WHAT IS THAT????? Can any schlub refer to himself as a "physician"??? And what the hell is the "Naturopathic Board of Medical Examiners" ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? That has to be a made-up joke for Saturday Night Live or soemthing, right? The most astonishing part of the article is that they referred to the offending person as a “naturoapthic physician”.

There were some important differences though. MD's were involved as well, and the actual cause of death was the use of IV colchicine which was improperly prepared or labelled by the manufacturer. It was, however, given for back pain, which strikes me, as a rheumatologist, as odd. Hope this kind of stuff remains on the west coast.
