Hi Sareen and Julia,
I appreciated reading both of your perspectives on the issue of subjectivity of the reader (and prescriber's) lens. It is important to honestly and openly acknowledge the fact that many of us have own biases around certain medications or treatment regimens, for so many reasons. Perhaps we have had personal experiences with medications (either positive or negative), that may impact the way in which we present a particular medication to a patient. Additionally, it is not uncommon for someone to have a pre-established narrative around something and to look for things (when reading an article, for example) that may further support that narrative. In this case, as Sareen mentioned, our own pre-set biases around a certain medication may affect how we use literature to support that bias (or not). I agree with Sareen that reading more and more articles and practicing how to appraise them critically will be crucial in cultivating our capacity to be objective readers.
