Bad Medicine

I thought doctors were supposed to be intelligent. I thought specialists were supposed to MENSA smart when it came to their respective fields. So how is it that a lung specialist - who is claiming that it's possible microwavable popcorn causes lung disease - releases a statement like this?

"We cannot be sure that this patient's exposure to butter flavored microwave popcorn from daily heavy preparation has caused his lung disease," cautioned Dr. Cecile Rose. "However, we have no other plausible explanation."

Right.

Isn't that like saying, "We cannot be sure that Stephen shit his pants, but we have no other explanation for the large, brown, skid-like stain, offensive odour or small pieces of excrement in his underwear."

I'm going to call Telehealth Canada and ask about Stephen's problem.
