However, physicians do not always follow them, even when they seem to apply to the particular patient they have to treat. This phenomenon, known as \u003ci\u003eclinical inertia,\u003c\/i\u003e represents a significant obstacle to the efficiency of care and a major public health problem, the extent of which is demonstrated in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn analysis of its causes shows that it stems from a discrepancy between the objective, essentially statistical nature of evidence-based medicine on the one hand and the physician’s own complex, subjective view (referred to here as “medical reason”) on the other. This book proposes a \u003ci\u003ecritique of medical reason \u003c\/i\u003ethat may help to reconcile the principles of evidence-based medicine and individual practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author is a diabetologist and Professor of Endocrinology, Diabetology and Metabolic Diseases at Paris 13 University.
