Anecdotage may be associated with age

Chris Hudson 1
PMCID: PMC314084

Editor—With reference to Aronson's filler,1 I thought that anecdotage was the tendency of ageing doctors to say “I don't care what the evidence is, the way I've always done it is best.”

Competing interests: I am now 40 and am concerned that I may be prone to anecdotage.
