When I was completing my Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner program, I was constantly reminded by my professors to stay on track and use evidence-based medicine, or EBM, in the care of my patients. I was usually protesting since it didn't seem to make my patients any better.
Now I know why. Dr. John Ioannidis, a physician, and his team of researchers, have found that as much as 90 percent of published medical researched is wrong.
What does this mean? It means that your physician, who is bent on using EBM, is basing his treatment approach on false information.
Hope you feel better now!

How can you say 90 percent of published medical researched is wrong? Do you already have evidence data based about these issue?
