This statement is being used a lot in medical circles these days and I must confess my thoughts when I hear it roll so casually from someone's lips:1. What evidence? 2. Did you mean skewed evidence or false evidence? 3. Oh, I know! Biased evidence.
It almost seems people are trying to convince themselves and others that medicine is a legitimate science. There is no doubt the public is largely convinced of this but no one seems willing to face the abysmal track record in medicine. No one in the US wants talk about our ranking of 37th in the world for quality of healthcare despite spending the most money per capita in the world. Now there's some evidence.
