Hospitals are being closed everywhere. Entire wings are being converted to office space and massage therapy rooms with hot stones and mumbo-jumbo due to the fact that insurance companies prevent surgery when it's medically appropriate, in favor of the pill bottle we make a daily connection with.

Question..........When NFL or sports figures have a chronic injury or pain condition, how do they correct it as quickly and effectively as possible?

FRICKEN SURGERY!!!!! Sure there are post surgery meds, but they do surgery to correct stuff. Taking pills does not correct anything but mask it. I offer you the same argument on vision correction surgery which makes eyeglasses and corrective lenses obsolete. As vision technology surges forward, general medicine and surgery goes backwards. Funny huh?

Hospital closings can be blamed on a lot of things; goverment regulations & taxations, lawsuits, illegal immigrants, a corrupt press, drug companies, and insurance from both the doctor's end and the patient end.

Are you implying that all chemical research is related to the drug industry? OMG

What do you think medicines are, they are chemicals.
