Homeopathic Surgeon saves Trump's life.

[HuckleB]

Hey, he's really smart and good at surgery, and he informed Trump that he saved the Donald's life. So it must be true.

Trump has decided to make the homeopath the US' next Surgeon General.

1. I thought it said 'sturgeon" I was going to be impressed

[HuckleB]

2. That would have been more likely, though.

9. A sturgeon would have let him go. Just for the halibut. nt

[LeftishBrit]

23. You make me think of Nicola Sturgeon, leader of the Scottish Nationalists

She is quite left-wing; and the chances that she'd want to save Trump's life are pretty minimal, I'd say!

3. Took an ice cube, diluted it by 10^60th, to cure shrinkage?

Cold causes shinkage, a 10^60th dilution of an ice cube should be the cure for "Small Hands".

4. Trump did say he loves the poorly educated.

I thought his hair piece was some kind of advanced life support device keeping him permanently orange and angry.

[gratuitous]

5. On purpose?

Seems like there should be an indictment in there somewhere.

[HuckleB]

10. The thought of a scalpel diluted via 10 to the x nightmares.

It has saved Donny at least three times, according to The Dilution Times.

6. Is this from The Onion?

8. Do we really need more anti-vax, maple syrup-mushroom based cures?

I think not. People actually die when they take homeopathy to the extreme.

11. Consumer Reports: Thousands of US Doctors on probation for gross incompetence & malfeasance

Shocking report in the May 2016 edition of Consumer Reports:

I know certain entities are having a fine time with their regularly scheduled bout of Hippie Punching homeopathy. But, if one can stop flinging poo at alternative health for a few seconds, one would be astonished to learn that THE REAL DANGER is not alternative medicine, but so-called medical science.

VERBATIM QUOTE FROM CONSUMER REPORTS:
"Thousands of doctors across the U.S. are on medical probation for reasons including drug abuse, sexual misconduct, and making careless - sometimes deadly - mistakes.

"But they are still out there practicing.

OK, You may now consume your prescribed doses of Corporate Chemical Pharmaceuticals* and return to your regularly scheduled episode of Hippie Punching alternative medicine.

* Corporate industrial drugs may lead to halitosis, impotence, gastric distress, barfing, cancer, kidney failure and dementia.

[HuckleB]

12. Aww. You just can't refrain from supporting your beloved snake oil companies.

[AxionExcel]

13. Some folks can't refrain from DIVERTING ATTENTION from the real problems

like industrial-chemical-pharmaceutical GMO crap food and the chronic diseases they foster, or the sickening proliferation of chemical-pharmaceutical side-effect inducing DRUGS prescribed by medical technicians. And so those folks routinely and systematically attack clean, organic food, or complementary health practices in an effort to make it seem as though that's the real problem.

Pretty twisted diversionary BS, eh? Go figure.

15. Here's something for you to mull over.

Perhaps you remember when scientists debunked homeopathy in 2002. Or 2010. Or 2014. But now a major Australian study analyzing over 1,800 papers has shown that homeopathy, the alternative treatment that relies on super-diluted substances and the principle of “like cures like” is completely ineffective.

After assessing more than 1,800 studies on homeopathy, Australia’s National Health and Medical Research Council was only able to find 225 that were rigorous enough to analyze. And a systematic review of these studies revealed “no good quality evidence to support the claim that homeopathy is effective in treating health conditions.”

18. Nice propaganda.

Nobody is buying your fictions.

[GoneOffShore]

14. By definition,alternative medicine,

Has either not been proved to work,
Or been proved not to work.
Do you know what they call ‘Alternative medicine’ that’s been proved to work?
Medicine.

Thanks to Tim Minchin

No hippie punching involved.

All the chakra realignment, reiki, acupuncture, naturopath nonsense and assorted woo is just wishful thinking without basis in reality.
And all your wishing won't make it so.

20. Your cartoon appears to come from here, in 2006:

A visual definition for 'quack' - An untrained person who pretends to be a physician and who dispenses medical advice - See more at: http://www.spinfold.com/quack-meaning/#sthash.xeh8sXPq.dpuf

Do you know any untrained people pretending to be physicians and dispensing medical advice?

16. Actual, real problem: 98,000 deaths per year from medical technicians

"In 1999, the Institute of Medicine published the famous "To Err Is Human" report, which dropped a bombshell on the medical community by reporting that up to 98,000 people a year die because of mistakes in hospitals.

"...In 2010, the Office of Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services said that bad hospital care contributed to the deaths of 180,000 patients in Medicare alone in a given year.

http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2013/09/20/224507654/how-many-die-from-medical-mistakes-in-u-s-hospitals

Why do some ENTITIES continue to ignore the real problems, and instead indulge themselves with routine, systematic and regularly scheduled attacks on complementary and alternative medicine?

The answer, for any unbiased person, is Obvious, Inc.

17. Journal of Patient Safety that says the numbers may be much higher

"Now comes a study in the current issue of the Journal of Patient Safety that says the numbers may be much higher — between 210,000 and 440,000 patients each year who go to the hospital for care suffer some type of preventable harm that contributes to their death.

That would make medical errors the third-leading cause of death in America, behind heart disease, which is the first, and cancer, which is second."

19. Keep promoting scam artists.

It really helps everyone to see who you really are...

21. This guy?

22. I would not be shocked.
