That's the definition of anecdotal.

No it's not! If it is a controlled study with specific percentages, it is very much statistical evidence.

*Edit: I thought of the wrong L and D (learning and development). A nurse's testimony is definitely still anecdotal if it is not a part of a rigorous scientific process.

Damn i misinterpreted the term L&D as learning and development, because I was in a field where that is what it means. You're absolutely right, Labour and Delivery nurses individual yestimonies would be anecdotal, it is very cut and dry.
