I believe in the 80/20 rule, that is 80% are just doin' enough to bring in a pay check. you have to look hard to find the 20% that are interested in really finding a solution for your medical problems. it might only be 1-3% that have their act together. the problem is that finding the RIGHT doctor may involve trial and error. the system is working.

leading cause of death in this country (last I checked):
1. Heart failure
2. Cancer
3. Hospitals
4. reactions to pharmaceutical drugs.
I used to have a friend who was a pharmacist. 2-3 times a week she would get a script that conflicted with other drugs the patient was on. in some cases, a potential deadly combination. she would call Dr. feel good to inform him that he had prescribed a drug which she could not legally fill.
half the time the docs would start arguing with her and ORDER her to fill the friggin prescription!!!! she had to quietly inform Dr. feel good that "Doc, I'm not going to jail for you or anyone, so forget it". they'd usually change their tune after she laid that one on them........
