Actually tapeloop, since I know quite a few Physician's (including my wife), I know that generally most of them put their hearts into their work. You have to, since Med-School isn't exactly the easiest thing to get into or graduate from. And I am talking hospitals, not individual docs.
Your statement "I will say this: you'd probably think differently if it was your Mom or Dad who was killed or seriously injured as the preventable result of some quack." Is what I really take issue with. The problem is that when someone loses someone else who they're close to they make look to blame someone else. So instead of thinking "hey, it sucks my mom/dad died.." and that's it, they take it to "it's the Dr's fault, they should have done X."
Now I don't think that EVERY Dr should automatically get to do whatever the hell they want, or get away with anything. BUT I do feel that is one profession where people need to not be so quick to judge the Dr. Dr's seem to get less and less respect these days.
Anyway, back on topic. I'm really getting sick of seeing these big corporations threaten legal action just cause they don't like what's going on (ie RIAA and downloading music). It would be nice to see more people take up fighting this crap and then counter-sue the company. Maybe they'll learn to stop... |
