BUT, it is precisely that annoyance with our medical knowledge base inadequacy, that pushes me toward well designed trials. Condoning Rx based on the "old man" or increasingly in recent years the "old woman" passed on his/her best judgement, must be replaced by prospective, randomized trial based data. Clearly it is difficult if not impossible sometimes to test certain hypotheses this way, but we must strive to do so as often as possible. It's the right thing to do, damn it!Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02914731404992480272noreply@blogger.com
