A medical journal says the case reports it has published for 25 years are, in fact, fiction

[hlthe2b]

1. Any physician who takes anecdotal case reports at faith and makes decisions accordingly..

is a quack anyway. Physicians, veterinarians, dentists, and other clinical professionals should have had it drilled into them to make decisions based on peer-reviewed literature and published standard of care guidelines-- with Meta-Analyses of clinical trials and well-reviewed epidemiological observational studies likewise to be considered. Not a single "case" study.

So, while this will and should appall the general public, I have faith that most providers will not be paying much attention to these anecdotal accounts other than as an "oddity."
