Quote:... 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. 

 

 

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.

OK, let's put it like this:

 

So you walk into a hospital with a fever thinking it's nothing more than a fever. The first doctor you see tells you it's ebola (nice and topical). You ask for a second opinion; the second doctor says it's ebola. You ask a nurse, she says it's ebola and she makes sure to keep at least 20 feet away from you. People start showing up in hazmat suits and you are moved to a quarantined room. A team of doctors all come in (all in hazmat suits) and show you the test results and they all say it's ebola. 

 

Do you still think it's a fever or do you wait until you are literally bleeding from every orifice?
