One of the harder parts of practicing medicine is working with things you can't easily measure.
Two patients can have the same labs and feel completely different.
Over time you start to notice patterns that don't show up in test results:
- how someone responds to stress
- how their system holds tension
- how long they've been pushing past their limits
These things shape physiology just as much as anything we can quantify but they're harder to quantify and harder to prove.
I shared a deeper reflection on this in a recent piece on Substack. Link in bio.
"What Shapes Health Beyond What We Can Measure."
This is where a lot of real clinical work actually lives.
Let me know what you think!
With curiosity & care,
