No evidence of being capable of providing competent medical care or advice

There really is no “consistent, high quality evidence” that doctors and the medical industry provide more benefit than harm — in fact, the reverse is actually true. More people have died from medical mistakes than have ever died from drugs. Doctors can’t get away with this lack-of-evidence scam anymore, especially when it comes to medical cannabis.
With this attitude, I find it hard to believe that Dr. Kneeland treats pain patients. I find it hard to believe that he has any patients at all. So, Dr. Kneeland, you can take your ignorant opinion, stuff it in a pipe, and smoke it.
There is also no evidence whatsoever, to the contrary either
Interesting quote for the following reason.
“Chronic” is an adjective, used to modify a noun that names a disease. Exempli gratia, “chronic bronchitis” is a bronchial disorder that lasts an unusually-long time.
Opioid addiction can certainly be chronic.
But therapy is not chronic.
We don’t call it “chronic insulin therapy”.
We call it “long-term insulin therapy”, when we describe the treatment of diabetes.
Accordingly, there has never been research done into “chronic therapy”…of any kind whatsoever.
Which leads me to suspect, that Dr Kneeland has intentionally chosen his words with great care.
Eventually, in a courtroom, under a withering cross-examination by a smart, thorough lawyer, Dr Kneeland will be forced to admit that some studies have, indeed, been done, of long-term opioid therapy in human patients, beginning in India in ancient times, when the medicine was first discovered, on down to the present day.
And the ONLY way Dr Kneeland will absolutely prove, that he has not willfully made a false statement while under oath, and save himself a ten-year prison sentence for perjury, is this:
“I never said I could find no evidence of long-term opioid treatment being effective against pain. I said I could find no evidence of CHRONIC opioid treatment, being effective against pain.”
And Dr Kneeland walks out of that courtroom, a free man, rich with the money he got, by scamming everyone in Montana and elsewhere.
Yes. People who know me, find me annoying in these sorts of conversations, because I’m extremely picky about small details.
The reason I’m picky about them, is because I know how liars and cheats get away with cheating, and I’m not happy about it.
re: Dr. Kneeland’s quote as rendered above. Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Minister of Propaganda under Adolph Hitler, is attributed with the following: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
