  1. As a former healthcare provider, I used to question HOW MUCH of medicine– once a relationship between doctor and patient– is now being controlled by the media, pharmeceutical companies, HMOs, and government. Now I wonder how much ISN’T. This is just another straw on the broken camel’s back.

  2. its simple, if your a doctor, the patient comes first. IF you take issue with the fact its the patients life, not yours, that matters, then you shouldn’t have become a doctor! A doctor refuses to give you a life saving blood transfusion because it is against his religion, then he shouldn’t be a doctor!
