I have a  friend who is a family practice doc--she teaches integrative 
medicine--she  said that the worst thing, in her opinion, that has happened to 
medicine in  the past 10 years has been "EBM". Like me, she sees it as an 
excuse to narrow  possibilities and exercise control over non-allopathic 
practices, even though  that was never its intention. There are many, many MDs 
crying foul on this  issue, too.

I know the subject line was "evidence-based medicine" but it took me over  
15 paragraphs into this email to figure out that EBM was not referring to  
Expressed Breast Milk. :)
I thought we were discussing evidence around expressed milk being "just as  
good" as direct nursing and the culture around pumping. Oops. Maybe we need 
to  always define a term in the body of the email before abbreviating, or 
maybe I'm  just dense. I will concede the second easily, believe me, with no  
problem.)
 
Peace,
Judy
