A physician can practice as he or she interprets the science. It comes to a

head when they have to defend it in a court of law. There are many, many

neurosurgeons who will testify that it IS NOT a standard of care. If you

truly read the science you will see where the original researcher (Bracken)

used flawed research and misinterpreted the findings. We wrote our paper

several years ago because several EMS systems were being sued for not giving

steroids. Since the paper was published, such suits have stopped (at least

we have not heard of any more) and several suits against ED physicians were

dropped or settled for a small amount.

And if you go back and notice that one of the original cases showing

'significant improvement' from the late R. Crowley on the subject

involved a

patient who was already steroid dependent for other reasons.
