See Bob why people need to be able to decide for themselves. Then they wouldn't have wet behind the ears students who know doodly squat deciding on very specific things which they know almost nothing about for supposedly lay people who might be perfectly capable of learning far more than the med student can possibly learn.

See how the first thing he has thrown into his mind without any real controlled study data is the assumption that he and the annointed should have control and profit from other people. I think he is double blind!

He has the cheek to call YOU Bub!

Listen Matthew, the guilds were endemic in medieval Europe and the commissars ruled the masses in USSR/China to no good purpose. Count the corpses. I really don't want you in another couple of years telling me what I can and can't do. Although you will no doubt have a belief in your amazing omniscience, I remain convinced that my interest in my own survival exceeds your interest in it.

And I have very good, direct, not hearsay, evidence to substantiate my belief in my own determinations rather than the various doctors I have had dealings with. Though I off course use and trust their knowledge when I'm lacking confidence in my own.

I could start with the medical profession's inability to identify a tumour in a cervical ganglion, misdiagnosed for 2 years as a reactive lymph node which to me didn't seem like just a swollen lymph node. Nor was a NHL tumour again in a neck for which the advice was keep an eye on it for some months. A skin specialist's inability to identify a melanoma which I could see was worth removing - proving to be melanoma. Gary Beale, dead from "keep an eye on" another melanoma. Many different mistakes they make. Time after time after time after time. The delays in approving Rituxan in NZ although obviously efficacious. You really can't be serious that doctors should have other than an advisory capacity.

These are cases where my own personal opinion was the precipitator of the treatment, despite the medical profession's protestations of "no worries mate!" I have lots more medical errors and ignorance if you like. And there are heaps of others. Why do you think malpractice insurance is such big business in the USA? Just because of capricious juries or is there a little truth in it?

Okay, venting and ranting off for now!

Learn some humility, Bub.
