Evidence-based medicine - or "EBM" which slips off the tongue more readily - seeks to offer proof that what we offer patients whenever we treat them is known to be effective. Fifty to 100 years ago, health care was delivered patchily, much less of it was effective, and was based on an image of a kindly and well intentioned doctor treating his sick patient, who was glad of whatever help could be offered.

Individual doctors cannot read everything that is published and cannot possibly synthesise what they do read, so that they are not always aware of what is proven to be effective and what probably is not.
