A story in the current Reader's Digest, "When Your Doctor Doesn't Know," raises the disconcerting thought that you could bring an illness to your doctor, or doctors, and that the physicians couldn't figure it out, not because no solution existed, but because they weren't up to finding it. It's a dilemma that reveals that doctoring isn't all science, but part art, too.The same might be said for criminology. Just because police haven't solved a crime, doesn't mean a solution is unattainable.
