24.2 Strangling the Bloody Cockerel with Ken Gillman, MD: RCTs are Imperfect

Join myself and Dr. Ken Gillman, MD, as we discuss the inherent problems with modern scientific research, and the lack of emphasis put on building critical thinking skills endemic to our academic institutions. In Part 2 of our conversation, we delve furtther into how research has been commandeered by industry and our over-reliance on Randomized Controlled Trials, or RCTs, at the expense of all other forms of evidence and research, has led us astray as a scientific community. Ken uses the hilarious example of strangling the 'cockerel' to illuminate the incompleteness in evaluating a cause and effect relationship between the rooster crowing and the sun coming up, as establishing the mechanism is paramount to connecting the effect to the cause. ENJOY!
