We thought there might be some response to our post Are Journalists the Answer to Clinical Medicine's Cause and Effect Problem, which, in the nicest possible way, accused The BMJ of cooking up the equivalent … [Read more...] about Not The BMJ News

Are Journalists the Answer to Clinical Medicines Cause and Effect Problem?

August 6, 2023 7 Comments

This post by David Healy and Peter Selley does not question the good intentions of anyone mentioned.  But sometimes good intentions can land us in a mess.  In 2001, Study 329, a clinical trial comparing paroxetine to imipramine and placebo was published; it claimed paroxetine was effective and safe (1).  Jon Jureidini and other clinicians drew attention to problems with the … [Read more...] about Are Journalists the Answer to Clinical Medicines Cause and Effect Problem?

Peeking behind the Curtain for a Wizard

August 1, 2023 10 Comments

This post by Patrick Hahn about The Day the Science Died reminds us that we have lived through some extraordinary times but seem inclined as perhaps people were after World War II to not dwell on things and just get on with life - for a decade or two until the memories came back. - see The Day The Science Died. I’m not a medical doctor. I don’t even play one on TV. So why … [Read more...] about Peeking behind the Curtain for a Wizard

Femmes Enceintes et Essais Cliniques

June 2, 2023 16 Comments
