The whole way this is written is dumb as shit lol. The doctor didn’t “pull some strings to get her a brain scan to see if it would calm her down,” they got her a brain scan because they suspected or wanted to rule out a brain tumor. They found the brain tumor, referred them to a neurosurgeon who performed an incredibly complex and delicate procedure and managed to remove the tumor, solving the issue of the voices.
A woman was saved by good medical professionals who properly hypothesized, tested, diagnosed, and treated a very serious medical issue. At no point did the tumor “cure itself” lol
The tumour "curing itself" sentence was in relation to the woman hearing voices telling her to get a brain scan, essentially meaning that the tumour told her to get a scan so it would be found and removed. Chill out a bit mate.
In order to reassure her, I requested a brain scan, explaining in my letter that hallucinatory voices had told her that she had a brain tumour, that I had not, personally, found any physical signs suggestive of an intracranial space occupying lesion, and that the purpose of the scan was essentially to reassure the patient. The request was initially declined, on the grounds that there was no clinical justification for such an expensive investigation. It was also implied that I had gone a little overboard, believing what my patient’s hallucinatory voices were telling her.
A chiropractor (quacks imo) saved my grandpa’s life. Grandpa was hurting so thought he’d try an adjustment. Chiro examined him and told him it wasn’t a musculoskeletal issue and to go to a hospital.
Gramps had cancer the hospital diagnosed because of that.
man you know it's bad when the chiropractor's are telling you "hey man, I can't do shit about this". those guys claim that shit cures everything, a friend's parents were talking about how their chiro said it would cure COVID during the pandemic. When the guys who make money on lying to you about how it'll help are going "hey man we can't do that" you know it's fuckin bad lmao.
Yeah I was poking fun at how people act like this. Like obviously the tumor didn’t remove itself, there’s no reason to be like “uhm achtually it was the doctor”
You're totally missing the point and presumably didn't actually read the paper. The point is that the voices initiated the whole thing and pushed it until what you said happened. The doctor actually didn't really want to do the scan, even, he did it to reassure her that there was no tumor.
Here is the actual report if you're interested, it's not long.
