This article maintains that via the current form of evidence-based medicine, scientism (a pseudo-religious belief in science that is itself not scientific) has been allowed to encroach into medicine. By setting out the philosophical limits of what it is science can do, the effects of this encroachment are discussed in terms of upsetting the balance between the necessarily conflicting art AND science of medicine. In this context, one effect of the Covid-19 pandemic might be to act as a timely reminder - as if it was needed - of the importance of the Hippocratic Oath, which is and always has been the soul of medicine.
本文认为，通过当前形式的循证医学，唯科学主义（一种对科学的伪宗教信仰，本身并不科学）已经被允许侵入医学领域。通过阐述科学所能做的哲学界限，可以根据这种侵入如何打破医学中必然存在冲突的艺术和科学之间的平衡来讨论其影响。在这种情况下，新冠疫情的一个影响可能是及时提醒人们——如果有必要的话——重视希波克拉底誓言的重要性，该誓言一直是医学的灵魂。
