8/10 and have to disagree with the general thread.

We seem to forget the three components of Evidence Based Practice:
- Best available external evidence.
- Be applicable to the patient or situation at hand.
- Involve clinician's experience and expertise.
Sacket et al described this somewhere (I think around 1998 but I'll have to look it up).

So understanding when the research findings do and don't apply is crucial, meaning understanding the research and our patients clinical findings at the same time. Only then will we be able to avoid the pigeon holing type scenario that compensable bodies might try for in an inaapropriate situation.
