» Differences between CAM practice and primary care practice : Respectful Insolence
News flash: The quacks spend a lot of time with their patients, therefore the patients seek out the quacks. I agree with Orac on this: I would love to see what happens to the perception and seeking of quack medicine if regular science-based medicine doctors could spend as much time with the patients. Then again, as Orac points out, SBM can’t actually help some patients, which is where the quackery and woo swoops in. A quack will NEVER say they can’t help you. They will never tell you that it’s hard to make a diagnosis based on your symptoms. They ALWAYS have an answer because they’re not committed to science, truth, honesty, and accuracy. Just to selling you their quack treatments.
