Knew a professor statistics from a world renowned institution. He worked in nephrology for 10-20 years and would tell many stories about the worst practices he's seen and researchers pushed him to allow.
Medicine was among the worst if not the worst according to him. Didn't really want much to do with it anymore. Basically a case of subpar statistical knowledge and bad incentives.
How can you tell when you are reading a paper?
The author list will show "M.D." instead of (or in addition to) "Ph.D.". The paper terminology will be skewed towards medical terms.
