We Claim Zero Accuracy for All These Things
We claim zero percent accuracy for Treatment Scores™, Treatment Grades™,
SOM® scores, SOM® grades, and all other information on our website. It is cumbersome to mention all of these terms every time. So when we mention one of these terms our disclaimers go for all of them and any related items.
We claim 0% accuracy for Treatment Scores!
We claim zero percent accuracy for Treatment Scores™, Treatment Grades™, and Science of Medicine (SOM®) Scores and grades! Let us repeat that for emphasis, we loudly proclaim ZERO ACCURACY! Why do we make such an outrageous statement? It’s because we are trying to do the impossible. Quantifying the Science of Medicine behind medical treatments has always been thought to be impossible, because clinical decision-making is so complex. We claim zero accuracy, because in medicine every patient is different, every statistic is a flawed statistic in some way, there are always estimations, and there is always bad or missing data. Averages may be used and no patient is average, every patient is unique. There are also three averages: mean, median, and mode, and it may not be clear which one is best for any situation. Although, we claim ZERO accuracy, we intend for our processes to be highly educational. SEE YOUR OWN PHYSCIAN FOR TREATMENT. Because of the impossibility of our project, there are many things that we do NOT claim.
We DO NOT claim:
• We claim no accuracy at all, or 0% accuracy, for Treatment Scores™.
• We claim no accuracy at all, or 0% accuracy, for Treatment Grades™.
• We claim no accuracy at all, or 0% accuracy, for Science of Medicine (SOM®) Scores.
• We claim no health benefits whatsoever from using Treatment Scores™, Treatment Grades™, or Science of Medicine (SOM®) Scores, or the TreatmentScores.com website.
• We also do not endorse or make any claims about links to other websites from our websites.
• We do not create patient-physician relationships or patient-doctor relationships.
• We do not create doctor-patient relationships or physician-patient relationships.
• We do not create nurse-patient relationships.
• We do not create relationships between you and any other type of healthcare professional.
• We do not recommend any treatment, treatments, therapy, devices, medical providers, or any kind of medical professional to you.
• We cannot tell you if any treatment is safe.
• We cannot tell you if any treatment is FDA approved.
• We cannot tell you if any treatment has been deemed to be safe and/or effective by any other entity, public or private, or by any government institution. You must ALWAYS look up safety issues yourself, and discuss safety issues with your licensed medical professional, treating physician, or other medical professionals.
• Specifically, we cannot tell you if a treatment is safe for you in particular. Virtually every medical treatment and every medical drug in existence can be harmful if given to the wrong person.
• We cannot predict what will happen to you if you undergo any treatment. There is a very common phrase in medical disclaimers: “individual results may vary.” That is an understatement. One patient can be cured from a treatment while another patient can be killed from that same treatment. We make no claims because “individual results” may vary wildly! We cannot predict what will happen to you or anyone else.
• We cannot predict the future in any way. We cannot predict what will happen to you if you undergo any of the treatments mentioned by us, or mentioned anywhere on the Internet, and we cannot predict what would happen to anyone else. We are looking at what has happened in the past in the medical literature, and in other sources, we are not attempting to make claims about what would happen in the future.
• We do not claim to be as good as traditional medical review articles. In fact, we do not claim to be good or beneficial at all or in any way. We are something new and different, not necessarily better.
• You must see your own qualified physician or medical professional for your treatments.
• If you have an emergency you must dial 911 or otherwise get yourself to the emergency department.
• You must discuss everything with your physician or other qualified medical professionals.
We are a new way of writing medical review articles
We are a new way of writing medical review articles. We review the medical literature just like it has always been done; however, we organize the biostatistics in a new way, and we go through the education exercise of quantification, which adds a new wrinkle to the medical review. Since, we are writing medical review articles in a new way, we could possibly be less accurate than the old ways of doing things. Since we’re doing something considered impossible, and we’re doing it in a new way, we make no claims whatsoever about any possible medical benefit to you or anyone else.
Literature versus Real Life Clinical Experience
The medical literature often says one thing, while physicians in actual medical practice do something else. This is because clinical experience can outpace the scientific literature because publishing has a lag time. This can be good or bad. Clinicians may know more than the literature, or they may not be up to date on the medical literature, or they may be doing things because they have always been done that way. This is another reason we make no claims of accuracy when it comes to treatments.
Statistics
Our Treatment Scores™, Treatment Grades™, and SOM® Scores may have very large ranges, yet are summarized as one number. This is one more reason why we claim zero percent accuracy.
Treatment Definition & Follow-Up
Often the name for a treatment is confusing. There may be many synonyms or many treatments that have almost the same name, but are not exactly the same. This is another reason we claim zero percent accuracy. Users may mix up names. Sometimes treatments require follow-up. We cannot always know these things, or the terminology may mean different things to different people, thus we claim zero percent accuracy.
Safety
We cannot say if a treatment is safe for you or safe for anyone else. We cannot say if a treatment is FDA regulated or approved or not. Always see your own physician.
