Medicine is actually a Zetetic Science where the researcher puts the experiment first, conclusions after.
So they just give people random drugs? O that's right, they don't.  They already have a drug they think will do something. Then they test it.

Hypothesis/Conclusion does not come first as the Scientific Method instructs. In Zeteticism the experiment must come before the conclusion.
Scientific method does not say the conclution comes first.

When they want to know how different chemicals will react to red blood cells, for example, they create rooms and rooms of vials which test each and every result for the desired cause.
Yes the scientific method would allow that.

They do the same with the "Folding at Home" project. It tests each and every possibility methodically to find a suitable result.
You don't know what fah does.

There aren't any hypothesis' when it comes to medicine. When you want results you start with the experiment stage first, conclusions after. That's how you find the truth. Samuel Birley Rowbotham knew this very well.
False.  Like I stated, one would just be throwing compounds at people until they saw something.  This is not what pharmaceutical companies do.

They certainly test random drugs on biological samples, or small creatures, to see what works and what does not.

The Scientific Method says that one must hypothesize first and then create an experiment around that hypothesis.

The Zetetic Method says that one must experiment first, letting the results speak for themselves.

Medical chemists certainly use the Zetetic Method for creating drugs. See the Folding at Home project. The project goes through a rapid series of different configurations to see what works and what does not.

Experiment first, conclude after. That's how the truth is found.

When you hypothesize first and create an experiment around that hypothesis your experiment is fallacious because you are deliberately proving whatever you are trying to prove. Finding the absolute truth of the matter has nothing to do with the Scientific Method. With the Scientific Method you are attempting to prove your idea true.

In the old days(14th century), yes.  They had an illness and tested random stuff to see what happens.  Although even they had hypothesises.  If chewing root X cured you, then root X cures you of the disease you have.  That's a hypothesis.
You have been ignored for common interest of mankind.

They would still have a hypothesis if they did it like that.

If you just experiment you will never be able to find what you are looking for.  You will also not be able to remove all the variables.

Folding @ home (fah) folds proteins.  They check for the lowest energy. The run certain proteins. This is in no way Zetetic Method.   
Here is what they do.

How do you set up an experiment when you don't even know what you are looking for?

You are trying to show your hypothesis. It either fails or it doesn't fail.  You actually know what you are looking for so you can remove all the variables except the ones you want to test.

Incorrect.
Doctors use hypoitheses all the time.
how else would you know what to test for, if you could only test for one.
Granted you can use the brute force method, but doctors can't always test for everything.

The first thing actually is observation, aka patient history and where does it hurt.
then comes expirement if necessary.
with your method, how will you solve the cases?


You seem to not understnad the difference between hypothesis and conclusion.
The beginning of the SM, is observation and hypothesis, much like Zeteicism. then they test even more to see if they are right, which is unlike Zeteticism, where you assume your initial logic to be correct.
