Before I would let someone cut into me, I'd like to know that the surgery is necessary. Had we gone to doctors first and listened to their advice, we'd have had surgery numerous occasions for ailments that we have been able to heal through exercises.
Mechanics know far more than we do, as do doctors. But if we simply trust the mechanics and do not ask questions, then they take poor care of our cars and charge us a great deal. Studies support our common sense that women get charged a great deal for phantom or minor auto problems than men. Why? Because the mechanics think they can get away with anything with women.
Horsepoop. That is what this thread is about. Why not go visit some other country and find out how you would be treated as one of several hundred seen by a doctor per day, not per week. Why all the stupid bellyaching from guys who think they know it all.
Why don't all you smart ass posters go run for President and join the other know it alls up there hoping to make the big time.
Makes me sick to keep hearing about how professionals who have earned their way get cut to shreds by jerks on here.
Grow up and grow a pair and earn your way to respectability. Most of you can't count to 50 without cheating.
Every profession has people who may not be the best in dealing with others, but when you take an honest look at the medical profession, or any other profession, the vast majority do a damn good job of things.
Go complain to your mom and dad, since I am sure you think they screwed things up for you.

Practice what you preach. You clearly have no experience with the rest of the world.
The term "Practice of Medicine" says it all. Just like sports, some are good at practice, some aren't. You could lock some kids in a gym and they'd still never learn how to shoot a basketball.
Just because someone passes a test doesn't mean they'll proficient in their trade. Everyone needs to pass a test to get a drivers license but look at how many piss poor drivers you see every day.
Same with personalities and temperament, not everyone can be Mr. Rogers or June Cleaver.
If you don't like the doc. you've got, try finding a better one.

It also disrespects Daleks and Cybermen. All he does is kill them.

I'm sympathetic to this. I'm glad to grant someone the title of doctor if he actually deserves it, but just because you graduate from medical school and get a government license doesn't mean you're worth a damn. The fact of today's healthcare industry is that MDs/DOs have a government-granted monopoly over the field of medicine, as a result of which they don't actually have to be good at what they do in order to survive professionally. The field is so regulated and stifled by government controls that many of the most gifted and innovative individuals have turned elsewhere to fields that give them more freedom to use their minds, leaving medicine open to pompous mediocrities who see it as a path to prestige and care nothing about the actual work. The ones who care most about the title are the ones who deserve it the least.
Yet another libertarian wack-job who lives with his heads in the clouds.
Once upon a time, MDs/DOs did not have a government-granted monopoly over the field of medicine. Do you really think that was better that it is today?
Even today, you have people refusing to vaccinate their kids, turning to copper bracelets, etc.
Show me a place on the planet where both:
a) MDs/DOs or their equivalent do not have a government-granted monopoly over the field of medicine, and
b) I want to live,
and then we can start talking.
Otherwise, stop the libertarian drivel and move on.
