Butthurt doctor threatens lawsuit
An invaluable source of medical information for the lay person is being sued in an attempt to suppress legitimate criticism.
Dr. Edward Tobinick seems to think litigation, rather than published peer reviewed studies, is the proper way to address criticism of his practices. Here’s wishing that Dr. Novella and SBM prevail so that cranks like Dr. Tobinick learn that frivolous lawsuits are a waste of time.
Update 2014-08-24: You can find more information and an easy way to donate to the defense of this SLAPP [here](http://www.theskepticsguide.org/legaldefense).
Update 2015-10-04: I just read, via the [Consumer Health Digest](http://lists.quackwatch.org/mailman/listinfo/chd_lists.quackwatch.org) mailing list that the lawsuit was dismissed by the court. Yay for freedom of speech and anti-SLAPP laws.
