evidence-based medicine

I'm not disagreeing with anything you've said but I am saying that "evidence-based medicine" depends very much on who is interpreting the "evidence" and therin lies the rub. It is the best we have but it is far from ideal and has a lot of flaws. That's not to say we should chuck the idea but don't go into it blindly believing that "evidence-based medicine" means that all physicians or researchers agree with the interpretation and some may strongly disagree - spend some time asking difficult questions of the docs you're involved with.
