Abstract
In January 2007 the British Medical Journal contacted an online poll of its readers, and evidence-based medicine (EBM) was ranked seventh among the 15 most important milestones that shaped modern medicine. These 15 milestones included such things as the introduction of antibiotics, immunization, sanitation, and radiology.1 A Google search today on websites pertaining to anything evidence-based will be in the millions.Keywords
