"Dr. Pissed" is our commenter of the week, on the Desiree Jennings Viral Video post and the winner of our Dr. Demento award. The award is not a T-shirt, but perhaps we could get our logo onto a product from Massengill for him? Sounds like someone is a little too attached to his prescription pad.
He said: "Jesus, you people are insane. I am a neurologist, sub-specializing in movement disorders such as dystonia. I can tell you with absolute certainty that this woman's symptoms are nothing like a true neurological disorder, and are exactly lie those of hundreds of neurotic (crazy) patients I see every year. Furthermore you idiots, she is now magically "cured" (it's a real pain in the ass to fake those ridiculous bizarre symptoms for too long) which simply does not happen in true cases of dystonia. Finally, the gross prostituion of her case to the press and to "causes" like yours will only serve to fuel myriads of whackjobs with newfound psychogenic symptoms, crowding out genuinely sick patients from our already overtaxed healthcare system. I hope you and all of your progeny die from otherwise easily preventable viral diseases.

To Janet-
Thanks for taking the time to re-post. I appreciate your response.
But now there is John with his-
"Perhaps you need your children to be stricken with easily preventable diseases to get your to stop pushing false lies as truth."
...which is not nice at all. What is a false lie, John?

Why is Dr. Pissed pissed? That a woman with an actual affliction after the 3rd flu shot in 3 consecutive years suddenly found herself with neurological symptoms called "dystonia" that were "cured" with chelation (surprise surprise, amazing what that mercury can do!!)? I would have thought a real doctor would have been happy for her.
Just because you haven't been taught about the dangers of mercury in medical school (I wonder why) and you don't know that mercury can harm people neurologically because you weren't taught that in medical school (I wonder why), and don't know that people can recover from chelation which you weren't taught in medical school (and again, I wonder why) makes me wonder whether you are fit to be called doctors in the first place.
Times are changing and its obvious your curriculum is outdated. Better get to speed on that speedy fast or soon enough you won't have ANY patients at all, because all of them are going to go to doctors who can actually make them "real" well, not fake well with band-aid drugs!!

Sometimes I think it's a shame that the pistol duel has been outlawed. The "doctor" is certainly one person upon whose face I would slap my glove.
Do not wish for the deaths of my children unless you are prepared to back up your words.

"Endanger others through false statements"
Hmmm . . . interesting argument - almost Orwellian. Despite statements by the medical community, vaccines clearly are not safe for every child (VAERS anyone?). And in sufficient quantities, and combinations - the cumulative effect of which has not been studied - they may be even more unsafe for a larger population of children than previously believed.
If only vax fanaticists felt an iota of the shame that they try to inflict on people who - generally - have only their children's interests at heart (unlike the pharma mega-wealth who have every reason to continue developing new vaccines and ramming them down parents' throats).
I've got news for you - it is not my child's (or any other child's) job to protect you, or me. If you're so worried about herd immunity then why not mandate vaccines for ADULTS? You know there is very little chance of that happening so the remaining option is to coerce them on to small, helpless children, including infants with extremely immature immune systems (remember all those breastfeeding lectures?).
SHAME ON YOU John, and Dr. P.

Considering that age of autism wishes to endanger others through false statements, perhaps the commenter is right. Perhaps you need your children to be stricken with easily preventable diseases to get your to stop pushing false lies as truth.
Will this comment actually be posted? No profanity, no name calling. Does age of autism only want the supportive comments attacking the commenter?
Posted by: John | November 10, 2009 at 11:12 AM
Hi Teresa,
You're right (I am no expert) and I sincerely apologize. Thanks for taking the time to send the info and the links.
Believe me when I say that I know vaccine damage is real (our son is severely damaged) but I just couldn't ignore this funny feeling that something was quite right here- and this "Mommy instinct" I have to rely on quite often (and led me to reject allopathic medicine in general).
But in this case I will conceded and say I was wrong and my judgment was off. Plus, what she did by getting tons of people to question vaccine safety is wonderful!!!

Janet Sheehan-
You missed this info I posted- and you are no expert:
"Orac stated:
"I had never heard of a case of dystonia that looked anything like the above, particularly the part where walking backwards reversed (if you'll excuse my word choice) her jerky motions or where she could run but not walk."
So for ben, Orac, and Dr.Stephen Novella (how does a neurologist not read up on these things?):
Dystonia symptoms By Mayo Clinic staff:
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/dystonia/DS00684/DSECTION=symptoms
* Begin in a single region, such as your foot or hand.
* Occur with a specific action. For example, you may experience involuntary contractions in one leg when walking forward, but not when running forward or walking backward.
* Worsen with stress, fatigue or anxiety.
* Plateau within a few years.
http://www.dystonia.ie/page.asp?Page=36
Symptoms commonly begin with a specific action, that is, the abnormal movements appear with a specific action, and are not present at rest. For example, if it begins in one leg, the symptoms may be present only when walking and disappear when the child runs or walks backwards.
In generalised dystonia that begins in the arm, symptoms may be task-specific, apparent only during the act of writing or playing a musical instrument. If the disorder progresses, the symptoms of arm dystonia may appear when another part of the body is engaged in voluntary motor activity. If the dystonia spreads to involve parts of the body other than the limb of onset, it will first move to adjacent segments of the body, and then more distally.
Dystonia is usually present continually throughout the day whenever the affected body part is in use and may disappear with sleep.
http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/19265007/ns/dateline_nbc-health_stories/
"Herbert: The body just wants to do what it wants to do, when it wants to do it. This can be very, inconvenient."
On a typical morning, she and her fiancé, Luke, head out of their Manhattan apartment for breakfast. Since a casual stroll to the coffee shop, or anywhere else, is out of the question, Laura relies on a tricycle to get around the neighborhood.
Unfazed by New York City’s traffic, she pedals to her job at a cable television network. She enters work by the back door. It's closer to the elevator, and allows her to hide from the unwanted stares she often gets as she heads to her office, in reverse. Laura's dystonia makes walking a painful task; she actually finds it easier going backwards.
For all its striking symptoms, many doctors remain unfamiliar with dystonia. In fact, Laura was misdiagnosed for ten years. Doctors and even her parents believed her physical symptoms were all in her head."

Dr. Pissed feels threatened because his job lacks "security" right now (however saved by the Healthcare Bill if it passes).
Vaccines cause neurological disease. So, less people vaccinating means less profit for him. The entire Vaccine Program is in jeopardy right now and people like him are freaking out about it.
Read this and weep Dr. Deranged. I blame people like you for "promoting" neurological disorders.

Dear Dr. Pissed,
First of all, Doctor, need I remind you it was docs at Johns Hopkins that diagnosed her with dystonia so why aren't you calling them "idiots" or questioning their professional judgement? Why are you lashing out at autism parents?
Sounds like your really pissed about all the media attention this story has rec'd, the fact that it's gone viral so to speak and the you can't control that. Whether it's dystonia or not, I don't see how she could fake this condition and unless you examined her how would you know?
I think your fear/paranoia about her story fueling myriads of whackjobs to fake symptoms speaks volumes about your priorities. I have yet to see this happen. If you are a doctor, I would expect more compassion for the patient and less rage.

When I write my book, I am going to mention that a doctor (Dr. Pissed) made a death threat against me... Thank you Dr. (Pr)Offit for giving me the idea. :)

DR. PISSED is a COWARD and a FAKE!!!
When you post, please add your real name. Especially when you are a doctor and you are giving advice.
Posted by: Anthony Copolla | November 09, 2009 at 09:57 AM
Why is it when this woman gets better or our kids recover, they are frauds? The pill pusher doctors are the frauds, they are not helping our kids, just whacking them out on drugs. My son has been recovered for two years and I'm sick of the people that think that "he just grew out of it" or "we just stopped spoiling him." He used to be on four psychiatric meds and is on none now.
Posted by: Lila White | November 09, 2009 at 08:36 AM
Dr Pissy is pissed, because he NEVER HEALS anyone, just puts them on pharmacopia, and hopes for the best...which is usally a fruitless excercise of over the top side effects, with no to little alievment of the condition...in fact, never. Suck it. Tell me ONE DRUG that has cured (and reversed) a neurological condition, go ahead, make my day! And, our kids did get vaccines because we trusted people like you, and look what it got them? A lifetime sentence instead of a week of fevers, spots and coughs and sore throats...gee thanks...not...

"I hope you and all of your progeny die from otherwise easily preventable viral diseases."
If this is real, "Dr. Pissed" needs to do his patients a favor and find a new life calling. (I have no idea what. I wouldn't wish him on any profession.) Those poor souls who have put their faith in this madman. He'll slide under the radar and continue practicing for many years.
Posted by: mom4truth | November 08, 2009 at 09:13 PM
Sad. Somebody get that man some help.
I *wished* our neurologist would have actually said these words! Instead, we wasted our time, money, and well, . . . you all know know all that.
What a waste.
MAKE AUTISM STOP
Posted by: MAKE AUTISM STOP | November 08, 2009 at 08:40 PM
I've seen comments that horrible at other sites, believe me. I saw one at allnurses a few years back saying that he hoped that children of parents who don't vaccinate will catch the vaccine-preventable diseases and hopefully die from them so that the parents' stupid genes don't carry on. Wow, that's real nice. All I could do was look at my youngest child (he's the only one who has had no shots whatsoever) and think to myself wow, this asshole is basically hoping my baby will die because he is half me. What a prick.
The medical community needs to ask itself why we hate them so much. Then go look in the mirror.
Posted by: Chris | November 08, 2009 at 08:35 PM
Dear Dr.Pissed, At which University do they
teach this "Psychogenic mumbo-dumbo course"?
When I took my Health Scince program
1,we had to fully Examine the patient first,(Physical)
2,Listen to the patient's concerns,
3,did lab test etc.
4,be Respectful at all times,before we made a diagnosis.Are you up to date on bio-accumulative toxins,do you follow research
studies,do you examine databases? Do you check how your patients were doing before and after immunization? You are disrespectful and unprofessional.Look in the mirror,the hate is flowing out of your eyes.You are brain washed and blind,probably a drug pusher.If you keep up this kind of "good" work(you shown here)you will soon loose your clients.I could say more,but I will not go down to your level.

Dear Mr. Dr. Pissy,
I think that the problem is your blindness in the lies of the CDC, and your unwillingness to accept that you are brainwashed in the lies. It is your unwillingness to see the corrupt nature of the for profit on vaccines blindness and refusal to see honest truth of the matter, that amounts to true insanity. Wake up and see what is happening! Our voices will not be silenced by your ignornace, and unwillingness to accept that your medical establishment actually did this harm; and also to the nations children we speak of here. The proof is all there. One source is right here, Dr. Andrew Moulden, www.brainguardmd.com.
Another source is my own quite comprehensive website; which addresses the problems of misinformation and corruption not only in the world of vaccines, but in entire medicial establishment.
My only hope is that somehow you will humble yourself enough to finally see the truth and light. Please find it in your heart to try and help the vaccine damaged children, concerning this issue; instead of just covering up the truth. Last of all; you need to end the words of hate that you have for the parents, that are only trying to do the best they can for their children! Based on the now known truths; they are far from ignorant; and as you have claimed they are. Please go to my website and educate yourself today! www.lowellsfacts.com
