If your model of "I'm the doctor, I know what's best for you, and I should make all the decisions for you" is so great, then why are so many people turning to alternative therapies? Is it simply because they have been duped by the "misguided idiots" on forums such as these? Or is it maybe because the current model for health care in this country is not working very well?

Why is it that, according to the JAMA, Doctors Are The Third Leading Cause of Death in the US, Causing 250,000 Deaths Every Year?

I and my family are not against doctors. We go to the doctor regularly. But I don't turn my mind off when I go, either. I ask questions and if he doesn't like questions (our current doctor is not like you, he will discuss things patiently and answer questions) then I will find another one who will.

Don't worry, you will get your chance to vote for Hillary! and then you can have your vision of gov't run medical care which takes away choices from people. Just be aware that taking the choices away from patients will also take the choices away from doctors as well.

Could you provide a link to that study? I searched the JAMA website and was unable to find it.

Has anyone else noticed that the Krodriguezdc character has simply chosen not to clarify his/her medical credentials?

We're all witnessing intellectual dishonesty at its worst!

The simple fact is that chiropractors are not often trained in either the scientific process, microbiologic theory, pharmaceuticals, nor human anatomy.

There is simply no excuse for this type of unprofessional conduct!

Two hundred years of sound and tested science can not halt the queer logic that would prefer to leave the United States vulnerable to biologic attack rather than use fully licensed vaccines!

But alas, the Flat Earth Society has prospective candidates for new membership!
