I guess other peoples opinions are not allowed in your litte world. Just wait until you are old enough to need constant medical care. You will then understand what I am talking about.

Speaking of doctors, my grandfather got skin grafts to re-cover his diabetes-ravaged feet...and then the night after the surgery, some random doctor came in, and even though my gramps told him not to, this other doctor removed the bandages, which had the effect of...believe it or not...ripping the new skin grafts entirely off his feet, still attached to the bandages (!!!?!). I still think doctors and nurses and the like are admirable ppl. Having life literally in your capable hands is some responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each thinks he understands the patient better than the next. The result: conflicting treatments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for being so harsh. I didn't want to start a fight. I am just a little upset at the minor flamming I am reciving as a result of this.

I think for every, say, 10 people in a given profession, you'll have 6 that do what is required of them, 3 that could be called worthless, screw-up, whatever, and one that stands out above all the others as excellent. This is my opinion and a gross oversiplification of course, but there it is. [ 12-21-2001: Message edited by: Vader's Jester ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
