Ep. 57 Neither Fisher nor Bayes: The Limits of Statistical Inference

This is a show for all those who love medicine but have grown weary of this vast boondoggle called the health care system.  We produce an episode once a week and we regularly bring in guests that we put on the hot seat.  We discuss current topics in medical science, policy, economics, and ethics, always with an eye toward safeguarding the doctor-patient relationship.  We bring fresh, provocative insights that resonate with physicians in the trenches who are determined not to let their passion for medicine be ground to a pulp.
