Excellent post, very thought provoking. It is good to be aware of our internal bias towards eminent doctors or lawyers or even rugby heroes. Show me the evidence will be my inspiration for 2009

I can relate to what you are saying here. EBM sounds very nice in theory but from my past experience (yes showing off my eminence on implementing guidelines in EHRs its been a tremendous challenge. There are so many “ifs” and “buts” that an evidence collected doesn’t match the given situation of a patient and hence eminence or experience is the best resort to make decisions.
I think its the same deal with Obama and the current administration – what we are seeing is unprecedented – there are no best-practice guidelines that the administration can follow to get us out of this mess.

Shahid,
There’s an amusing yet telling article in BMJ regarding the alternatives to Evidence-Based decision making here:

http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=28313

and summarized in this table:

http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=28313&rendertype=table&id=TN0x94f1e40.0×9866470

In case WordPress chews up the URLs above, just google this string “evidence eminence vehemence eloquence providence diffidence nervousness confidence” It will take you to the BMJ article; the table elaborates Markers and Measuring device. Again, it’s tongue-in-cheek, similar to how Jon Stewart on the Daily Show is “just kidding.”

Enjoy.
