Brave Maverick Doctor

The Brave Maverick Doctor is a part of the mythos of woo, anti-science and conspiracist thinking generally.

In the usual scenario a "brave maverick doctor"[1] invents a miracle cure for cancer, AIDS, autism, chronic Lyme disease, malaria and toe fungus, but this is suppressed by evil Big Pharma and he is hounded by Big Pharma Shills who cause trouble with advertising and medical regulators on the wholly spurious grounds that nobody else in the entire world has ever managed to duplicate the effect of the miracle cure.

Large numbers of Brave Maverick Doctors are not doctors at all - many claim the title ND, which stands for "Not a Doctor".
