Vijayaraghavan Padmanabhan: Quantum View of Medicine Medicine needs to be understood in a 'quantum' rather than the 'continuum' way if the observed phenomena in the world of medicine are to be fully accounted for. When a disease understood to be nearly incurable by conventional medicine and is cured by an unexplained alternative medicine, it is usually overlooked or disregarded as an 'exception'. The quantum view of medicine can explain such apparent variations or exceptions. 2
