Significant variations in medical treatments, even within the same state, challenge the belief that medical care is primarily based on science.
In this episode, Dr. Rita Redberg, a Professor of Medicine at UCSF Health, examines the belief that medical care is based primarily on science by discussing significant variations in treatment practices and advocating for evidence-based medicine. In her "Less is More" series in JAMA Internal Medicine, she aims to improve test readability and effectiveness. Throughout this interview, Dr. Redberg discusses the US Preventive Services Task Force's controversial mammography guidelines and the potential harms of over-testing, underscoring the importance of high-quality, unbiased evidence and rigorous FDA approval processes for new medical devices and drugs. She also addresses issues like unnecessary procedures motivated by fear of litigation or financial incentives and strongly calls for removing conflicts of interest from scientific trials and enhancing NIH funding to promote independent research.
