Evidence-based medicine is based on stats. This is correct.

However, people are individuals. The mere definition of statistics will not let it get beyond just that. If statistics were all we needed, there is no need to suffer through school and residency to develop the clinical jedi-sense. Again, I would be hesitant to offer any statements based on odds alone. There are no absolutes. The one case that gets by you out of 1000 is the one that gets you sued. Unfortunately, the legal precedent with online chatter/bum information has already been set in the US. I am so jealous of Canadian practitioners.

Fotze - I don't know Dr. Fart, but I'd be surprised if he/she's offended by my posts. Docs are used to beaking back and forth all day long... at the end of the day, it's all in the name of making yourself better.
