I've just been to two endocrinologists who gave me completely different diagnosis (they said different organs are the issue) Is this a sign endocrinology has no scientific rigor?
There is another explanation for the variation in therapy: different people respond well to different kinds of therapy. And it's really hard to tease this out by doing a randomized controlled trial, so this manifests in papers showing that most kinds of therapy work equally well (but potentially on different subsets of people)
- winternewt 3y agoI would attribute that to incompetent endocrinologists, but it's a fair point. It could just be a lot of bad therapists and not indicative of a problem with the science behind it. And yeah, randomized controlled trials work poorly for this field. Which I guess is an important reason why the science hasn't gotten very far.
