title: [Medical-surgical intuition and professional policy].
abstract: Many decisions in business and policy are made intuitively. According to scientific studies intuitive persons do not belong to a certain social group; they are unconventional, self-confident and self-reliant. In professional policy facts established by documentary evidence and legally guaranteed are the basis for decisions. Facts are dealing with the past. In order to consider the future and to react in situations of immediate interest intuitive abilities are just as important. (The appropriate argument at the right time at the right place). Beside the "Leitlinien" in surgical therapy the "Methodenfreiheit", which is connected to intuitive thinking, must be lasting.
