There's two possibilities for what esoteric medicine is doing. One is that it's useless. The other is that it's doing the same thing as physician, though possibly with different efficiency. Physician is not 'traditional rational reductionists approaches', physician is 'long-term medical treatment with TL-appropriate methods'. Most esoteric medicine is effectively Physician/TL4 (aka useless), hypothetical more useful methods would be something like Physician/TL4+4.
