I find the NNT ("number needed to treat") statistic interesting when reading any medical studies. It's fraught with the same 'fuzziness' that a lot of statistics related to human health are inherently but, in cases where a drug has a lot of adverse side effects, it's a measure of how many people who wouldn't benefit from it anyway are being exposed to them. I think doctors should tell patients the NNT stat when prescribing such drugs.
