Medical philosophy? Smart thinking for doctors [PDF]

British Journal of General Practice, 2013
None of us can grasp our world.1 There are over 1011 stars in our galaxy, and about 1079 protons in the universe. Any consideration of such totalities is impossible for the mind to grasp, even though, by a strange coincidence, your brain contains 1011 neurones. I cannot grasp the reality of the billions of subatomic particles in the coffee mug in front
