“I am an IM resident interested in oncology. I’ve been listening to this podcast for a few years now, and it is the best medical podcast I have ever heard. I have learned more about EBM and the critical evaluation of research by listening here, than from all the lectures I received in Med school and subsequently. This is partly a reflection of the paucity of hard-hitting instruction in traditional curricula on how to be a research critic, and largely a credit to VP and his iconoclastic obsession with pursuing good science. We need more strident research critics in his mold, and fewer industry-enamored cheerleaders. His destruction of the flawed parachute analogy and insistence that most of biomedicine is of marginal to moderate effect size, if any, has changed my perspective for all time. This podcast is sobering, incisive, and inspirational. Every doctor and provider should listen, and future FDA officials and other government officials should be required to undergo tutelage with VP prior to filing their posts. The world needs more of this sharp thinking.”
