You do know what the difference is between anecdotal evidence and statistics right? Your example sounds so far away from everything normal.

- 0xEFF 7y agoRight, and I suppose modern medicine should ignore rare conditions and syndromes, treating only patients who fall nicely into a normal distribution.
- ujjjujjj 7y agoNo. Where did i say that? Has it ever crossed your mind, that medical people have a simliar distribution than every other field? Do you think every software developer is an expert? Do you think everyone who is painting, paints equally well? Do you think just because someone studied, that person is smart?

- 0xEFF 7y agoThe data does not support the claim breast milk is better than formula for long term outcomes [1]. Given this, it’s appropriate to be angry and frustrated at the way society and modern medicine treats women who do not breast feed. Especially when the woman is struggling to breathe. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/jun/20/is-breast-really-best-i-looked-at-all-the-data-to-find-out https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2019/jun/20/is-brea...
- ujjjujjj 7y agoThat is STILL anecdotal. Srsly there are bad people working in hospitals who are doing a bad job. But some of them also just be overworked or don't care or whatever. “This is the most important thing you can do for your child, and if it doesn’t work for you, that’s very unfortunate and, in the long run, will have serious consequences.” never crossed my plate. In germany mothers try, if it doesn't work, it doesn't. Thats it.
