I used to view the world
As a place where I gave the word
It had the feeling of eminence
But then along came evidence
I used to give advice
See disarray in my patient's eyes
I listened to the companies sing
"Now the old drug is dead! We got a new thing!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my practice stands
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear the evidence bells a ringing
Systematic reviews are singing
Clinical evidence is the maxim
NNTs are now my passion
For some reason I can't explain
Clinical studies are in my brain
Always an honest word
Now it's how I view the world
The beauty of forest plots
Who knew they were more than dots
Confidence intervals show the light
I can figure out wrong from right
Relative numbers they can wait
I want absolute numbers on my plate
Values and preference
Really make all the difference
I hear the evidence bells a ringing
Systematic reviews are singing
Clinical evidence is the maxim
NNTs are now my passion
For some reason I can't explain
Clinical studies are in my brain
Always an honest word
Now it's how I view the world
I hear the evidence bells a ringing
Systematic reviews are singing
Clinical evidence is the maxim
NNTs are now my passion
For some reason I can't explain
Clinical studies are in my brain
Always an honest word
Now it's how I view the world
