BMATSection 2: Scientific Knowledge and Applications

Q: When resting, the inside of a nerve cell contains more chloride ions  than sodium ions and so is negatively charged. When the cell fires, 

sodium ions, but not potassium ions, enter the cell through a channel  and the voltage becomes positive.

What feature of the chemistry of sodium and potassium could explain  why sodium ions and not potassium ions enter the cell during firing?

A

The chlorides have different solubilities.

B

The ions have different colours.

C

The metals have different reactivity.

D

The ions have different masses.

E

The ions have different sizes.

A: Although an unusual context, the chemistry here is quite  straightforward.

The solubilities of the two chlorides are similar, but solubility is  not the issue. 

The colour of the ions is irrelevant. 

The reactivity of the two metals is quite similar, as are their  masses. 

Potassium ions are much larger than sodium ions and will not fit into the ion channels in the cell membrane, so

E is the correct 

answer.

Section 3: Writing Task

Q: There is more to healing than the application of scientific  knowledge.

Write a unified essay in which you address the following:

Briefly define ‘scientific knowledge’. Explain how it might be  argued that medical treatment that is not wholly based on 

scientific knowledge is worthless. Discuss whether there can be  approaches to healing the are valid but not amenable to 

scientific experiment.

Sample Answer: Scientific knowledge is the understanding of the relationship between cause and effect, gained through empirical study of natural and man-made phenomena. (Empiricism distinguishes “natural philosophy” from “science”.) Theories must be tested repeatedly and corroborated by different parties, after which they may be accepted into the current body of scientific knowledge.One could argue that medical treatment should be wholly based on such “scientific knowledge” as follows.1.Without proper empirical understanding of cause and effect, we cannot predict the outcome of treatment, and therefore cannot be sure whether our treatment could do harm of good. It may be better not to treat at all.2.Without scientific reproduction of results, there are no principles that can apply to many patients, therefore treatment must be individual and inefficient.3.Unless treatment is based on scientific knowledge, it might be incompatible with current medical methods that are themselves scientific and mechanistic CONT

4. If treatment cannot be supported by scientific knowledge, it is impossible to be accountable for one’s actions or to be safe from litigation.

These arguments may not be valid in some cases, but the modern paradigm of “healing” is as much to do with removal of obstacles to mental potential as it is the removing those blocking physical weakness. “Medical treatment” is really only concerned with the latter. The use of alternative therapies or new ways of working to release psychological potential is concerned largely with the scientific conditions of individuals, and cannot be tested empirically, or generalised across the whole affected population. By recognising this very important aspect of health care, it is perfectly possible for the standard concept of science-based medicine and individualistic and holistic approaches to health care to coexist and complement one another.

The examiner’s comments on this answer.There’s no such thing as a perfect essay; really good answers can take

many forms, and are rarely without some faults. This example, which  has only been lightly edited, achieved full marks, even though it could  certainly be improved upon. It is clear that the person writing the 

piece is in command of the issue in questions, has the ability to think  about it in an original way and express him/herself compellingly. It was 

felt that the ‘definition’

paragraph was clear and forceful, though the  ‘history of science’

lesson wasn’t really necessary! The candidate 

showed greater insight and breadth in the justifications (numbered  paragraphs) he or she gave for the ‘worthless’

proposition, ranging 

from the purely scientific or practical, to the speculative and socio‐ legal, than other essays. He or she clearly showed an understanding of 

the alternative point of view and made a convincing and practical  synthesis of the two in the closing paragraph.

Read the article and then answer the multiple choice  questions.

1   Physicians and Patients 

Traditional medical oaths and codes prescribe a physician’s character,  motives, and duties. Typically they portray ideal physicians as devoted to the 

welfare of patients and to advancement of the medical profession

and  medical knowledge, responding compassionately to the suffering of patients, 

humbly mindful of the limits of their curative powers and the harms they may  unintentionally cause. The Hippocratic injunction “Strive to help, but above 

all, do no harm”

is the ruling maxim. 

Although still supported by religious texts and medical tradition, this ideal  physician is increasingly criticized as “paternalistic”, too willing to act on 

judgments of a patient’s best interests without the patient’s knowledge or  consent. To treat without consulting a patient is to assume that

a patient 

does or should share one’s own assessment of the risks, benefits, and  burdens of treatment. But current hospital specialists, it is said, rarely know 

their

patients (or themselves) well enough to make this assumption without  serious risk of ignorant arrogance. Given hospital hierarchies, such 

paternalistic physicians are seen to resemble Victorian patriarchs.  

Some physicians reject such criticism as intervention by lawyers,  philosophers, feminists, and other social critics ignorant of the realities of 

medical and hospital life. But the “neo‐paternalists”

admit that physicians  should attend more carefully to a patient’s desires and to give them greater 

weight in arriving at a treatment of choice. Unmollified

critics, however,  continue to insist that treatment choice belongs to the patient,

however 

imprudent, and not to the physician, however attentive and knowing. To curb  Hippocratic paternalism they define a range of patients’

specific rights to be 

told  about, and choose among, alternative treatments, including

a right to  refuse all, even life‐saving treatment.  

These rights confer adult status on patients whom paternalists regard as  children, replacing quasi‐familial with quasi‐legal relations. A patient’s “free 

and informed consent”

reflects an implicit therapeutic contract, defined and  reviewed as treatment proceeds. A physician who treats without such

consent is not a patriarch, but a batterer. Less litigiously, these rights define a  “principle of autonomy”

traced to Kantian notions of respect for persons and 

inherent human dignity. 

Attempts to apply this principle have raised questions of scope:

Is a patient’s  “free and informed consent”

needed for routine procedures with slight or 

rare risks? Is consent required if a patient would, in the physician’s judgment,  be “medically harmed”

by information about diagnosis and prognosis? Are 

refusals to be honoured even if patients risk death, as do surgical patients  religiously opposed to blood transfusion? Does the principle (contra Kant)  cover voluntary euthanasia? Can children or mentally ill patients give 

informed consent at least for some procedures? Can parents or other  surrogates give or refuse “substituted”

consent when a patient is too ill to 

consider the options or to speak. Whatever the scope of a principle of patient  autonomy, this challenge to paternalism has shifted the categories of 

concern. Physicians’

power, not their character, has become the issue.  Consequently, “Who is to decide?”

has become more pressing than “What is 

to be done?”

Proper procedure has become as important, in medical ethics,  as correct conclusions.

Cardiff Sixth Form College is proud of its involvement in the prestigiousSpace Settlement Design Competition at NASA for the past two years and in 2011 

came First in the Final Competition. 

The college is confident that participation in this type of programme allows students to push themselves academically while adding a global 

perspective to their work experience portfolios.

Each year our students join teams from selected schools all across the world to compete in the final of the 

competition held in NASA where they form teams/companies with other schools and are required to put 

forward proposals for a specified problem. The competition requires a lot of intensive work and involves 

long hours of discussion, planning and evaluating each other’s ideas in a competitive setting. At the end, 

each company gives a formal presentation to an audience of approximately 1000. The audience is made up 

of peers, post graduate students and internationally renowned scientists employed at NASA.

The student's experience is further enhanced  through several excursions including visits to  heritage sites, island touring, Orangutan 

Wildlife sites and shopping at the Famous Twin  Towers. While participating in all the above, 

students are contributing in the local  community by teaching English at the local 

orphanage. 

It is our belief that raising awareness of  cultural issues and broadening the horizons of 

students in full time education should be a  priority. Through the interactive activities that 

take place, this trip provides students with a  unique cultural exchange experience and the  opportunity to build genuine friendships in the 

local communities.

Cardiff is ideal for students. It is a capital city and has all the attractions and opportunities you would expect. It’s one of the top 10 shopping cities and The Millennium Stadium, International Arena and Wales Millennium Centre attract the biggest and best bands and shows. It’s the home of Welsh rugby, international cricket, and the FA Cup finalists, Cardiff City. The city centre and Cardiff Bay waterfront cafes and restaurants offer a life worthy of a capital city. Cardiff offers a pleasantly safe living and learning environment. It’s small, friendly and easy to get around but big enough to offer all the best bits of living in a major city.
