I say that MDs are good for plumbing: changing valves, fixing a

broken arm, stitching a cut, and such. The rest... it is all about

symptoms and Big Pharma.

Of course, there are some who have gone to the other side; ours. But

where are they?

Also, I avoid the term doc or doctor because I am one of them, not

the least related to the medical establishment.
