The BBC series Alternative Medicine ....

But this week scientists involved in the series have complained that elements of the programmes were misleading, the production team was uninformed, and scientists were used as "marionettes".

It was claimed the narration underplayed the role of the powerful sedatives and large doses of local anaesthetic that were used during the surgery, and exaggerated the role of the acupuncture.
