Clinical Evidence
 
Scroll down for a pie chart that gives an overview of what we know about the effectiveness of current medical treatments.
 
Additionally, if you are contemplating a treatment choice, or facing treatment for a condition and would like to know what the best available evidence is for or against it, the specific treatment reviews on this site may prove to be a valuable resource for you.

Thanks for the link.  Very interesting concept. Have there been any evaluations published  of their work done by peers?




Lockit -> RE: Clinical Evidence (2/14/2009 8:14:00 AM)

Thank you for the link!  Of course they don't list the illness I have damn it!  From what I have seen... a lot depends on if they even know what is wrong with you... but most doctor's will act as if they do even when they don't.  I can't tell you how many times I had to protect myself from them risking my life becasue they were the expert and knew what would help me and what was best for me, when I was not the expert but knew better than to do what they still to this day insist is okay for me to do.  Oh... a lil asprin or over the counter medication won't hurt you... take it or you are seeking drugs!  Yeah... well... I have evidence that an asprin could kill me... now what have you idiots have to say?  You are still a drug addict looking for a high.  No... I am just looking to survive and you are no help in that!

Bottom line... ineffective, no help and dangerous sometimes.

They aren't the ones doing the treatment evaluations. "BMJ" is the peer-reviewed British Medical Journal. Their Clinical Evidence site summarizes, "the current state of knowledge and uncertainty about the prevention and treatment of clinical conditions, based on thorough searches and appraisal of the literature."
 
Unless I've misunderstood your question?

Oh, fuck, those arrogant cocksuckers. And dumb too. I had my Pain quack appt. Friday. I had a pee test the month prior. I tested positive for morphine. Of course, that means I'm a doper, right? My housemate's half-Ukrainian, and he makes this poppy-sees cake thing (makywynyk or something like that). He made it the day before I went in. Well, I like sweets, and I had a bunch of it. No surprise I'd test positive. I told him, "
well, if you have any of the sample left, why don't you test for papaverine and thebaine?" 'Are you a chemist?" "Yes, I was, I no longer work as such." He says, "I didn't know about papaverine until a couple weeks ago."

THIS JUST BLEW ME AWAY. This sonofabitch claims to be a pain specialist, and he doesn't even know what alkaloids are in poppies (and poppy seeds)? OH Jesus Christ. How many people have been fucked by douchebags like him because he didn't know shit?

He pointed out that morphine had shown up before. I didn't get a chance to go any further, because he's a 3 minute Johnny. Assembly-line medicine (Just like the right-wingers like it, and I'll censor myself on THAT topic). This is the 3rd quack I've had in a year. Reason morphine showed up the first time was because I had some aspirin with codeine I'd bought in Canada OVER THE FUCKING COUNTER, and morphine is a metabolite of codeine (so is hydrocodone, too). But was that written down anywhere? NOOOOOOO of course not. Shitbag cocksuckers. Of course, if I try to explain all this, I'm obviously a drug-seeking junkie, and I'll get turned loose. So one bites ones tongue, and does the obsequiousness shit, and pretends the quack fuck knows more than I do about chemistry (I taught these fucks, these pre-med dweeb punks, in Chemistry when they were trying to get through CHem 101 and 102. Schmuck fucks). All so I can get pain relief so I can live a normal life.

It's that cocksucker Nixon and his "War on People Who Use Drugs". I'll stop now, because I get so hot about this that I want to take it out on someone.

Before an orthopedist operated on me recently he had me read and sign a document explaining how inexact the practice of medicine was. I found the honesty  refreshing.

Nope...you did not musunderstand my question.  I didn't read close enough to see the BMJ
connection.  Thank you again...
