Are you unable to engage with the full context of the situation? You repeatedly refer to the OP in your comments but there is a much larger context.

Simple logic, see if you can follow:

1. Sophie publishes flawed research (nitroglycerin for osteoporosis)

2. Sophie practices medicine and gives patients nitroglycerin for osteoporosis, with knowledge that her study is a lie. This causes harm to patients, because she knowingly gives them a therapy that doesn’t work. This is malpractice.

Absolutely. I am also able to

- Not make attacks at the person making arguments.

- Not assume that the OP's mother received nitroglycerin

> Simple logic, see if you can follow:

You are assuming facts not in evidence, buddy.

> This is malpractice.

This is the absolute definition of a straw man.
