In this section, Dr. Gillman talks about the origins of Randomized Controlled Trials and illuminates why we should be skeptical of 'so-called' Evidence-Based Medicine.  We also discuss why anecdotal data, or anec-data, aka deriving clinical practice recommendations and guidelines from our own experiences with patients and the drugs we prescribe them, is so important to developing as a good, effective prescribing clinician.
