There is much talk these days of preventative medicine, and I think one of the best ways to practice this would be to avoid doctors and medicine as much as possible.nothingprofoundhttp://wwwaphorismscom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922585504516430005.post-36971620689812321662012-09-04T15:28:18.520-04:002012-09-04T15:28:18.520-04:00I agree with a lot of what you've said here.

There are also people who enjoy the sick role, people who experience secondary gain from their illnesses...if anyone is mentally ill, I think it's that population of people. People are slowly starting to swing the other way now, to the point of feeing they know more than their doctors on a routine basis; this is where a little knowledge, gleaned from the internet, is a dangerous thing. IMHO, the practice of medicine and the treatment of illness should be a cooperative effort, between patient and physician.Helena Fortissimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038388794311046455noreply@blogger.com
