"Evidence-based medicine is supported by the literature, and being current with the literature should be your expectation of me. However, for the outliers under the bell curve, any thinking physician must not be afraid of considering other legitimate indications for atypical diagnostic or procedural protocols, if that is what's best for the patient. Luckily, in cardiology, the status quo of what is recommended is usually very well established. As someone who closely follows the literature in my specialty, I am confident that I am following the evidence-based protocols."
