Many third-party payers are now basing reimbursement on evidence-based medicine. Do you agree this is the best way to practice?

This is a trick question. The clich? that medicine is an art will always apply when judgement is necessary, not to mention the impact of a particular skill of a diagnostician or the technical prowess of someone doing procedures. But it is true that 'evidence-based medicine' is probably here to stay. Unfortunately, it is Gaussian and doesn't take into account the 'outliers' of the bell curve, for which thinking outside of the curve is indicated--the 'zebras' in medicine. You need to include something about that in your answer.
