    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Jennifer Block

    She wrote a piece in @sciam that presented a cherry-picked selection of @DrJenGunter's statements without context in order to smear her. I don't want a world without journalists. But I think we should expect more of our journalists (@writingblock) and expand our expectations.https://twitter.com/writingblock/status/1201843315815133184 …

    I wrote a piece in @sciam that dared to say doctors aren't the *only* experts on women's bodies. I don't want a world without experts, not at all. But I think we should expect more of our experts (@DrJenGunter) and expand our notion of expertise.

        Replying to @gorskon @sciam and

        When a woman says "I am in pain" we should believe them. When I woman says I know more about gynecology than a doctor in the field, we should not. Jennifer is willfully confusing these two cases.

        Exactly. When a woman says, "My child showed signs of autism a week after a vaccine," I believe her. When she says that the vaccine caused her child's autism, I don't. There's a difference between the account of what happened and the interpretation of what caused it to happen.

        Agreed. That was a total smear job, written by someone upset that her place in the pantheon of women’s health books was being lost due to someone with better knowledge & better credentials

        She wrote a piece slamming Dr. Gunter but titled it Doctors, as in plural. Disingenuous.

        She speaks of "expand our notion of expertise"- surely she's aware that "expertise" does not equal "personal anecdotes without any scientific rigour"?

        Replying to @gorskon @sciam and

        I don't want a world without scientifically proven treatments, drugs and therapies. Expertise should require certain demonstrable knowledge and skills. Do you really want to live in a world where surgeons are trained only in surgery?

        We must put some blame on @sciam as well. They have a responsibility on what they choose to publish.
