This is going to happen as a by-product of doing surgery. Can't be avoided.

On a case by case basis it can't. But I was talking about entire protocols, like blood letting.

But I don't think physicians, generally, recommend surgeries THEY DON'T BELIEVE are effective.

I'm sure those who practiced blood letting truly believed in it. Some did it because it was impressive and respected and paid well. Neither means it was effective.

But you cannot expect the entire medical community to drop everything and change its method of treatment just because a study suggests it should.

Not one study, maybe, but after a series of studies, damn straight.
