Who Paid for the Study Is the Beginning of the Question, Not the Answer
If someone tells you a study “proves” something, here’s my question:
Who paid for it?
Not because industry-funded research is automatically wrong. It isn’t.
But because funding is only the beginning of evaluating a study, not the end. You also have to ask who designed it, what question it actually answered, what it didn’t answer, and whether people are using it to support claims it never studied.
Too often in healthcare, people skip all of that and jump straight to the headline.
If you care about evidence, you should care about the entire story behind the evidence.
I break down exactly how to critically evaluate research and why this matters for every clinician, not just anesthesia.
