[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]oh, and another thing I noticed - Bloodwork is much more a part of routine care with children in Europe
Than in the US. because omg the child is going to scream!![/quote]

Where is the evidence that supports routine pediatric labwork, above what is recommended by the AAP?

Citation, please, or I'm going to side-eye you for preferring to make children scream for no good reason, just because you seem to like it.[/quote]

this is exactly the problem - you have no clinical judgment, you just rely on guidelines and research like the rest of us. so what exactly is the point of having a doctor - unless you are a surgeon you just go online to read the same stuff we do, you showed as much yourself.

and for your “evidence” perhaps you should read the paper “why most research findings are false”. at least a half research findings is not replicable.[/quote]

"Not replicable" does not mean "false." It means that an experiment using the same parameters was unable to reach the same conclusion, not that the original researcher was falsifying data. "Not replicable" usually means "more research is warranted."

Also, most decent physicians - not just surgeons - subscribe to multiple medical journals, do yearly retrainings, attend conferences, and the like. They're not out there Googling stuff. And national standards of care do not substitute for individual judgment calls, and national associations never claim that they do.

Seriously: why do you think physicians even attend medical school, if there's nothing to learn that can't also be learned by Joe Schmoe with a wifi connection? [/quote]
