I believe that most people's (doctors included) hearts are in the right place. They just have mistaken opinions at times. It is my job to sort out the truth for me. So when a doctor screws up it is up to me to quit him/her if they won't listen to me. I believe that true evil comes from an active will to knowingly destroy or harm another person. I don't think that many doctors do this. I always try to ask myself when I am angry at someone " when was the last time I made the same or similar mistake". I usually can find an instance and that, along with time, takes the wind out of my sails.
The most important thing is that I don't waste my energy and power and my health on anger. Michael "M. G.
