Over the past years, techniques and practices employed to evaluate randomised controlled trials in the areas of biomedical and healthcare systems have come to play an increasingly important role in guiding and rationalizing clinical practice. Hailed as a pedagogical innovation and a new paradigm in medical education, assumptions, key features and perspectives of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) have nevertheless generated considerable controversy. Some of these controversial imagines concerning EBM and clinical epidemiology as factors of rationalization of medical practice and clinical decision-making, are shown here from the point of view of social science inquiry; special attention is given to Kahneman & Tversky, and the very well known critical review of rational choice theory.
