Prasad saw an opportunity to take his health policy work and apply it into government action.
I think the central question that animates Dr.
Prasad's work is what I've sort of written below in our notes is that how do we ensure medical decisions are made by good and reliable evidence in a time
Time of widespread excitement and innovation.
And I think that's a question that very much animates his work precisely because he's in hematology and oncology, a field that prides itself in doing a lot of research and having a lot of hope when they encounter diseases that seem impossible to treat.
And so I think he sees this political opportunity.
He joins in as someone who's not necessarily part of the red tribe per se.
Say he goes in
And he faces challenges and controversies and he's told many times to his audience and to his personal friends that he can't keep his mouth shut and he likes to be i iconoclastic.
That can lead him astray.
Yeah, and to add to what you're saying, one of the medical treatments naturally change across time.
That is just a testament when you just look at medical history.
But Dr.
Sifu and Dr.
Prasad, who were the co-authors on that paper, argued that the manner by which we change the treatment really matters.
Like you're pointing out, Dr.
Harrell, re reversals are where we said there is a treatment that we thought worked and
We told people it worked.
We did it as if it worked, but we found out it didn't, and maybe it even harmed.
That has much more consequences that are negative for public health trust, for changing physician practice because of this practice or this evidence to action gap.
