I’ve seen way too many of “scientists” and “researchers” try their own cures to various problems.

Always shocks me how relatively simple solutions can be with the proper background but none of those would reach mass market due regulatory issues.

Wonder what the policy would be if someone forced experimental medicine on someone without permission. How much do you think the patient should be allowed to sue for?

People like their curly brackets though. Just not as helpful when dealing with system problems.
