Sažetak
There is a pervasive contemporary belief that modern medicine is evidence-based, and thus rational, profession. Likewise, evidence-based medicine and evidence-based health system are supposed to have an inherent ability for self-correction and self-improvement. Of course, many critiques are addressed toward modern medicine, for example because of progressive increase in costs due to the end of the era of “ low hanging fruit” in health industry and because of deleterious effects of free marketing on a health system. However, the very idea of medicine and related sciences as scientifically and rationally based has strong general acceptance and is rarely questioned.
