Mashup Score: 88Medicine is difficult—there are no shortcuts - 8 month(s) ago
Delivering high quality, patient centred care requires medical training that is long enough, broad enough, and deep enough, writes Andrew Elder A senior medical leader recently gave me a piece of advice. “Even when you are bored stiff saying the same thing again and again, say it again. Even when you think everybody will be fed up hearing it, say it again. Because the politicians may not yet have heard you.” So, I will say it again. Medicine is difficult. Yes, we have fabulous imaging and more laboratory investigations than any of us can name. And yes, we can interrogate our patients’ genomes, and the genomes of the organisms and cancers that infect and affect them. But, despite all this wonderful technology, diagnosis remains difficult. Every patient is a unique individual in a unique context, a product of both their biology and their biography. Making accurate and timely diagnoses requires more than just technology—it requires listening, observation, careful thought, judgment, and ti

Mashup Score: 209The scandal of poor medical research - 9 month(s) ago
We need less research, better research, and research done for the right reasons What should we think about a doctor who uses the wrong treatment, either wilfully or through ignorance, or who uses the right treatment wrongly (such as by giving the wrong dose of a drug)? Most people would agree that such behaviour was unprofessional, arguably unethical, and certainly unacceptable. What, then, should we think about researchers who use the wrong techniques (either wilfully or in ignorance), use the right techniques wrongly, misinterpret their results, report their results selectively, cite the literature selectively, and draw unjustified conclusions? We should be appalled. Yet numerous studies of the medical literature, in both general and specialist journals, have shown that all of the above phenomena are common.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 This is surely a scandal. When I tell friends outside medicine that many papers published in medical journals are misleading because of methodological weaknesses the
