It is surely obvious that medicine, like any other rational activity, must be based on evidence. The interest is in the details: how exactly are the general principles of the logic of evidence to be applied in medicine? Focussing on the development, and current claims of the ‘Evidence-Based Medicine’ movement, this article raises a number of difficulties with the rationales that have been supplied in particular for the ‘evidence hierarchy’ and for the very special role within that hierarchy of randomized controlled trials (and meta-analyses of the results of randomized controlled trials). The point is not at all to question the application of a scientific approach to evidence. | COLONIAL MEDICINE JAMESTOWN-YORKTOWN FOUNDATION TABLE OF CONTENTS Colonial Medicine Introduction Page 1 Background Information Science and Medicine in Colonial America Page 2 Treating An Army Page 7 Pre-Visit Activities Vocabulary List Page 9 Medical Mystery Crossword Page 10 Searching For Cures Page 11 Answer Key Page 12 Examine the Doctors Kits Page 13 Herbals Page 17 Write a Class Herbal Grow an Herb Garden Nature Walk to Collect Herbs Annotated Herbal Listing Historical Uses of Herbs Page 18 Post-Visit Activities Importing Cures Page 20 Dramatize the Difference Page 22 Bleeding A Calculated Concern Page 23 The Surgeon s Journal Page 24 Using the Video -- Colonial Medicine Prescriptions from the Past Page 25 Science in Colonial America Page 25 Health Care in the 18th Century Page 26 Two Recipes from the 18th Century Page 28 Bibliography Page 30 Teacher Evaluation Page 31 The Colonial Medicine program and this curriculum packet were developed with an Education for Economic Security Title II Grant in conjunction with the York County Public Schools York County Virginia.
