Adrian:
Perhaps evidence-based medicine over structured data may help to to check 
Watson's new medical knowledge?
Ferenc:
Sorely, if the knowledge base and learning algorithm of Watson is based on a 
dynamic, but single algortihm as opposed to a data base.
This is the recursive algorithm used in medical inquiry and treatment:    (01)

patient has complaint
Examine patient (run the various types to establish diagnosis)
Diagnosis found
Is treatment/therapy available from medical history files for similar or 
identical patiens/cases,symptoms, etc.that have proven "cured or worked" record?
Apply therapy (kinds of palliative, conservative, chemical, radiation, physico, 
etc.)
Patine has complaint?
No. 
Call the undertaker    (02)

     (03)

Ferenc    (04)

 
Attention is the weakest, but a minimum form of connecting.
It is also the minimum price you pay for getting connected.
Getting connected means exchanging information. "Information is transformation"
