to EBM

3. I have also written an (as yet)unpublished essay :
EVIDENCE-BASED MEDICINE: PARADIGM SHIFT OR NORMATIVE SCIENCE?
that overviews some of the historical resistance to the EBM paradigm (from
the enlightemnent to the present) and suggests some reasons why this has
occurred. I will email this to you
