Learning new information that is consistent with a previously learned model or paradigm is easy: just “plug and play” new data into an old mainframe. However, learning new information within a new model requires that we first create some space for that new information. If people are rigidly adherent to the medical paradigm, then the mind is not open to a new way of seeing things. Being open to a change in paradigm does not indicate that a person thereafter ignores previous information, or to the extreme “stops using drugs to treat patients,” but rather has more options and can use drugs within a framework of cognitive flexibility, rather than blind obedience and repetitive routine.
