Evidence-Based Medicine Poem by Nandhagopal Ramachandiran

Modern age treats scores of illness

Looking hard at the chance of wellness,

Touching perhaps the outcome effect

With odds and hazard interval-perfect,

Lest the chance observations blur and blind

The vision of the casual mind!



(Armed with the statistics)

A case in point for the practicing hand,

Look in and out of the inclusion band

And listen to the sermon of the land:

For those features that fit the bill,

Let the effect size drives the care!

And for those that don't fulfill,

Clutch at the wisdom that we share!
