Agree 100% Alfred. At first, the idea of "evidence based medicine" seemed like a great idea. The message to doctors appeared to be: read the literature, do your own critical appraisal, and practice medicine according to the evidence... but unfortunately, most doctors are too lazy to do that, so it became "follow the guidelines of the evidence dictated by 'expert' panels". It is a disgrace.
