I agree. The amount of info out there published and on the net is vast, a discerning clinician may use it like these podcast docs, to open dialogue with other clinicians and researchers in order to share data in emerging research and learn from one another's experience. The "art" of medicine includes being open to new therapies beyond the standard guidelines, though it's still important to critically examine them and sift truths out of all the garbage that floats on the internet. I trust a doc who has an evidence-based practice yet is still willing to take risks and trial new ideas when traditional therapies (ex. Food pyramid) are mostly ineffective. Secondly, patients are educating themselves and learning how to ask questions. Medicine is more of a partnership between clinician and patient than it used to be.
