This YouTube video ("Modern Medicine For Your Joint Pain" by Dr. Joshua John-Ram Schacter) reflects on how medical practice continually evolves. The speaker emphasizes that treatments once thought universal (e.g., historical use of mercury) are later found to be harmful or inadequate, and urges adopting improved, evidence-based methods and tools for treating joint pain.
And it is the practice of medicine because we're always learning. I always tell my patients, it's kind of like in the 1800s, we gave everybody mercury because we thought it cured everything. Of course. Of course. And it is the practice of medicine because we're always learning. We're always moving ahead. We always find out that maybe what we did 10 or 15, 20 years ago wasn't so great. So now let's start doing it the better way that we know. And now we have those tools.
