  1. @agahran Not trying to win any arguments, unless you count "the plural of anecdote is not data."
  2. Why "but I was saved by a mammogram" doesn't make sense statistically http://bit.ly/6PRZD7 RT @KentBottles @busopps #nyuscreen #cunyscreen
  3. @gfry @EvidenceMatters Airhead isn't how I'd describe them either, for reasons @EvidenceMatters, plus difficult to engage them after that.
  4. @gfry If COI is purely financial, yes. But IMO COI is more broad than $. And patients argued against USPSTF, not just COI-d docs.
  5. @gfry I think I see what you're saying, but I think it also depends how you define COI. Not only financial.
  6. @LizScherer @ePatientDave Sure, each case is different. But emotions, stubbornness, and COI are not unique to doctors.
  7. @ePatientDave @LizScherer Absolutely, engagement is way to go. But patients likely to fall prey to emotions/COI too, like health care wrkrs.
  8. @LizScherer Hmm, sounds like another case of groups with conflicts of interest rejecting others' evidence-based conclusions.
  9. Women given hormone replacement therapy to protect heart, even after landmark 2002 study showing it didn't work http://bit.ly/61NW2D

  13. @RachelSenatore Thanks, will take a listen. Left the WNYC listening area after class last night!
  14. Congrats to my former colleagues at @TheScientistLLC on continuing their FOLIO Eddie awarding-winning run http://bit.ly/69Zma6
  15. Very illuminating: NYT's David Leonhardt on where health care reform bill has room for cost savings http://bit.ly/50wWCR (via @ezraklein)
  16. Just to be clear, the Turfucken is @wendypedia's meal, not mine, thankfully!
  17. Words fail me (and Thanksgiving) RT @wendypedia I am making a vegetarian turducken using Tofurky - i.e. a Turfucken
  18. RT @FakeAPStylebook: Use the term "free-range turducken" only if the turkey has eaten both the duck and the chicken.
  19. We need genomics to plan meal courses? RT @j_perkel @EdwardWinstead @phylogenomics Close to fully sequenced Tday dinner http://bit.ly/4YAVX7
