Oh, I Wish
Nov. 6th, 2010 11:11 pmHere's my new wish. I want to see someone who is constantly blabbering on about how awesome alternative medicine is and how evil all real doctors are get really sick. Not something minor, like a cold or made up, like adrenal fatigue. I want to see one of those conspiracy spinning nutcases get something really nasty, like necrotizing fasciitis (commonly called flesh-eating bacteria). Then I want everyone to watch as this person either dies while taking their own favorite brand of woo based "medicine" or gives in and takes real medicine. I don't think it would take that long. There are some examples of this already (read about Hulda Clarke), so I guess what I really want is some famous promoter of woo to face this situation. Although I think that the problem with my plan is that it counts on people being smart enough to see someone choose real medicine or die while taking fake medicine and realize the meaning of this. It counts on people seeing reality and changing their beliefs, and I am not sure that that ever happens.
