To be honest, I think they are trying to make a "thing" where in day to day practice, and both in academic centers and in the private practice realm, I haven't really seen much distinction. Most physicians I know are aware of the major studies, and debate with colleagues and amongst themselves regarding efficacies and appropriateness of treatments. In so much that yes, there are variations between different practitioners and schools of thought, but I haven't seen a binary line in the sand saying "this is conservative medicine" vs. "this is liberal medicine". There is "conservative vs. aggressive" medicine, which is more based on individual wishes of patients and familes, and also, well, "current" practices versus "out of date" ones that have fallen out of favor due to new research and data, for sure, but to color/frame it on political conservatism vs. liberalism is a bit of a stretch.
