Not directly related but adjacent - I get very twitchy when people talk about “building the evidence base”. In itself, innocuous and unarguable - but context is everything and can be a red flag when talking about an intervention that they support (and have already decided works).

Been wrestling with this at the journal for years. My experience is that there is a deep rooted fundamental assumption amongst doctors that patients’ stories are theirs to share/tell.
