Abstract
Evidence-based medicine (EBM) was and is all the rage in medicine and the ‘new way‘ to practice and teach medicine in our century. The term ‘evidence-based medicine was coined in 1992 by scientists at the McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario. Today it is the established method in medicine, at least in what is called ‚allopathic‘ or ‚conventional‘ medicine and the term is by now part of the very fabric of medicine and of medical knowledge.
