The Fallacy of Evidence Based Research
Nipawin - May 18, 2001 - by: Mario deSantis, reviewed by James deSantis
	If the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts--Albert Einstein
ultimate dementia	Timothy Shire's concise introduction to my yesterday's write-up "The Herd Mentality of
	our health researchers" states that it points out the trend for evidence based researchers
	to demand restructuring of restructuring of restructuring of restructured health care. This
	is the state of ultimate dementia of our sacred health care leadership: the demand of more
	money for health evidence based research on behalf of our Big Brains and against the
	intelligence of people at large.
more research	In Saskatchewan, the health evidence based research is located primarily in Saskatoon in
	the Big Brains of the Health Services Utilization and Research Commission(1) (HSURC).
	These Big Brains have been brightened up by the unidirectional source of light issued by
	Saskatoon's Synchrotron and are demanding more money and more money to shed further
	new light on how to fix the machinery of health care in Saskatchewan, Canada and the
	World. Big Brain Laurie Thompson says that the Saskatoon's Synchrotron is a prime
	example on how to help secure federal money, and he wants to help secure more funding
	so that his evidence based outfit can provide a better research infrastructure which would
	trigger more research as more time freed up from teaching and patient-care duties(2).
sacred cause and cows	Health care internationally renowned gurus include Steven Lewis, Michael Decter,
	Michael Rachlis, Robert Evans, Morris Barer, Greg Stoddart, and so many others(3).
	These gurus all agree that the future of Canada's health care must be in further evidence
	based health research and they all agree that the past health care restructuring has been
	beneficial to the sacred cause and cows of Canada's health care.
more money	These researchers not only are proponents for maintaining the legislative principles of
	Canadian public health care, but they want more and more money for research so that
	people can navigate better in the systemic storm of health care restructuring of restructuring
	of restructuring of restructured health care(4).

1. - - - - - - - -	Health Services Utilization and Research Commission (HSURC) HSURC is an arm's-length, government-funded agency with a mandate to assess Saskatchewan's health system and make recommendations for evidence-based change. We are also the provincial health research granting agency. HSURC was established by the province through an order-in-council in February 1992. HSURC now has its own provincial legislation, The Health Services Utilization and Research Commission Act, which received royal assent from Saskatchewan's lieutenant-governor on June 2, 1994. Our legislation empowers us to do utilization research in addition to carrying on the granting agency mandate inherited from the Saskatchewan Health Research Board. http://www.hsurc.sk.ca/about/index.php3
