Biomedical knowledge
progress and priorities
pp. 131-151
Abstract
In the present essay I am going to begin with some comments on the essays of Professors Weissmann [24] and Wartofsky [22]. I will then go on to develop the outlines of what I take to be a more realistic and adequate picture of the process of genesis, dissemination, and application of biomedical knowledge in the context of the current system of health care and in medical research institutions.
