Ok, I am a physician who did not benefit from tax dollars in my education. I had to join the military and serve for 6 years in order to fund my college/medical education.

Uh...

[Bushforlife]

Yes, Uh. My education was not the result of a taxpayer dollar giveaway. The program I was in was an arrangement in which I agreed to serve my country in uniform in a place of my country's choosing for six years of my life, obey orders, and practice according to their practice guidelines. I was proud to wear the uniform, and happy to take care of our brave soldiers. The money they paid for my education was in PAYMENT for my surrendering my basic freedoms for all those years; the contract was that THEY pay for my schooling, then MY PART was to serve in the medical corps with all the requirements outlined above. I received nothing for free.

First, you didn't say "taxpayer giveaway". Your salary as a member of the military was supported by the taxpayer. That's all. There's nothing wrong with that, indeed it's the highest of honors.

Also, do not believe that your private schools did not receive a great deal of taxpayer money. (Unless it was Grove City or Hillsdale.) Indeed, I think the subsidization of in-state students is quite a bit more honest than the grant system that allows most private universities to remain afloat. But don't get me wrong, I have nothing but the highest respect for your decision to serve and the tenure of your service.

Thank you. I will take seriously your thoughts in regards to the funding of my college/medical school; I had always believed, and still do, that the schools received no tax money. If they do, I stand corrected.

I believe they have a building set aside for the School of E.R.A. (Electronic Reactions of Abrams)

Thank you for that link. I've never heard of him, but I believe his descendants are selling Corti-slim somewhere even as we speak......

I think it is shameful the way you approach this subject. Indeed you make the case for those that find your diatribe less than honest. You bandy around words that are not fitting for this thread or anywhere else.

WTH? If anyone's comments are out of line in this thread, they are your own direct insults noted above. How many of your family members are chiropractors?

Naughty...

No need to get personal...I do not recall posting to you.

If it matters, all the doctors in my family are or were MDs. I come from a long line of such, namely , The Doctors Warren. If you care to research, Joseph and John founded Harvard medical school.

No where in that long history will you find any of those gentlemen that stooped to a low of calling others quacks. That language is not befitting any ethical professional person.

No need to get personal

What a relief! Now I understand the thread rules. It is ok for you to fire off personal insults, but not ok for anyone to call you on it. Thanks for the clarification.

If Jim King wants it...

[cynicom]

Ethics means nothing to many professionals and they take umbrage at anyone that brings such a breech to their attention. Postings totally lacking in class speak for themselves and mirror their authors.

JIM KING IS A THREAT TO ALL FLORIDIANS. Some of his threats pack a wallop. I wonder what's in his wallet (chiropractic payola?).

VISIT www.terrisfight.org. Pleasingly plump Jim King is a threat to disabled men, women and children. I'm done. Returning thread back to author.
