Abstract

As the now commonly recommended study of ‘clinical epidemiology’ is meant to be preparation for practice of EBM, it is important, for everyone concerned, to understand that EBM is a cult movement, one whose founding doctrine is diametrically antithetical to the progress-promoting essence of modernity. The founding doctrine of the EBM cult is, also, at variance with the essence of science and the imperatives of professionalism in medicine. This doctrine is, however, widely appealing to doctors – even if its particular precepts, and practice, aren’t. The prevailing discordance between the touting and the practice of EBM is huge. The proper balance between those two is attained by making both of them disappear.
