“I have this urge to find explanations, and I can't seem to get rid of it”, confesses David Menon, Professor of Anaesthesia at University of Cambridge (Cambridge, UK), referring to his Twitter profile that neatly labels him as an incurable clinical rationalist. Menon suggests that, for him, evidence alone is not quite enough; “why have we got this result—this is the question that consumes me”, he explains. There is something particularly reassuring about a doctor who is a self-confessed knowledge-addict—this may well be the essence of Menon.

大卫·梅农（David Menon）：令人难以置信，无法治愈的临床理性主义者

剑桥大学麻醉学教授大卫·梅农（David Menon）说：“我渴望找到解释，但我似乎无法摆脱它。”他的Twitter个人资料整齐地将他标记为不能治愈的临床理性主义者。梅农认为，对他而言，仅凭证据还不够。他解释说：“为什么我们得到这个结果？这是困扰我的问题。” 对于一个自称是知识上瘾者的医生来说，特别令人放心的事情—这很可能就是梅农的本质。
