Oh, please. I try to protect patients from quackery. @LiamBartlett9 apparently didn't actually read my post, which explains in detail what's wrong with his @60Mins story, how he used a token skeptic for "false balance," & how it was an infomercial for a quack stem cell clinic. 1?https://twitter.com/LiamBartlett9/status/1032795789351899136 …

Worse,
@LiamBartlett9 didn't bother to tell us just how much the family was spending to take their daughter to this quack clinic, nor did it make it clear just how implausible the treatment was. or how little scientific background Dr. Ramirez has. 8/Show this thread -
He also didn't mention just how lax regulation of stem cell treatments is in Mexico. I discussed this in depth in a post about the dubious stem cell treatment used to treat hockey legend Gordie Howe for his stroke. 9/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/01/02/about-gordie-howes-miraculous-recovery-after-stem-cell-treatment-in-mexico/ …

May I suggest that
@LiamBartlett9 get over himself and actually consider why scientists like myself and@pknoepfler were so appalled by his story last Sunday? I doubt that he will, but hope springs eternal. 10/10Show this thread
