Another great argument I have heard against EBM (or maybe rather against being religious about it) is that the studies and papers held to highest regard are made in circumstances that do not apply to most of healthcare: the studies might be done in the best hospitals like Johns Hopkins, with practically limitless human resources for the study, and very carefully selected patient groups. In a normal hospital situation you won’t have the time or the resources to dedicate the same care for each patient, and the patients might have other conditions (which would rule you out of the big studies). Still, as a layman who is not a doctor, evidence based medicine sounds like a good idea, but as with everything, taking it to extreme is probably harmful
