Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Thanks, Misty. The entire system is political, not scientific. I am ashamed of the corruption of my profession.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 I try to avoid doctors as much as possible. For me they have become the least trusted, most arrogant 'profession' that I encounter. I actually have come to believe that to them the title " M.D. " really means " Medical Deity " . If you get the chance, watch the movie " Patch Adams " . " We're going to make you more than mere humans - We're going to make you doctors! " . Yes, I realize that's fiction but it's a common perception of the 'profession'. As to the FDA, I think their heads are turned away from the people and are ultimately oriented to the financial best interests of the pharmaceutical companies. As to 'safe supplements', I do think the manufacturers should give you what the label on the bottle says. That part I like. To tinker further with what Mother Nature created would make them unnecessarily expensive and bordering on pharmaceuticals. Something else bothering me is why aren't doctors held more accountable for the deaths they inflict? For anyone else it's considered murder - for doctors it seems to be just another 'medical mistake'. And they want to limit malpractice amounts? With everything our government has been doing lately, it makes one wonder just whose side THEY are on. (Either you're with us or you're against us) That's my 2 cents worth. " Misty L.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Thanks, Skip. Patch is a good friend of mine. His philosophy is much like mine. My philosophy is much like his. I wish the movie was more like his life and practice has truly been. The truth is more dramatic than the movie story.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Hi Walt, If your philosophy is similar to that movie, your desire is to heal the entire person, not just write a prescription and move on? I wish I could know Patch's true story. Is the movie fact or partially fact based? I was actually happy about the ending of the movie. The dean deserved the foot implant he got.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Thanks, Skip. Everything I saw in the movie was fact based but there were so many even more dramatic things in his life and practice that were not included. I even participated in a few of them.
