I think the closest male correlate is tearing an ACL or UCL. Happens routinely. Known recovery period. Most come back at or near full strength. These male athletes are generally not traded for purposes of replacement but are sometimes traded in the usual course of things.

Speaking of oversimplifying…
If the TX event had happened a few weeks before or after, it wouldn’t have been as impactful. It was a once a century event that coincided with annual winter maintenance of plants to prepare for summer. Both were complex events.

To clarify: this is a retrospective survey of IBD patients registered as medical cannabis users comparing their recollection of ED visits before and after they started using cannabis. Very far from a study of any meaningful level of evidence.

More sophisticated? Today you just needs to be part of the same political tribe and people will believe whatever you say.
