Never except any Doctors drug recommendation as gospel. They are not unfalable.

For readers who follow some of the topics that get ‘put on the shelf after a while,’ here’s something that might register with you. According to Google (as of 25 Oct ’11), the trivalent inactivated flu vaccine (the most prescribed type) has a pooled efficacy of 59% in people whose ages are 18 to 64. This is yet another good reason why they can take flu vaccines and jam themselves.
Easy money for people who don’t deserve it. Science, my arse.

Bob, I don’t know about MOST people on the face of the planet, but MOST Americans lean toward being DUMB when it comes to bending over and smiling so an MD can do all of their thinking for them. If no one has invented a word for this insanity, kindly refer to it as “medical politics.”
There is no way I would trust a half-arsed politician when it comes to my health, and there is absolutely NO WAY an MD will do my thinking for me. The way MDs get away with that crap is via a combination of being put on a pedestal and having too much authority via a mere piece of paper.
It proves that a fool and his money are soon parted. It proves that there is a sucker born every minute. It says much about the idea of ‘trust me.’ For those who refuse to use whatever it is they have between their ears, they need to remember that their medical ‘God’ WON”T be at their funeral.
MDs “care, that’s true. Sadly, most of them worship MONEY. If they’re lucky, patients come in at a distant 4th or 5th place, compared to the LUST for easy MoNeY.

It is up to the patient to educate him/herself. The majority of people takes what the doctor God says as gospel ajd suffers for it. I canot imagine how many deaths occur in this country from over-medication with numerous drugs at the same time. My friend told me yesterday her doctor said her cholesterol was 220, and he put her on medication. The odd thing is he put her husband on a lower dosage of the same medication even though he has heart problems. It just doesn’t seem kosher to me. She told me the story of a woman who had high cholesterol who went to another doctor, where it was found to be within normal range. Too bad they don’t have home cholesterol testing kits. I told her to investigate natural methods of controlling her cholesterol. She had also used coffee creamer that morning before her test, and that may have contributed to her high number. So many people are on blood pressure and cholesterol medication it is ridiculous. I just heard yesterday that the patent on Lipitor is expiring soon. The generic is $10 vs. $180 for the “real thing.”

I heard some people in a waiting room today talking about getting their flu shots. It was like an everyday thing to them, and they were all young people. They’re part of the large flock of sheep that live in this country. Doctors are not Gods, and people need to remember that WE pay them.

There needs to be more health education in this country so that we don’t have so many health problems.

We live in South Africa. we have had excellent medical care here and up until recently, even the government hospitals did well.[I worked as a sister] However, Govt hospitals are collapsing for lack of funds. Now they propose to have national health which will be compulsory.Private Doctors say it will destroy the existing healthsystem. It seems to be a global trend. Two days back a minister on the radio said “In our global governance….” Is all this not the New World Order blueprint for mankind? I think so.

yes these morman docters will sell there souls for money..if you die they still make money on you cause they own all the mortuarys..mormans are crooks sex perverts and lyers..and they still practice polygamy on the side under cover..they like young girls 14 15 years old..the prophet has a bed in the salt lake temple where he can make love to the young girls that go threw the first time..he has a large bottle of viagra there to

The HealthCare entity I work for is the second largest employer in my state and they just made the flu shot mandatory to maintain your job. If you haven’t gotten this forced flu shot by December 31st you are considered voluntarily resigned from your employment.
Who is behind this? Duh, drug companies. How much money is this HealthCare system getting to institute this mandatory flu shot? Who knows but it must be substantial.
I am sure the drug companies are chomping at the bit for this to happen and be successful without any glitches. If it is successful within the largest healthcare network in this state it is just a matter of time before it is every citizen within the state. My understanding is that the drug company lobyists are heavily lobbying the state capital for support in making the flu shot mandatory at this time. The only thing they need is a local politician who desparately wants to hang onto their job and bingo – a little campaign funding and that vote is bought and paid for – onto the next! In the meantime we are all watching our God given right to choose what we want put into our bodies vanish. How can it be someone else’s decision that I inject that vile trash into my body? Abosuletly disgusting!

This problem of prescribing medications which provide kickbacks will only get worse under Obamacare because the highly skilled doctors are going to be a rare breed with the limited reimbursements, invasion of doctor-patient relationship, medical unions under the thuggish leadership of the SEIU and the over-regulation of medical procedures and an influx of millions of people who can’t pay for any medical services and the doctors may be faced with a forced medicaid system. Right now many doctors will not accept medicare or new medicare patients because the reimbursement does not alllow them to pay the bills and most doctors will not accept medicaid because the reimbursement is close to nothing. The Govt is already starting to grease the skids for advanced nurses training which will supplant doctors in many areas, so the bottom line is not having to worry about being given drugs that enrich doctors, but the skilled doctors are going to be an endangered species thanks to Obama and the socialist democratic party led by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. When Pelosi stated on natinal TV in 2010 we will have to see whats in the health bill, even she wasn’t smart enough to realize the unintended consequences, the big push was to spread the wealth not worrying about seriously damaging the best health care system in the world. I hope you remember the incompetence of these corrupt lawyers when Nov 2012 rolls around.
