Your thoughts have been transformational in my family medicine training. Thank you for teaching the art of skepticism.
Hard not to be cynical at times. But I’m hopeful that the collective desire for truth will, with persistent effort, steer research practices, incentive structures, and clinical practice guidelines in better directions.
Thanks John. You've done a great job of advancing how we all approach the medical literature and how that knowledge should be applied to patient care. Well Done!
I always appreciate your efforts to stray away from cynicism. It's palpable at times. I think this not only is good for your own mental well being, but it helps learners like me focus on staying objective, rather than viewing everything from a cynical lens, which in itself is another potential for bias.

I really enjoy your articles and others responses to them.
It is definitely thought provoking to read your thoughts and comments by others.
I am always open to learning through listening and introspection...
Thanks for the kind comments. I agree with you 100% that we need lots of skepticism as we read any study!
Amen
