RE: Do power lines contribute to breathing problems? Now O/T Doctors

[Guest guest]

I have seen some disparaging things said about the

medical profession on this group,but the idea that

doctors want people to be sick so they can make money,

and that they don't know anything about keeping us

healthy, is really outrageous. I don't want to cause

discord here, or encourage a debate, but I worked in

the medical malpractice defense business for 15 years.

In my experience, doctors and other allied health care

providers care very much about their patients'

well-being, and it's an extremely demanding field

which requires a lot of dedication. Believe me, if you

knew anything about what the average physician's day

was like, you'd realize there are a heck of a lot

easier ways to make a buck.

 

There is certainly a need for the medical profession

to take a further look at alternative/complimentary

treatments and environmental causes of disease, but

that doesn't mean the people in that profession don't

have an interest in keeping their patients healthy.

 

So to all of the hard-working health care

professionals on this list (M.D.s or otherwise), I

salute you.

I agree, there are numerous good caring doctors and nurses around but

of course there are money grabbing con artists among them. We should

never put the whole of the medical profession in a box, when we have

far more con artists in alternative medicine. In my next postI will

give some examples from web sites in our midst.
