The Statin Wars Expose 2 Factions in Medicine

" The fight between Britain’s two major medical journals is like the recent spat between the leave and remain camps in Brexit "

"The statin war asks medicine’s most primal question – what is the role of medicine in society?"

"It is a war between two movements in medicine, which itself has become a religion with the physician as its high priest. Medicine is divided into two sects. One is the less-is-more movement.

One emphasizes medicine’s limitations, the other medicine’s possibilities. One is short-sighted, the other can stare only at the horizon. One is too willing to press the brake, the other ever eager to press the accelerator. One seeks redemption in data; the other seeks salvation in venture capitalists.
