The Median Isn't the Message An essay by Stephen Jay Gould

"As far as I'm concerned, Gould's The Median Isn't the Message is the wisest, most humane thing ever written about cancer and statistics. It is the antidote both to those who say the "the statistics don't matter," and to those who have the unfortunate habit of pronouncing death sentences on patients who face a difficult prognosis. Anyone who researches the medical literature will confront the stastics for their disease. Anyone who reads this will be armed with reason and with hope."
