EDITORIAL: Post-Modern Medicine: Reconciling Traditional and Modern Medical Practice

The article presented here could be perceived as an inevitable and important revolution in the field of medicine. It also provides a new framework within which the formerly exclusive and often contradictory domains of complementary and modern medicine can be reconciled. Post-Modernism, as an unavoidable current and a sign of the times, has also sent shock waves to the medical arena where we can diagnose the harmonization of traditional (alternative, holistic or complementary) and modern (conventional, standard, orthodox, or allopathic) medical procedures and therapies. The objective of this article is to identify this trend, categorize and taxonomize it as a phenomenon and to recommend its adoption in medical training. Indeed, Post- Modern Medicine is the final outcome of reconciling complementary and modern medicine.
