I'm sure battlefield acupuncture will prove to be just as effective as morphine the next time one of our Air Force pilots gets shot up, have to crash land, or whatever.
That said, how often does that happen?
If Dr. Richard Niemtzow had any guts, he'd try his quackery in the Army and Marines.
And, how did he get a bullshit title and gig like "Consultant for complementary and alternative medicine for the Surgeon General of the Air Force"? Is my tax money paying for this?
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
