Marketing Disguised as Science Embarrasses Everyone Involved

"The key timing feature was that patient outcomes were measured two years before physicians took the LKA."

You can't make this stuff up?! So ridiculous.

The whole premise is ridiculous, and the study itself is riddled with so many flaws and bizarre assumptions that it probably shouldn’t have been published.

My beef here isn’t just with ABIM - it’s that a journal like JAMA would even accept such a problematic article for publication. IMO that makes them complicit in ABIM’s marketing nonsense.

And also makes me question everything else I read in a JAMA journal.
