My Best Ratio, So Far

Marginal Revolution has the smartest commentariate I've seen anywhere.  I did pretty well on this one...


4. Why do doctors follow medical advice less often?

5. Prophets of ChatGPT.  And prophets of @sama.

4) Medicine is very conservative: If the guideline says X, then a doctor has every incentive to say to a patient, follow X: Maybe X is less than ideal, but nobody will blame the doctor if the outcome is poor--they followed the guideline, end of story. For the doctor and the doctor's family, they have personal skin in the game and they aren't the official physician of the patient; so they will go with their judgement, instead of feeling like they are forced to follow guidelines.
