You forgot to mention Manny Rivers and the "data driven" Surviving Sepsis with the subsequent "lactate police" and the the hundreds of thousand of unnecessary central lines we were forced to foist on our patients when at the end of the day, the multi-million $$$ initiative could be summarized with this: "Hey, if you have sick elderly people who look bad and have a low blood pressure in the waiting room, maybe you should bring them to the back sooner!" Great work, John
I only had so much space. The converse is also true. Sunshine and social connection is probably more important than many recommendations but they don't have a CPT or $$ attached. Therefore, those data don't exist and no one is going to fund a study.
