By definition, every patient with cancer or any patient in the ICU or any patient after a serious motor vehicle accident has a "serious medical problem". Unlike you, I am involved in the medical care of and see and talk to those people every single work day.
By "at large", it seems that you mean that you read in a newspaper that something happened, out of the millions of cases in the U.S., somewhere in any city in the U.S.
Such a broad statement would be analogous to someone reading FreeRepublic, coming across your posts where you misspell “incompetence” as “competenct”, misspell “criticism” as “cirticism”, use “your” instead of “you’re” and misspell “incompetenc” in the sentence “You will more incompetenc than your naive, but large ego can handle” and then declaring that FreeRepublic AT LARGE is populated by uneducated people who cannot spell or string a coherent English sentence together.
I don't have to attend your silly medical seminars that don't address this issue.
The meetings that I mentioned are not “seminars”. They are meetings in the Hospital where every medical case in the Hospital that encountered an unexpected problem is reviewed. Every single case.
Too bad your so defensive. For all I know you're a prime offender who like others in the medical profession can not tolerate ANY cirticism.
Actually, in 23 years of medical practice, I have never been sued. I am just more involved in the medical QA mechanism that ensures competency than you, an individual who has not yet spelled “competence” correctly.
There's the problem right there. Your being directly involved in the medical profession has blinded you to reality. You don't want to hear that the allopahtic branch of the medical community at large is severly troubled to put it mildly. Criticism or headlines that highlight the true shape the allopathic community is in under raises your defensive anger.
After years and years of admiting anything that breathes based on ANYTHING but merit has taken it's toll. We are reaping what we've sown. Incompetency abounds however you will never see it because of an abundance of ego and pride. You consider it a personal attack.
It doesn't matter to me what YOU think of the situation. It's patients that spread the word and that is your bread and butter. Those seriously ill are the best testimony to the gross incompetence that is common place in your medical community.
Too bad if you don't want to hear it, much less accept that clean-up must be done within your medical community before it would be reasonable to lower liability rates. At the moment it's like the "wall of silence" that police used to have. Rates aren't raised unless there is a reason and that reason is common incompetence. So, keep defending the idiots and your rates will continue to climb as you are pooled with them. In the meantime "alternative" care is growing because people have very little confidence in the allopathic mob.
Savy people know that nutrition DOES make a big difference. They also know that alliopathic doctors, if htat is what you are, have betrayed Hippocrite. He stated long ago, "let your food be your medicine and your medicine be your food". Today you stand that on its head. Diet and good nutrition mean nothing to you. In fact, medical school now are clamouring to offer courses in it since people are realizing that is true, again. You on the other hand, can't wait to offer liver, kidney damaging drugs that ONLY suppress symptoms and cause other problems elsewhere. Then again the patient isn't what is paramount in your mind. Whereas the "alternative" approach, one the Hypocrites started with is eating your lunch and will continue to do so because it is effective. While there are times to round up the synthetic calvary, the majority of health problems don't need it.
What always amazes me is the sheer arrogance by the allopathic medical community at alarge. Here, all they do is supress symptons, NEVER fix the ROOT cause and want homage as if they are god/godess. LOL! Or if they can't supress the sympton, then if possible, REMOVE the offending organ. It's barbaric and only for the stubborn and simple minded. Obviously I have a very low opinion of the allopathic crowd. I'm unimpressed with their approach and results and ther "opinions" leave alot to be desired. I suppose that's why they have to "practice" medicine because it is based on pharmaceutical based "opinions" not sound objective science. In short it's a despicable and dishonest business that harms people.
When all else fails - always criticize spelling. Of course that will always give YOU credibilty and respect. LOL! If your profession were so compentent then we wouldn't have lawsuits, would we? Nah, why symptom supressors deserve god like status. LOL! They're egotistical morons.
