Thank you, Stephen, for this calm and judicial post. I tend to agree with what you say here -- I didn’t feel that I could comment on the exhibit itself, having not seen it, but my sense was that it was underdeveloped, possibly because of worries about its controversial nature. I don’t think there was a ‘PC’ concern about offending users of these therapies (although there were undoubtedly ethical considerations about the context in which the accounts by identifiable individuals were displayed) but how critics would react (which they obviously got wrong). I totally agree that the treatment of all the medical exhibits should be more consistent -- issues of trust, belief and knowledge (or lack of) are often equally pertinent in the lay person’s use of evidence-based medicine, and the question of how the various traditions interact is worth exploring properly.
