Uh... I'm more inclined to agree with Kristyne. I have a friend who is married to a doctor. He manages the practice. What he has observed and experienced pretty much are in total agreement with Kristyne's experiences and observations. Basically, most medical 'science' is 'guessing'. Don't get me wrong, they have a lot of information, data, research, etc, to help them guess, but in the end it's pretty much guessing. Surgury is, of course, a bit more 'scientific', but most things beyond that are 'lets try this and see what happens.' Generally, there is a pendulum type thing that happens in medicine: first - "druggers" are favored, then some new 'discovery' comes along and then "talkers" are favored. Then the reverse happens. If you look over the history of medicine you'll see what I mean. Overall I believe the medical industry (not counting drug companies) has improved. But it's almost a wonder how we ever got past witch doctors. :-) -Charlie _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
