    Agreed, the article has a weird confrontational prose that left me confused, scared and wondering if I was doing to right thing with my mailing lists. Good bit of link bait I guess but not a constructive article.

    The same can be said for many professions, certainly my own (programming) you should learn the basics and best practices before you can know when it is okay to break them. And like singing or painting it can come down to personal preference

    I was talking about over diagnosis which is anecdotally an issue and is the conclusion the authors of this study drew.

    Nice. The first study I've heard of of it's type and it confirms the anecdotal evidence I've been reading about for years! Hope there are a few more studies like this around so doctors sit up and pay attention (pun unintended).

    Yeah searching for a specific location throws up "Anywhere" listings. If I am searching for jobs in a specific location I want to work in that location. Could be taken both ways so perhaps the ability to disable "Anywhere" jobs?
