[Numbers are also words].
The author, leaving aside his development as a statistician, opens up to other proposals, reviewing some studies about qualitative research methodology as related to health sciences. He concludes that qualitative research complements quantitative research and that a subjective element exists in both: numbers are also words because behind numbers there is a reflexive process and a human interpretation.
