Quote:Seriously? Do you trust your doctor? They are basing their diagnosis and treatment of any medical issues you've had on data collected by other parties with plenty of interest in perpetuating certain 'truths'. There will always be data sets that are interested in perpetuating certain (mis)information, but that's why peer reviewing is a thing and that's why people should draw from multiple sources of information whenever possible.

 

... how many times are doctors wrong? All the time.  My girlfriend is a nurse, and she tells me stories all the time where a nurse will guide and direct the doctors because they're absolutely clueless. Sometimes even to the point where patients would have died had he not considered their opinions. It happens so often apparently that it seems that it would question your faith in the average doctor. 

 

I admit that I don't know as much about this topic as many of you. I think we agree more than you know, but I believe both sides have valid points. When you have a government that believes in certain aspects of global warming, and they give money for these "studies", then we shouldn't be naive enough to believe that those "studies" will be influenced by whatever routinely gives them money. 

 

Quote:Honestly, I don't trust Dr's.  A lot of them are legal drug dealers.

 

There's a lot of truth to this... especially in those small doctor's offices where it's only the doctor and a couple nurses.
