The author of that SF Gate piece should be blankety-blanked with a blank.
Alright if I copy this and leave it in my Waiting Area?
Dr N,
I know this isnt the best place for this message but Im on here everyday so I’ll leave it here. This is neal, the SGU’s resident NHL insider. I emailed you guys last week about Crosby/Dr Carrick issue getting more and more press in the hockey world and you (Evan) addressed it on last week’s show. Thanks so much! (i understand others may have emailed you, but i like to think it was just me) As I’ve stated I follow the NHL really closely, and even though I live in Portland, Maine I get a Toronto Lunch-hour hockey radio show via podcast everyday. It is on the FAN590. The show, “HockeyCentral at Noon”, is the biggest hockey radio show in the entire country of Canada and it has many listeners. Anyway I was listening to Monday’s show and they mentioned something along the lines of “did you hear the Dr from Yale last night saying that this Carrick guy is actually a quack??” I immediately knew it must have been you and i looked it up and it turns out you had been a guest on a different show on that same station the night before. Even though many American listeners may not have heard about your appearance, there are many thousands who listen to that show in Toronto and across Canada and the US who may otherwise have not heard that perspective on Carrick. I just want to say thanks and congrats because you “planted the skeptical seed” on the Carrick issue in many thousands of listeners’ minds by making that appearance. Good work, thanks so much for everything you do.
What is the name of the radio show Steven was a guest on?
It was pleasant to listen to these Tibetan sounds this morning. I wish there could be a station on broadcast networks playing sounds instead of their nightly news. Less agitating anyway.

I know this is a niave question but here goes. Is medicine both an art and a science? If so can one be a fantastic medical scientist and be a poor healer? And, can one be a good healer and a lousy medical scientist?
“Is medicine both an art and a science?”
The science is letting evidence decide which tests and treatments to use.
The art is in convincing patients to accept those science-based tests and treatments whilst convincing them that they made those decisions themselves.
“can one be a fantastic medical scientist and be a poor healer?”
Yes. You can have all the evidence at your fingertips but be completely unable to convince patients.
“can one be a good healer and a lousy medical scientist?”
No. You cannot heal patients by convincing them to use non evidence based treatments.
Is it a worry that “Blank Healing” sounds like a legitimate trademark woo? haha. I wouldn’t be surprised if I had someone trying to sell me “Blank Healing” tomorrow.
Someone just tried to sell you false platitudes instead.
She offers “Space Clearing with Sound.” Heck, I was doing that 30 years ago with my old high school rock and roll band. We’d clear out a whole bar by the third song.
To really get this ‘blank healing’ off the ground we need a celebrity endorsement.
That will complete the package.
Here’s an idea for a new type of ‘surgery’

I think it just might sell.
