Speaking of Steve... I don't think it's been mentioned here... was he a victim of 'alternative medicine'? -- (link) - Dr.Johnny Vermin Oct 12, 15:29 17
- it was the cancer - moles Oct 12, 15:37
- honestly, the guy had pancreatic cancer. Many cancer patients try alternative treatments as a last ditch. Doesn't mean the treatment killed them. -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 15:35 13
  - No, it doesn't. But if the timeline here is correct, he tried the alternative (special diet) first, & the conventional treatments as the last ditch. - Dr.Johnny Vermin Oct 12, 15:38 12
    - He also way outstripped life expectency averages for that type of cancer, IIUC - TWuG Oct 12, 16:00 4
      - Not according to the article I linked. But I have no way of knowing how accurate it is. - Dr.Johnny Vermin Oct 12, 16:06 3
        
        I don't know about his specific type, but the average life exp. after diagnosis for it in general is 3-6 months. - b. Oct 12, 16:45 1
        
        and looking at the specific type, the writer's numbers are extremely optimistic. -- nm. - b. Oct 12, 16:53
        
        afaik the average life expectancy is less than a year -- nm - kare Oct 12, 16:22

      - No argument to your first sentence. - Dr.Johnny Vermin Oct 12, 15:51 3
        
        there is no doubt in my mind that steve's doctors were much, much more trustworthy than michael jackson's doctor was. - b. Oct 12, 15:54 2
        
        "much more trustworthy than..." Well sure. But that's a pretty low bar. ;) - Dr.Vermin Oct 12, 16:11
        
        p.s. if anyone wants something to get angry about along these lines, though, especially since there's no doubt in my mind it's done more harm - b. Oct 12, 15:57
      - this. no one did it to him. -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 15:42
    - From what we know about him, I'm sure he made a thoughtful choice. -- nm - loosilu Oct 12, 15:39
- If true, this is enraging. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Oct 12, 15:33 1
  - I doubt it was as linear as that reads... but it's his choice in any case -- nm - stewie Oct 12, 15:38

- that's the way the check bounces -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 12, 14:58
- What gets me is that your system should effectively work under a multi-party system. And yet, two parties are firmly entrenched. - Name Withheld by Request Oct 12, 14:58 3
  - nobody can build consensus within either of the two parties. not sure how splitting them into the "moderate" and "extreme" wings would make it better -- nm - moles Oct 12, 15:03 2
    - at the very least we could stop pretending that Bernie Sanders and Ben Nelson share anything in common. -- nm - Reagen Oct 12, 15:06 1
      - true. but then to have a governing coalition in Congress, they'd presumably still have to work together -- nm - moles Oct 12, 15:07
