    Actually, the act of science needs better people talking about the studies, less greedy people deciding how the studies are presented, less insurance companies, less shitting on interns, and more promoting actual health. I had a friend ask a doctor about their 5 month cough and the doctor answered, “Well, what do you want me to do about it?” Oh I don’t know, maybe fuck off?

    Alternative medicine is cRaZY until healthcare finds a way to control it so they can make a shit ton of money off of it. Hippy magnets are found to actually change a persons thought patterns if you place them against your head in the right way, which makes me laugh my ass off. You now have hippy dippy light therapy being used by psychiatrists.

    I think it’s hilarious how much you guys fight this. If you just accepted that there are charlatans in every profession and chilled a bit, everyone would be much better off. Besides, even if it’s all bogus, why are you trying to take away the placebo effect from people? It’s still helping some of them.

      Now see, if you’d have kept your mouth shut instead of letting the diarrhea keep falling out, we’d all likely have come away thinking you were just ignorant instead of a complete idiot.
