How misunderstanding the principles and limitations of evidence-based medicine may discredit the concept

The discussion on the methodological limitations of the quasi- measurement of human feelings and sensations, started by the author in the journal Neurology bulletin, continues. There are a number of reasons for accepting/rejecting and understanding the principles and limitations of clinical epidemiology/evidence-based medicine (EBM) to the point of deliberate distortion. It is shown that the ideas of freedom and creativity in medicine, are ways of avoiding control and the realization of biopower. A concrete example, the study of the efficacy of antidepressants, shows how it is possible, either unintentionally or intentionally, to obtain a false result without following the principles and tenets of EBM.
