Episode 77: Debating Evidence-Based Medicine in the COVID-19 Era

This is a MUST LISTEN. I took a back seat as the host and gave the microphone to Dr. Saurabh Jha, one of our favorite guests and who is a sophisticated radiologist in Pennsylvania. He was the guest host for this episode that featured Adam Cifu, MD, internist in Chicago, and Michel Accad, MD, cardiologist in San Francisco, as they debated how much evidence is needed for interventions during COVID-19. Does a short time frame to act calls for less scientific rigor in supporting interventions, and the reliance on RCTs vs other means of information. Do we need studies for masks? I won’t tell you; you’ll need to listen to this lively debated.
