Dr. Jaiwant Rangi describes how normalizing lab values through standard treatments often leaves patients still feeling sick. Early in his career he thought good medicine meant prescribing the right drugs and fixing numbers, but he learned that quality care requires addressing the whole patient, not just the test results.

I often saw in my patients now that if I offer the standard of care that has been taught to me in medical school and residency and fellowship, I may fix the numbers. I may be practicing the best medicine, which is all approved and dictated by the standard of care for the patient, but the patient may not feel the best. So you're right, in my early training practice, I felt good medicine was taking care of patient as doing the evidence-based care, writing the right medications, and fixing the numbers on the labs. But it's a lot more than that.
