Biblical Answer

It is possible that your doctor recommended a high-risk treatment because it is the only option that has the potential to cure your condition. In the provided text, it is mentioned that the doctor did not want the patient to have weakness in their back and knees that could be a problem for the rest of their life. This suggests that the doctor was weighing the risks and benefits of the treatment and decided that the potential benefits outweighed the risks.

Another possibility is that the doctor recommended the high-risk treatment because it is the most effective option available. The text states that "we dont know why it doesn't help others" and "we dont know why, for any individual person, some medications are more effective than others." This suggests that the doctor may have made a decision based on the available data, even if it is imperfect.

Ultimately, the decision to pursue a high-risk treatment is a complex one that requires careful consideration of the potential risks and benefits. It is not simply a matter of following the majority opinion or relying on medical science. As the text notes, "the extent to which a medicine is offered is not limited by the number of persons favorably disposed to buy it and use it." This means that the doctor's recommendation may not be based on the opinions of others, but rather on their own professional judgment and assessment of the situation. It is up to the individual to carefully weigh the pros and cons and make an informed decision about their treatment.
