Excellent blog linked from the birdog: crookedtimber.org
I may not agree with everything on this article, but it makes a good read regarding the manipulation of evidence based medicine to get "policy-based evidence making", the discussion is good as well.
Another good article on Crookedtimber.org (via Boing Boing) dealt with the ongoing scandal at Elsevier... to summarize, basically Elsevier put together several psuedo-journals that were basically a collection of articles favoring pharma companies and given legitimate sounding titles such as "The Australasian Journal of Bone and Joint Medicine". More details at the Gaurdian. Are we surprised to see Merck involved with these schenanigans?
Oh yeah, first anatomy lab/full week of medical school posting coming sooon....
