Watching the video – and, honestly, what were the odds there’d be video? — is like watching a disaster movie, the bridge crumbling slowly but unstoppably.

Why start this series with the RCT? RCTs are used to determine if one treatment is better than another. They are clinical experiments that provide medicine’s most reliable data. When there is a good RCT, one that can be generalized to a specific patient’s situation, there is no better guide. However, RCTs are far from perfect. Individually, their design may lead them to include important biases and not be generalizable.
