Hi all, the exercise of medicine is an art. This is not an exact science as the physics. With the biology, the anatomo-pathology, the x'ray explorations and R.M.Imaging, the physician gets information that are validated. They are validated because there was physical signal registration that was digital, pictures in RMI. These pictures, as blades of microscope, can be reread, in the time by other physicians. They have a statute of data validated by the physician and therefore publishable in the file of cares of the sick. The diagnosis makes by the physician is the result of a reasoning, from one wholes of information that it to on his patient. One teaches it to students future physicians. The diagnosis is sometimes fast, but often it asks for a delay of several days weeks or years!! or never !! Hypoth?seses, elaborate by the physician, are only some likely, probable information. In France, there is an agreement to say that it is about " personal " Notes that are not validated.and what are the property of the physician. They are not therefore publishable and especially no opposable in judicial proc?s case. In short according to Shannon (theory of information), too much information, no precise, mask the good information to take a decision.
