While MDs seemingly base their actions on science, there is unfortunately all too much reliance on personal experience and ‘intuition’, which may or may not be empirically justified. Even with all that, there’s a reason that we in IT still use the expression “wave a dead chicken” with only some ironic intention when confronted by a difficult problem.

Most people dont care about the disease but they want to know simple steps of what to do in order to make it better. As an industry we seem to have a tendancy to all think we are treating other doctors who want to know the gory details when a compasionate and calm bed-side manner is whats really needed.
