1/n "Welcome to the new normal, an age where many things that we used to deem unusual or unacceptable have become just what we live with." "Truth tellers are the Achilles heel of collective denial because they call attention to what’s being ignored." scientificamerican.com/article/weve-h…
Clinically Vulnerable Families 💙💜💗 Fields with vastly more rigorous standards have decades of "real world" experience, in far more depth than what is accepted by all these cookbook cosplay-scientists in IPC and PH, who think that because they can't lead effective use, it can't be done. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Clinically Vulnerable Families 💙💜💗 This attitude is far too common inside the EBM bubble: ignore existing expertise, claim nothing from outside counts until they have (sloppily) retested it and taken credit for the resulting "discovery". The arrogant dismissal of "laboratory" data is a simple display of ignorance.
Jeff Cavanagh Clinically Vulnerable Families 💙💜💗 It's structurally kind of interesting, in a morbid sort of way. Since they put their own opinions above evidence, they're stuck in a cognitive feedback loop where they think they're entitled to ignore the evidence that would bring their opinions up to date.x.com/Mark_Ungrin/st…
Mark Ungrin Clinically Vulnerable Families 💙💜💗 And the reality that those systems are also highly tested in the field, as employed. Listening to them makes me again ask - what about all the things you trust your life to that weren’t EBM’d? The empiricism outside those clowns is so deep they can’t even begin to grasp it.
Mark Ungrin Clinically Vulnerable Families 💙💜💗 Simple example. Elevator controllers. Good way to die and yet when’s the last time you read about an elevator failing in the ‘real clinical world’? Traffic lights, water purification, every piece of an airplane, seat belts, and the purity and content of EVERY SINGLE DRUG!
💜 NB citizen Covid Updates Well, I’ve never seen a high quality study confirming that stairs are an effective way to move between floors in the real world. Best not enter any buildings until we can get some ‘clinician scientist’ goodness to spread around. /s
Rae Binita Kane Dr Claire Taylor crr Dr Asad Khan FRCP FRACP 🇵🇸🇳🇿🇮🇳🇬🇧#pwLC One can lead certain wilfully ignorant doctors & scientists to evidence, but you can't make them read it, understand it, or act upon it. 🙃🔥 (Tragically for the rest of us)
Dr. Dick Zoutman Not to tweet my own horn, but
69% of the representation for CANPCC Pediatric & adolescents guidelines are employees of Sick Kids SickKids Centre for Community Mental Health The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) or clinicians that have speciality in psychiatry/neuro! This shows inherent bias in how they r representing for entire Canada. Outrageous!!!!
