Some doctors are great, I have known quite a few over the decades. Unfortunately these days drug companies in particular seem less scrupulous. A compelling piece of writing.

Scary but true. It’s happening. Good for you taking the second opinion. They make money from our fear, like our religious gurus.

Unfortunately, the medical profession isn’t what it used to be or we didn’t know what we know now. I only go to a doctor, when necessary, and if I have any doubts, I get a second opinion. The medical field is more about big business and not about caregiving.

I guess it’s already happening in some parts. Health parameters have been modified to make people consume medicines – as in diabetes. Chemotherapy is being attacked as a fraud pulled on cancer patients. Recently, I escaped undergoing an unnecessary surgery, by taking a second opinion.
