Science-Based Medicine

[The Atheist]

This site was mentioned in the SWIFT commentary, but I think it's worth starting a thread on it here and introducing it to a wider audience. It appears to be one of the best sceptical ideas for some time - a website based on the use of actual science in medicine, written by a superb team of doctors.

I see that one them - Harriet Hall, known as SkepDoc - is a member here but only posts at SC. (I'm assuming it's the same "SkepDoc" of the website, maybe one of the SCers can confirm that.)

Anyway, check it out, a great site and should be bookmarked by all sceptics with an interest in fighting "alternative" medicine and medical misinformation.

And if any of 'em are lurking here - Bloody Good Work!

Ah, thanks. I searched for "science based medicine" but of course it doesn't pick up urls.
