She said that, although the study showed no difference, that she stood by her protocol. This reminds me of the controversy over radical mastectomy for breast cancer. More than thirty years ago, definitive proof that patients do no better with a radical mastectomy, than they did with a lumpectomy and radiation, was published. It was immediately attacked by the surgeons who were doing the radicals. NOW, it is accepted as basic truth after millions of women have been mutilated unnecessarily.
Public education is the only thing that is going to change things.
