If HBOT is potentially beneficial, the proper response to a study is to tell people to raise it to their doctor to see if it makes sense for them.

- gfodor 5y agoThat’s why you should see a good doctor not a typical one. A good doctor would be interested in any research that is well founded despite being non-consensus. That doesn’t mean that they will endorse it. But people like the person I was replying to cuts them out of the process by presuming they already know the right choice for a patient.
- rectang 5y agoLots of treatments are "potentially beneficial", according to various "authorities", such as grapefruit as a cure for cancer. Going outside the scientific consensus is essentially an argument for alternative medicine.
