The post-modern assault on evidence-based medicine (December 7, 2007).

I sent a brief email to Michael Shermer, editor of Skeptic Magazine. In it, I included a brief pitch for an article. The title would be "The post-modern assault on evidence-based medicine" and would cover recent journal articles such as "Deconstructing the evidence-based discourse in health sciences: truth, power and fascism" Dave Holmes, Stuart J Murray, Am'lie Perron and Genevi've Rail. Int J Evid Based Healthc 2006; 4: 180'186. doi: 10.1111/j.1479-6988.2006.00041.x, which is available online at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/Pharmacology/dc-bits/holmes-deconstruction-ebhc-06.pdf.

He sounded interested, so now I have to flesh out a more detailed proposal. As with most of my other work, I will develop it here on the weblog.
