"As we know, the clean-up workers were forbidden by BP to use their own doctors. They were/are to seek medical help only at clinics set up by BP."

And the reason for that requirement is that the BP docs are better qualified to identify and treat chemical exposures. Your average GP/MD is FAR less well qualified to do either.

When I worked for "ye giant chemical company", one of the routine duties of the plant physicians was to run annual physicals and document any effects that might be related to exposure. Those folks who worked a plants with more-toxic chemicals got more and deeper testing, in some cases every six months instead of annually.

I respect your opinion.

I’m just having a difficult time with you and other FReepers who are siding with BP, Obama, and the MSM who are hiding the truth regarding how dangerous this situation is regarding the possible long term effects of the oil spill and the use of Corexit...
