Excerpt

The integration of evidence-based medicine, while clinically important for diagnosis and treatment, generally faces two problems: First, collecting reliable, high-level data remains difficult. This is especially true for patients with acute trauma as those trauma settings rarely allow for relaxed, informative conversations. Related to this, patients in these stressful settings often prefer the physician’s recommendations pertaining to therapy. They normally have a limited interest in our unsolved problems, and even less interest in being randomized to therapies with uncertain benefits. …
