I know, right? the average MD probably wasn't taught enough about statistics to identify a normal distribution from a hypodermic needle, much less tell you what little actual data he sees, means. Too many doctors believe their own press.

I have never had much respect for doctors. Very few are independent thinkers. Even fewer understand the scientific method.

the average MD is pushing lipitor and an employee, so they parrot whatever the boss pays them to say. now the independents...that's a different story. but vet them very carefully, they're all as different blades of grass. I know, because I have crazy, dumb, lazy, brilliant, craven and greedy MD friends/colleagues as a physician myself
