Philosophy of science meets UFC. I find this humerus. False science →. Hot off the press. October 8, 2010. Came out a couple of weeks ago from some of EBM/Cochrane Collaboration’s most inveterate foot soldiers. I believe Glasziou’s in Australia now, he seems to have a good brain from what I’ve seen of his work. They note a skyrocketing number of RCTs and reviews but don’t feel this is all a good thing-. Unsurprisingly, I agree with a lot of this comment. From Richard Smith, former editor of BMJ-. 1 Many ...

Philosophy of science meets UFC. I find this humerus #2. Rally for evidence →. October 28, 2010. A very ‘lively’ discussion is occurring between contributors of the blogging behemoth. I’ve been unable to register on SBM and this comment was too long for Healthcare etc so this is the comment I would have posted-. The SBM site won’t let me register, I’ve got an IT-savvy mate on the case but he’s had no luck, if I can crack it I’ll post this there too. I don’t now plan to participate in idea-sharing in this...

Philosophy of science meets UFC. Skepteopathy- a reprise →. November 4, 2010. From John Worrall, a philosophy of science dude at the London School of Economics. He was influenced early on by lectures from Popper and then studied under Lakatos. Give it a listen. While listening I realised I need to be clear about my position regarding ‘evidence-based medicine’, not just snipe and harangue. I advocate two main positions-. View all posts by Eddy Jenner →.

Philosophy of science meets UFC. Some patients are created more equal than others. I find this humerus #2 →. Here’s what we think we know today. October 23, 2010. Of the trial but I’m afraid I won’t do the maths for you. Separately this reminds me of an intensivist who early in my training told me that ‘about 50% of the clinical decisions we routinely make now will be proved as wrong during your career, of which many will be proved as actually harmful’ (remembering that only some, not all, de...Some pati...

Philosophy of science meets UFC. Anorak EBM →. November 3, 2010. These are from the recent ‘Rally to restore sanity’ run by 2 comedians in the US. I have no idea how the first placard fits in but it’s funny. The second doesn’t really belong on this blog but is also funny. Eddy is a doctor working in a metropolitan Australian hospital.

Skepteopathy- a reprise | My Lakatosian Belt
https://theykilledkenny.wordpress.com/2010/11/04/skepteopathy-a-reprise
Philosophy of science meets UFC. November 4, 2010. Warning: this post is. A mature and reasoned contribution to intellectual discourse. This is deliberately stirring the pot. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Anyway, take this quiz. One of these quotes is genuine, from a genuine source. The other isn’t. Guess which is which. From a homeopathy service? From a skeptical science site. Ok, who answered ‘the second’? You win a feeling of smug satisfaction. 8216; I’ve earlier commented. Dr Novella clearly feels h...

Philosophy of science meets UFC. Newer posts →. October 8, 2010. Great post from Beyond Anomie here. I like to tell anyone who’ll listen why it’s bad that most medical studies don’t report their statistical power, paired with the incorrect assumption that ‘absence of evidence of effect is evidence of absence of effect’. As outlined here someone has gone and looked at a range of studies and confirmed how low statistical power typically is. Hot off the press. October 8, 2010. To meet the needs of patients,...
