Medicine: What works, what doesn't and why there's so much of the latter

My Sunday article examined why there's so much medicine being practiced in the U.S. that's either unproven or ineffective, and what it's costing us in lives and health-care dollars. Feel free to discuss it here. (Coincidentally, the Wall Street Journal's health blog has two articles on that subject today -- one on the painkiller Vioxx, now withdrawn from the market, and one on cellulite treatments).
