Evidence-Based Medicine: The Best Among Alternatives
Evidence-based medicine, despite its limitations, remains the most reliable approach available. Critiques of evidence-based methods must offer viable alternatives; otherwise, they fall short of contributing to the medical discourse. Alternative medicine often resorts to confirmation rather than challenging existing claims, leading to ethical dilemmas in clinical practice. Clinicians face a gray area in navigating these ethical issues, questioning whether the responsibility lies with them, regulatory bodies, or the medical community at large. Maintaining ethical standards is crucial, and providing pseudo-scientific remedies is unjustifiable.
