That's old, but one of the best articles ever published because it points out some of our hypocrisy in touting evidence based medicine when we often do things based upon simple unquantified experience. There is also no study proving that ventilators save lives (though they obviously do), which is the point of this article.

BMJ publishes some tongue in cheek papers from time to time, and it's a refreshing dose of reality against a backdrop of "the newest, most expensive drug is 1% better".

Edit: this is a follow on to an old British Medical Journal paper with a fun twist. The old paper was mocking the fact that nobody would do this study.
