Postmodern Medicine with Dr Benway and Pseud Dionysius, MPH

My pseudonymous native informants from the illustrious realms of Science make the provocative case that medicine has become a quintessentially postmodern field. They attribute this development to the rise of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) in the 1990s in Canada, which has occasioned (as its pioneers intended) a Kuhnian paradigm shift in the field. After surveying the spread and impact of the EBM revolution, we explore its after-effects in the Covid era. https://www.bmj.com/content/359/bmj.j5676 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/1785467 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0141076816649883
