Personal anecdote:

Me: Propavan doesn't work for me anymore.

Psychiatrist: Of course it does, people don't build up a tolerance to Propavan.

Me: But I used to fall fast asleep from half a pill. Now I take two, and still lie awake all night.

Psychiatrist: No, that's not how Propavan works. You don't build up a tolerance to Propavan, they work just as well after many years as they did initially.

Very well put!

If there's no need to discuss epistemic injustice in particular, because we already have the broader concepts of good/bad clinical practice, why stop there? Let's ditch all that talk about Good Clinical Practice and stick to ETHICS! Since ethics covers all of human life, it also covers clinical encounters. We should just ask ourselves whether a clinician behaved ethically or unethically with their patients, no need for all these special concepts! (Sarcasm.)
