Doing stuff is easy, not doing stuff is hard, particularly if you’ve been doing it for a year. This isn’t just about smoking, drinking, and wild banjo playing on the porch at midnight, though we talk about it on the podcast (https://adc.bmj.com/content/111/5/457.2), but also echoed in an upcoming Editorial (https://adc.bmj.com/content/early/2026/04/03/archdischild-2026-330309).

If reality were alterable by waving your hand, do you think you might do it? If you’re intrigued, the work on X-rays for PICC-tips might enthrall you (https://adc.bmj.com/content/111/5/457.1) or just wave at people. See what happens. (Note, the ADC is not responsible for any adverse events if you do this in London rather than the North!).

This podcast is written and presented by Prof Bob Phillips (Hull-York Medical School, UK), Archimedes section editor of Archives of Disease in Childhood. He brings you the monthly episode about evidence-based medicine for paediatricians.

When is a trial not a trial? Can you make a big dataset work as if it was randomised? Can we really use real-world evidence rather than trial evidence for clinical decision-making? Read here: https://adc.bmj.com/content/111/4/373.2

The hardest decisions are those where the answer is truly complex, evolving and really involves an understanding of patient values and attitudes. This is a non-traditional Archimedes that attempts to address such a query with a fictional patient with long QT syndrome and a desire to go and do competitive sports. It needs to be read slowly and digested: https://adc.bmj.com/content/111/4/373.1

If you’ve got debris on a bladder ultrasound, that means there’s a UTI, doesn’t it? This month, we have a team of crack nephrologists looking in detail at floaty bits and bacteria being spotted by soundwaves: https://adc.bmj.com/content/111/3/283.1

We also bemoan the problem of wanting to smooth things out too quickly and make everyone do the same thing unnecessarily. Diversity and difference are sometimes a superpower! https://adc.bmj.com/content/111/2/193.2
