Science vs art : While i'm not a rheumatologist, your question applies to all medical specialties. We doctors all have our personal styles. Some are really keen on science & numbers etc while others are more people oriented. In the end, we all want to help you feel better. But those differences lead to different approaches to how we provide care. Likewise, some like to try latest drugs while others wait . .
