subjective and macro

What would be the result of deliberately limiting oneself to subjective information gathered from patients? Not looking at MRI scans or blood test results, not taking blood pressure... not 'hearing' any diagnosis that was based on the objective results of modern diagnostic techniques.

No prolapsed discs, no fractures, no stomach inflammation, no liver hardening,

Just symptoms and signs. Pain, bowel movements, twitching, paralysis, hair loss, worsening vision, itching, weakness, sleeplessness, fright... And signs? Flushed cheeks, dry skin, goosebumps, non-symmetry, sensitivity or special reactions to pressure, heat, or needling.

And instead of allowing one's mind to wander down the paths of anatomy, physiology, and pathology, instead expand it to find connections between seemingly irrelevant pieces of information. (is that the meaning of 'holistic' in CM? Of course, in CM there is already a mass of information on the connections between different symptoms/colors/etc)

I think instead of saying 'macro' I should say 'holistic'. ...still not sure what I'm trying to express with that...
