“Does any of this work?”…
…means different things to different folks.
To you and I, it means: “Do the long-term positive health effects outweigh the negative?”.
To the providers, it means: “Is it the cheapest action in the short term?”

* Short-term vs. long term.
* Patient outcomes vs. provider outcomes.
* Being seen to be doing something vs. actually doing something.
