If God Doesn’t Play Dice, Should Doctors?

This talk presents a new history and analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) making the case that while these can be very helpful, at present they are being fetished and we now face medical scenarios that will require a restoration of faith in clinical judgement rather than more RCTs.

    No, Joke!

    Always start off a Lecture with a Joke, to relax everybody

    Donald Schell and family –

     a US jury agreed with him that Paxil (Seroxat in the UK), an SSRI manufactured by the British giant GlaxoSmithKline, caused Donald Schell to kill his wife, daughter, granddaughter and himself and awarded the remaining family members £4.2m compensation.

    David is steeped in ‘estimating effects’

    ‘strategic ignorance’
