What's the difference between a Doctor and a Librarian

In an ideal world, we would have research that actually studies everything, every variable, every possible scenario and then helps you know conclusively what will work and what will definitely not work. The problem is that research studies really don’t work out that way. There’s almost never a study that shows that something is 100% effective for everybody, all of the time, given all of the variables that can go into a patient’s given circumstances. When you’re a runner, that’s even way more complicated because you don’t just get injured and want to heal a specific injury like a metatarsal stress fracture or Achilles’s tendonitis. You want to run. You don’t want to just heal the thing, you want to run. You want to heal it as quickly as possible, so you can keep running. And you want to figure out why the injury happened in the first place so it doesn’t happen again. Unfortunately, there are many doctors who hide behind their stack of research  articles and they don’t really help you understand what the real possibilities are for you. When you’re a runner you have to look at every possibility. In this podcast episode we’re talking about the difference between a doctor and a librarian.
