ER docs are the only ones I trust. Nurses do most of the work, but they're also morons that pretend like they're a doc when in plain clothes. Nurses are the biggest pill poppers I've ever met.
I just don't trust anyone anymore. I'll hang with people, but I don't trust you at all if I meet up with anyone here ever. Can't live in a way where I actually believe what people are saying. I'll be cordial and interact, I just won't believe what you're saying.
Seems 'medical error' has become 'medical malice aforethought for profit'.

Each year, between 98,000 to 440,000 people die unnecessarily from hospital and doctor error.
On the other hand, deaths from flu AND pneumonia) are considered to be the eighth leading cause on a list that doesn't even list medical mistakes.
Don't believe the hype. Please don't get vaccinated for the flu out of fear. Vaccinated persons can still catch the flu.
Instead of "147 Flu Deaths This Season", why don't they blare headlines "Thousands Dying From Medical Malpractice"?
