Orthopedic Surgeon interviewed on CBS morning news....day after German Study

[Guest guest]

MD is quoted as saying on the CBS Morning news.....paraphrased:

" That all the study proves is that he spent 12 years of medical

education and 20 years surgical experience to perform conventional surgery that

has

less positive results than the sham acupuncture which he feels is not really a

sham but describes it rather as needling with less penetration than standard

acupuncture " .

 

Just looked on CBS News website and could not find any reference.

 

Many people saw this on national TV.
