One of the basic flaws in the arguments of Paul Caldwell’s “Show Me the Evidence” article (Medical Post June 25, 2013) is that he seems to think we live in a “billiard ball” universe where one thing causes another. The problem is that we don’t, and the problem with modern medicine generally is that we think that we do. Hence the difficulty I have with his article.

I read the posting written by Dr. Doug Mark with some sadness. In fact, I will confess the announcement of Craig Bromell as COFPS chief negotiator did not get very much of my attention but something else certainly has: I am much more concerned with the decision by the COFPS to marginalize medical students, and perhaps others as well.
