These people ostracize and hassle those who try to do a honest job and point out the issues with their methods. They also drive the people trying to do a good job out of the field because they can't compete with the fake productivity p

Just because healthcare and money are mentioned in the same paragraph doesn't mean the discussion is about public vs private healthcare. Its actually pretty disturbing to me that multiple people felt necessary to share their opinion ab

1) Its not some random guy's job to replicate this stuff. Its the job of people getting paid to do this type of research (ie, the peers) to verify each other's work. 2) You're right, its been published for four years, seems t

You've missed the entire point. This isn't about revealing that he died now. Its about them confidently proclaiming the death was unrelated to the procedure. There is no way this is justified if he died of "lung infection&quo

Yes, nice find. There are many ways the vagal stimulation could have been linked to the death, you have to work hard to ignore them.

1) There is no way to conclude there is no link from one guy. There are so many possible ways it could be linked. So anyone concluding no link cannot be trusted either due to maliciousness or ignorance. 2) He was apparently stable for 15 ye

I didn't "link" anything. I proposed a few possible links. And you don't think stimulating the vagus nerve could have some effect on the lung (eg secretions) which can result in infection? Here is a random article that g

I don't know the details but that does sound like the medical issue killed her.

The point, as far as my post was concerned, is that the doctor is getting paid. Not who is paying them.

Any country, I would think. You know a country where psychiatrists and other doctors work without getting paid somehow?

Yea, after learning that the patient died a few months later from a lung infection (after being kept alive for 15 years) yet the doctors/researchers claim there is "no link", it makes this whole story sound like BS. I could s

From that link: >"a concern that people might have wrongly linked the therapy, which involved nerve stimulation, to the 35-year-old’s death from a lung infection." The vagus nerve also innervates the lungs, and performing a sur

This is about clinicians who are getting paid to deal with the person though. They should expect to have their efforts to "help" be sabotaged for seemingly no reason, be betrayed as a means to get self esteem, constant testing of

I don't know, but if they start blocking every random number in your area code it will cause a problem.

Yea, so quantum mechanics is a set of assumptions. From those assumptions + some other "auxiliary" ones you can derive stuff like the stefan-boltzmann law that makes predictions about the world. Those predictions can then be compa
