Talk:contraindication
Add topicI'm not sure the new definition is any clearer. Maybe I'm just being grumpy, but having read the new definition, I'm not certain I am thinking of the correct word anymore. It possibly could be wrong; many patients ignore doctor's recommendations - weakening the language about the word doesn't make the treatment any less dangerous. A treatment is a contraindication if it will kill someone (or only do serious harm if caught in time) right?
Or has the meaning of the word been "relaxed" by real-life hospital use/misuse recently? If so, then perhaps the "relaxed" new meaning merits a separate line entry? --Connel MacKenzie 05:52, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
