False Positive Dalrymple Theodore
The New England Journal of Medicine is one of the most important general medical journals in the world. Many of its pronouncements are conveyed by the media to a mass audience, which is likely to take them as authoritative. Doctors rely on the conclusions it publishes, and most do not have the time to look beyond abstracts to examine methodology or question assumptions.
In False Positive, he demonstrates that many of the papers it publishes reach conclusions that are not only flawed, but obviously flawed. But is this trust entirely warranted?Theodore Dalrymple, a doctor retired from practice, turned a critical eye upon a full year of the Journal, alert to dubious premises and to what is left unsaid. He exposes errors of reasoning and conspicuous omissions apparently undetected by the editors.
In some cases, there is reason to suspect actual corruption.
