Ya it's a narrow scope.
The medical views etiology of sickness (how sickness occurs) is a total mismatch of how we view as the etiology of sickness. For them it's about body complex malfunction. There's more move towards mind-body-spirit but on the whole a very compartmentalized view where the focus is just on body complex.
If symptoms are merely consequences of deeper problems, it can be related to our psychology or distortions carried through lives or whatnot. They can't see that due to limitations of their socially accepted way of knowing (epistemology) and compartmentalized view of illness.
Not to say there's no utility in medicine... if I had an appendix ready to burst I'd go to ER.
