    Tbh I’m really beginning to think that the whole “fuck around, find out” thing needs to just play out in cases like this. I know people will be hurt. But like… if the patient insists on a stupid fucking medication that’s not going to help, and will instead have catastrophic side effects… you know, you do you, I guess. The people who will actually leverage this law are, shall we say, not swimming in the deep end of the gene pool. This is very definitely Darwin Award territory. I’m genuinely having difficulty mustering any sympathy for people who are so thoroughly idiotic.
