Only 1 in 10 medical treatments are backed

When you visit your doctor, you might assume that the treatment they prescribe has solid evidence to back it up. But you’d be wrong. Only one in ten medical treatments are supported by high-quality evidence, our latest research shows.

Aye.  Prescribe the meds you've been paid to prescribe.  Such an honourable profession.

I find it very hard to believe that only 1 in 10 medications work. I've not been prescribed a lot over my life, but every time I have been given one it did exactly what it was supposed to.
