      The saddest part is that this is all incredibly expensive. These people do not look rich Quacks have scammed them out of enormous sums of money, which is heartbreaking

      Not as much quackery this episode for him, although some odd oxymorons in his disease state. He's super-duper sensitive to light, but opening the curtains is totally fine? Very strange

      Another important point: most of these people have simply put their faith in quacks They spend enormous sums on these treatments because someone who knows nothing at all about the issue has convinced them they work

      I feel so sad for that person. Example of how medical opinions are powerful interventions. Should be evidence based & given by someone actually knowledgeable

      It's just so obvious that she's been failed by the medical community somewhere and is instead being 'treated' by scam artists So depressing

          Agree. Had a sad case where a patient's disease advanced to terminal bc they were seeing a quack. I'll never forget it
