ORTEGA CALVO, Manuel CAYUELA DOMINGUEZ, Aurelio. Evidence-based medicine: a philosophical criticism of its use in primary care. []. , 76, 2, pp.115-120. ISSN 2173-9110.
A criticism is made of evidence-based medicine (EBM) based on the Frankfurt School works and on the shortcomings of the verification method. Despite these irregularities, we find EBM to still currently be a scientific paradigm in primary care, aiding in pursuing the utopian ideal both in rural areas as well as in undeveloped countries.
