Substantial evidence currently exists to demonstrate that Starling’s law is wrong [1], the revised Starling Principle is a misnomer [2] and all the formulae that goes with it are also wrong. Persistent to defend such erroneous concepts is a futile attempt to defend fraudulent science. It is well known that Starling’s law dictates the rules on fluid therapy for the management of shock which misleads physicians, and particularly anaesthetists and surgeons, into giving to much fluid during shock resuscitation, induction of anaesthesia and prolonged major surgery [3]. This practice induces the newly recognized volumetric overload shocks (VOS) that cause ARDS and hundreds of thousands of patients death per year [4-6] though remain unrecognized and underestimated.
