Generalists and specialists are often considered two completely distinct species, which culminates in the establishment of a concept of dichotomy. However, these dichotomy can at times fuel tension and even erupt into open conflict. In order to resolve this issue, the author herein proposes the concept of a "genecialist." The genecialist refers to a hybrid comprising elements inherent to both generalists and specialists. This potentially overcomes the multitude of issues associated with both generalists and specialists in the practical aspects of medicine. The coalescence of these two contrarieties may hold the key to improving the future of health care. Mediating and integrating both categories into one consolidated entity carries the potential to stem the tide of class warfare between generalists and specialists.
通才和专才通常被认为是两种截然不同的物种,这最终导致了二分法概念的建立。然而,这种二分法有时会引发紧张局势,甚至演变成公开冲突。为了解决这个问题,作者在此提出了“通才主义者”的概念。通才主义者是指一种由通才和专才所共有的元素混合而成的混合体。这在医学的实际应用中可能会克服通才和专才所带来的诸多问题。这两种对立观点的融合可能是改善医疗保健未来的关键。将这两个类别调和并整合为一个统一的实体,有可能遏制通才和专才之间的阶级斗争。
