At the borders of medical reasoning - aetiological and ontological challenges of medically unexplained symptoms
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)Medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) remain recalcitrant to the medical profession, proving less suitable for homogenic treatment with respect to their aetiology, taxonomy and diagnosis. While the majority of existing medical research methods are designed for large scale population data and sufficiently homogenous groups, MUS are characterised by their heterogenic and complex nature. As a result, ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-09-21)This paper explores the nature of causation within the framework of evidence-based practice (EBP) for health care.

The paper was premised on the ... -
Causation in Evidence-Based Medicine: In reply to Strand and Parkkinen
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)Strand and Parkkinen criticize our dispositional account of causation in evidence-based medicine for failing to provide a proper epistemology of causal knowledge. In particular, they claim that we do not explain how causal inferences should be drawn. In response, we point out that dispositionalism does indeed have an account of the epistemology of causation, including counterfactual dependence, ... -

Krisebevissthet og medisinsk leseevne
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-14)Faget medisin har gradvis blitt mer avhengig av teknologi på måter som forsterker objektiveringen av mennesket. For pasienten handler dette i økende grad om å bli isolert fra en større kontekst og delt i fragmenter. Vi påpeker at denne utviklingen er beslektet med en distansering til, og tingliggjøring av, naturen. Denne utviklingens etiske implikasjoner fordrer på begge områder besinnelse, tenksomhet, ... -

Possibilities and paradoxes in medicine: love of order, loveless order and the order of love
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-09)We have a desire to discover and create order, and our constitution, including our rational faculties, indicates that we are predisposed for such productivity. This affinity for order and the establishment of order is fundamental to humans and naturally also leaves its mark on the medical discipline. When this profession is made subject to criticism, frequently in terms of well-used reproofs such ... -
What is called symptom?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)There is one concept in medicine which is prominent, the symptom. The omnipresence of the symptom seems, however, not to be reflected by an equally prominent curiosity aimed at investigating this concept as a phenomenon. In classic, traditional or conventional medical diagnostics and treatment, the lack of distinction with respect to the symptom represents a minor problem. Faced with enigmatic ...
