And another article along the same lines:
“Lies, Damned Lies, and Medical Science
Much of what medical researchers conclude in their studies is misleading, exaggerated, or flat-out wrong. So why are doctors—to a striking extent—still drawing upon misinformation in their everyday practice? Dr. John Ioannidis has spent his career challenging his peers by exposing their bad science.”

I think the obvious takeaway from these articles and papers is that a degree of healthy skepticism is warranted by patients and doctors.
