Guidelines are quite interesting tools but they need to be used
thoughtfully. This is why they just guide
and are flexible, there is always room for individual cases where
physicians need to think and take decissions taking into account their
patientīs opinion. As EBM, guidelines are not cookbook recipes, this
example shows that bluntly.
The issue here is, assuming the news is not too biased, why this
guideline is followed so rigidly and what to do to avoid this...
