I think you a being silly. The core of your doctor-patient relationship should be you trust he has the knowledge and judgement to treat your condition in a professional and considered manner. If he does not understand the statistics, it should not be a concern as many primary practitioners are not specialists, especially arcane things like deriving standard deviation. Doctors are typically foremost clinicians, not chemists, mathematicians, grammar freaks, computer geeks etc... If you are not comfortable with your doctor, find another. Anyway, doctors should follow sound scientific principals in their treatment but should NOT treat on the basis of numbers alone. It is enough other trusted and respected specialists distil the relevant information and say "this is best practice in this situation". This is usually called CME (continuing medical education). Access to literature on the internet should allow you read up on whether the regimen you are on is reasonable or not. Be aware, you WILL find published articles FOR and AGAINST any kind of treatment in medical journals and the REAL skill is knowing the context and the clinical biases that can occur and whether a particular therapy is appropriate. Diseases or conditions rarely exist in total isolation or as a single entity. Doctors have enough on their daily plate without other concerns in other areas. We TRUST nurses will take accurate readings of temp, BP etc, we trust pharmacists will dispense correct dosage, we trust OT to sterilise equipment adequately and we trust EXCEL to do SD. So???

Ah, yes well... how much is your time worth? It gets tedious pretty quick trying to find something very specific and to avoid all the rubbish on P2P. Not that I've used allofmp3.com (I find itunes mostly painless), I think the main attraction is the convenience of it all.... a universally accessible source of music (over the web), in a universally portable/playable format with a (mostly) universally accepted form of payment (and cheap, of course).... Sometimes you just want to sample some music to see if you like it,... without wanting to feel ripped off if it really isn't to your taste, and without all the cloak'n'dagger crap.
