re: #192 Glenn Beck’s Grand Unifying Theory of Obdicut

The med school thing isn’t an example of a scientific revolution, it’s an example of a revolution that’s needed in how we teach science. That’s the kind of sadly amusing part— ‘evidence based medicine’, as in, only giving treatment when backed up by scientific evidence— is the absolutely accepted way to practice medicine. That doesn’t, however, mean we use ‘evidence based teaching’ of ‘evidence based medicine’. Therein lies the irony.

Anyway, it’s still ‘politics’ inside universities, just not politics with guns.

I know, I was mixing my metaphors. Sometimes academic fights are the most vicious (because there’s the least at stake, as they say.)

I do wish med schools/hospitals would pay attention to the science and let students get some sleep so they could learn efficiently.
