It’s tricky to do balancing sometimes, and while you might not immediately think of it, a door can sometimes open your way to a new way of considering stuff as we talk about, but you can read about too: https://adc.bmj.com/content/109/12/1036.2 Then there’s something we often do think about.

Archives of Disease in Childhood's Archimedes section editor, Dr Bob Phillips (York District Hospital, UK) brings you the monthly episode about evidence-based medicine for paediatricians: Fairly frequently we who are sub-, or sub-sub- specialised will look at some research which we don’t want to agree with and say “But it doesn’t apply to My Special Darlings!”.
