>Whether evidence is easy or hard to gather is a red herring. No it's not, it's incredibly relevant. How can you take an evidence-based approach to newborn and infant care when no studies have been done? How do you run studies ethically on infants who can't give consent? Are you willing to subject a baby to an untested delivery procedure, that could potentially go very very wrong, or would you rather stick with the devil you know? >Patients present a body of evidence. Small or large, that evidence is what doctors and machines both use to generate diagnoses. The places where machines have the potential to excel is situating the evidence within a broader universe of evidence. Such was my point; that a human doctor or nurse, supplemented with computer analysis, will inevitably be a better care provider than either human or computer alone.
