This twitter thread is on a topic that will remain relevant forever : "Medicine vs Alternative Medicine". Most relevant to all those healthcare professionals who debate on different treatment modalities along the lines of Logical vs Illogical, Scientific vs Unscientific, Evidence-based or not, and Medicine vs Alternative medicine.
The thread starts with a tweet by Dr. Adam Cifu (MD, Professor of Medicine, Associate Dean for Medical School Academic, University of Chicago). He is the co-author of two influential books, Symptom to Diagnosis and EndingMedical Reversal. Dr. Cifu also serves as a deputy editor of the JAMA Clinical Guideline Synopsis series.

Eastern vs western, mainstream vs unconventional etc are only for historical purposes and cultural interest.
3. Richard Dawkins has one about there being no such thing as alternative medicine. If it works, it’s just medicine. If it doesn’t, it isn’t.
