“A NEW paradigm for medical practice is emerging.”
“Evidence based medicine seeks to empower clinicians so that they can develop independent views regarding medical claims and controversies.”
“Some evidence is more trustworthy than others.”
“Evidence itself never makes decisions.”
“Evidence is always in the context of values and preferences.”
“It is crucial to be able to distinguish evidence you can trust from evidence that is untrustworthy.”
“Time limitation remains the biggest obstacle to evidence-based practice.”
“Before EBM, there was a lot of inappropriate confidence among clinicians.”
