Thanks Juan, 

Oncologist and bioethicist Zeke Emanuel advises against the physical and this was received with much public backlash in the USA.

Likely because we have not educated the public well regarding EBM and instead have set the expectations about the value of testing and treatments that we cannot meet...
Best,

Rich
