Good for you and your research, cheerleader! There was a time that my curious mind worked well, and I appreciate your mentation, and tenacity, immensely. (I don't need to be told to shower, and I am still up for adoption)

The old "do no harm" saw gets tired when it comes to tired, unimaginative, gutless physicians. I think that the first Hippocratic precept is "relieve suffering - where possible", or should be.

It drives me mad that "physicians" like Freedman will prescribe toxic therapies that can potentially kill, but in the end, the patient must give informed consent. It is ultimately up to us - as patients. It drives me no less mad when patients are uninformed, and give consent. Don't be desperate!

Clowns like Freedman only have the credibility that we give them.

A bit of trivia for the people: The phrase "first, do no harm" does not appear in the Hippocratic Oath.

I still remember him from that video someone posted about a ccsvi meeting at Ottawa....his stupid joke (said twice) about Dr Zamboni's results, "sounding so good, (he) almost got on a plane to Italy," was too annoying. His attitude was total condescension. I urge all his patients to find a new neurologist; his is not the attitude of a doctor who cares and wants to help. I expect he will be working with Biogen soon, too.

I’m pretty sure you're thinking of the video of Dr Cossoy in Winnipeg (my neuro!). Otherwise I have little to add...
