and to say she's using some childhood doctor from Arkansas when A) she is not from Arkansas and B) the doctor who wrote the letter is in New York.

he's a fucking idiot, though.

Frankly, that's an insult to Arkansas's doctors, like they are all incompetent or something. (And a "childhood" doctor of hers would probably already be dead too.)

about 6 years late but i'll take it

yeah, he's a horrible, exploitative, idiotic piece of shit and always has been

get started on Nancy Grace. She attacked my mother indirectly on television once. My mom teaches domestic violence diversion classes and she has been doing it for 20 years and has an excellent record when it comes to recidivism, but out of thousands of students in 20 years, something's going to go wrong. One of her students killed his family and then himself, and it made national news, and my mother is living in this pit of trauma and guilt over it, and Nancy is on tv talking about how diversion classes are completely pointless when they're not. Frankly I think it's a good thing we try to actually rehabilitate people instead of just dumping them in prison where they'll become more violent.

Um fuck Nancy Grace for that!

Good, this show should have been canceled after his crap about endometriosis.

[natyanayaki]

What did he say about endometriosis?

[wuvvumsoc]

Apparently he called it a garbage can diagnosis and saying that this woman who was already diagnosed with endo must have actually been sexually abused.

Does he still have his medical license?

I think "garbage can" disorder/diagnosis is a term some doctor's use for disorders that are hard to diagnose, that are sometimes diagnosed when nothing else fits but like...don't say that to a caller and don't say that to someone whose medical history you know shit about?

And what is wrong with Drew insisting women must have been sexually abused as children.

I'm glad he's gone.
