چکیده
Today, evidence-based medicine (EBM) is proposed as the “natural” way of thinking and practicing medicine. Although it has been questioned with several arguments (little humanist, elitist, disdainful of experience, functional to the health commerce, etc.), criticism has not moved its structure. EBM was born at the beginning of the nineties; it is undoubtedly the dominant thought in today’s medicine. However, the immense distortions of the medical practice and the discomfort of medicine are more clearly perceived. The reflection about virtues and limitations of EBM in order to contribute to the discussion about medicine values and its significance is very important.
