Now, if they did that... look at all the money they would lose in pharmaceutical kickbacks, etc, etc, etc! Further, more and more of them think they are above the rest of us (gods in their own realms) so they think they can do and tell you anything they want and you are supposed to swallow it like any other pill they prescribe.
I so much enjoy the show "Mystery Diagnoses" on The Discovery Health Channel that comes on regularly Monday nights but can be caught at other unexpected times on weekends, etc.. I stay away from doctors as much as I can. They have forgotten the Hippocratic Oath and just feel that their malpractice insurance is enough to cover their sweet asses.

Why is it that doctors are so ungiving on things like reducing or eliminating medication, changing classifications etc. OK I'm done venting, I just get so pissed off at them. > > Cullen > >
