edit* correct again my spelling the good doctor's name. Many apologies for my clumsy fningers..“Finally, I have never met patients as impressive and as inspiring as MS patients. They are intelligent, curious, knowledgeable, well-connected, independent, yet collaborative and engaged with each other. They are generous, respectful, yet unwilling to be cast in the role of ‘vulnerable population.’ They are the true drivers of this phenomenon. They control the agenda. And their anger at the establishment and its physicians result from those who will take away their empowerment. It is for them that I now focus the rest of my career on the relationship between CCSVI and MS and other diseases and on an effective treatment strategy.” ~ Dr. S. Sclafani - Tandem Magazine
Dr. Sclafani: "I was the only American interventional radiologist who performed this treatment until 2010."
This is what makes our Doctor so different from others ...PCakes wrote:Thank you Dr Scalfani !!

Ignorantness and misleadingness, this is what makes our Doctor so different from others ...You recently made a comment about German and Swedish studies that denied the link between MS and CCSVI. Were the scientists accurate in their report?
“No. They did not follow the diagnostic testing procedure and algorithm described by Dr. Zamboni, and then proceeded to state that they invalidated his observations. It was sort of like one person looking through a telescope and seeing the rings of Saturn and then another person looking through binoculars, not seeing the rings, and then stating that the first observer was wrong. Different instrument of observation, different observations.”
Really? How about applying this principle to Neurologists for once?Malden wrote:Ignorantness and misleadingness, this is what makes our Doctor so different from others ...You recently made a comment about German and Swedish studies that denied the link between MS and CCSVI.

'We' as a whole do not. The few that do, well, they can be judged based on their contributions....BooBear wrote:For this we liken them to swindlers and manipulators?
Boobear, you should not. History has shown that such has been the case with most of the new discoveries & inventions. Sometimes opposition is good and indirectly validates a theory. Don't you think if these people had something concrete, they would have retorted to rhetoric (remember hoax?, bee sting?)?BooBear wrote: I am growing increasingly frustrated with remarks that liken esteemed professionals in their field with charlatans.

Let's try something new.
