摘要: Based on the popular reductionist tradition, advancement of molecular medicine has generated a great deal promise. In reality, however, much promise will not be realized due to high levels system complexity. The conventional wisdom is that, if we try harder, and dissect further by pushing new technologies, should able solve most challenging heath issues, as have overcome so in past. Is this belief solid realistic? chapter, introducing some typical yet surprising cases current medical complexity, I briefly describe key features bio-complexity its impact bio-medical issues. Specifically, discuss relationship between parts whole, issue heterogeneity stochasticity, importance treating many health issues with regard evolutionary concept. Following analyses successful unsuccessful approaches, appears how status can improved without triggering chaos, all intervention potential generate stress. Finally call upon need develop more comprehensive holistic strategies for future medicine, which require balanced approach.
