Hello All,
 
I may be missing the point, but do others get frustrated with the term uncertainty in medicine? I've just received another pile of promotional material from a publisher who's highlighting uncertainty in medicine and insinuating their evidence is the answer.  Surely, 'all' evidence does is quantify the uncertainty?  For instance a drug may have a NNT of 25 - where's the certainty in that?
 
Here's hoping for some serious and lighthearted responses.
 
Best wishes
