Am I Real or Am I Memorex?: Assumptions of Conscious
Minds in Medicine

Care in medicine is fundamentally predicated on an assumption that we and our patients are conscious minds.  Why is this important and why have we come to this conclusion? This talk will highlight some enduring conundrums and approaches to the mysteries of consciousness.  This talk will also attempt to relate some of these concepts to the stories we tell about our patients, and ourselves in the exam room.
