the five assumptions of the biomedical model: 1. Science is reality. The only knowledge that is valuable is scientific. 2. the patient is not an individual, but their body is a machine that requires repairing. 3. Restoring health (homeostatis, free from illness) requires ONLY medical technology 4. All diseases are caused by a specific agent (virus, bacteria, etc.) all phenomena can be reduced to molecular Biology. What is not reductable cannot be real. 5. Diseases are universal, and are resulting from dysfunction.
