"Those of us in medicine know that the medical usage of treatment is to address symptoms to stabilize and alleviate them "
I can just see someone visiting Ophicus with a case of tetanus. He says 'just go home and smoke some dope'. All your problems will go up in smoke. You did it again - a lie. When your argument is weak, you lie.
No honest person could go from word usage to an attack of "all your problems will go up in smoke."
