Twisted Logic

From Corposcindosis

by CSMESS

Using the twisted logic of an ETS surgeon, congenital hyperhidrosis of the hands, underarms and/or head indicates a treatment of surgically-inflicted nerve injury to the sympathetic nerve cord. On the other hand, hyperhidrosis resulting from the above mentioned nerve destruction indicates treatment with oral/topical medication and tolerance.

But, shenanigans must be employed to justify and sell this surgery because, objectively, you simply cannot justify it in any way from a medical health standpoint. There is not one single physical health benefit that can be gained from a nerve injury on the sympathetic chain. None. Zero. Zip. Nerve injuries have a negative effect on the healthy functioning of the human body. Period. This point cannot be disputed.

That is why the surgeons -- in complete opposition to established medical ethics -- use subjective patient testimonials and surveys exclusively to justify the surgery and do not perform objective diagnosis or follow-ups. The fact that some people who undergo the surgery prefer the unhealthy physical dysfunction brought about by this insult to the nervous system does not in any way change the scientific fact that it does cause the body to operate in a diseased fashion.

Somehow, we must find a way to change the dialog on ETS from one of subjective value judgments of satisfaction/dissatisfaction to a scientific and objective conversation on physical health and the proper functioning of the human body.
