Mathematicians say they can prove anything at all, if you just spot them one miracle. For the Medical-Industrial Complex, "standard of care" is that miracle.

"Standard of care" is, essentially, declaring some medical treatment as safe, healthful, beneficial and even mandatory solely by fiat. Even if it drops you right in your tracks (see Tiffany Dover), then that's on you because probably you just suck at being alive. For proof, see the first sentence of this paragraph.
