Kurt ~ Doctors are no more evil or good based solely upon their profession than say...your local pastor, or service engineer be they mechanics or plumbers. More so when the individual seeking advice is totally ignorant about the service sought.
Doctors are but mere mortals, human beings although I have met my share of those who believe otherwise. With those gods, I've gone 10 rounds sometimes. The simple fact is that somme are more or less honest than others. About 3 years ago my son and I sat before an anesthesiologist who steadfastly proclaimed that there were absolutely no dangers whatsoever associated with general anesthesia. My son needed an operation. Did the doc have his way.....absolutely not because the operation did not require a general. The meeting was scheduled because I objected from the get go......I knew a general was not necessary but he would have scheduled it as a matter or routine. As I sat assessing him, I concluded that he was lying, and it didn't take but a few minutes before he knew, that I knew. Did he say this because he was dishonest, truly believed what he said, inexperienced, or just a demented idiot? Each person must do their own evaluation when they place their lives in another's hands. To this day I will be eternally grateful to the surgeon who sewed four fingers back of one of my sons who would have otherwise lost them due to a water skiing accident. And then there's the surgeon who fixed another sons fibula that had completely severed in a football game. My neice will soon be attending Med School. She calls the witch doctor, as she fondly calls me, to see if I have any Echanesia on hand when she comes down with a cold. And its usually because she runs out. Does she know about colloidal silver. Absolutely. When she attends med school, will they attempt to brain wash her. Absolutely. The primary difference between her and the anesthesia guy will be that integrity and honesty cannot be bought or sold. When a person approaches a health care provider, or anyone else providing a service, and relinquishes their self-responsibility for acquiring at least some knowledge of the problem they are sealing their fate. If you know your engine is always stalling and the mechanic tells you he's done an evaluation and you're crazy, would you keep bringing your car back to him?

I know there may be some that don't have a clue as to whats going on, but if they've been around for a while they know.
