I may break the mold for some but I always like for my patients when asking for another opinion to get two or three. I think conspiracy is too organized a concept for medical profession. In truth most members of the profession start out trying to be objective observers of new information, and there is a LOT! of crap that hits the front page of "The Inquirer" that is nothing more than that and is NOT new information. Then as night follows day the desire to be objective but remaining very busy gives way to a narrowing of perspective resulting in myopia, tunnel vision or at worst total lack of vision. Sorry but in my view you give medical profession far too much credit for their cooperating in a conspiracy. Had you EVER spent one hour at a hospital staff committee meeting your notions of conspiracy would disappear like the dust on the conference table in front of you when you exploded in laughter at the thought listening to the haggling and bickering. You give credit where it is not due. Get a grip. As a profession we are NOT that organized or that smart. If it makes yo feel better looking at it that way then fine. But then such a view is as myopic and misguided as when the shrub calls izzslum a peaceful religion. Just ask Salman Rushdie, or better yet see if you can find his op-ed piece from London Times a few weeks after 9/11. Cheers Jim Black
