I've had it twice. This was nowhere near as painful as the Hong Kong flu I had years ago, during which I prayed for, but was not granted, a quick demise. g This one only made me wish I were unconscious or heavily drugged. I heard that doctors went on strike in the US a few years ago. During this strike, the death rate rose. Is this true? It's hogwash. First, physicians here are largely independent, albeit many more now are employed by HMOs, hospitals, and corporate clinics than before. Against whom would they strike?? Our doctors take the Hypocratic oath, and 99.9% of them take it very seriously. To boot, neither physicians nor hospitals are allowed by law to refuse care to those in acute need. I don't know where you got that bit of disinfo, but it's just that. You over-estimate my reliance on your opinion. You'd be well-advised to reconsider, in light of the fact that the opinion is not only mine. OK, I've reconsidered.

"Donal" wrote in message You all have an inflated view of your knowledge. Most of you seem to think that it is acceptable to take a guess. I'd like to give you a wake-up call. If you are not 100% certain, then you should admit that you don't know. Your confidence is somebody's bereavement. I really didn't care to get into this discussion, but it's obvious you have absolutely no concept of how medicine is practiced. 100% certainty is exceedingly rare in medicine, as in virtually anything where the human body and mind are concerned. Example: A patient comes to me with a painful, red eye. I can generally determine from signs and symptoms whether it is an infection, or from some other cause. Say, for example, that it's an infection. Once again via signs and symptoms I can usually determine if the causative organism is viral, bacterial, or parasitic. If viral, I'll prescribe an antibiotic prophylactically (viruses tear up tissue like a rototiller through a garden) and advise palliative measures. If a bacterial or parasitic infection, I may culture it, if it is severely acute, and prescribe a broad-spectrum antibiotic. If subacute, I'll simply prescribe an appropriate antibiotic regimen and have the patient return in a day or so. The reason is simple--if one waits until the results from a culture and sensitivity return from the lab, one of three possible outcomes will have occurred: 1) the eye will have gotten worse, 2) the infection will be unchanged, and 3) the eye will have gotten better on its own. The first two are unacceptable, so an antibiotic is prescribed as a matter of routine. And 95% of the time, the antibiotic will clear up the infection. I can't recall the last time I had a patient return with an infection that failed to respond to what I prescribed. Yes, it has happened, but rarely. The point is, most medicine is practiced in a similar manner, i.e.--without knowing 100% of the facts. But that professional knowledge you seem to have no respect for actually allows us to make a very educated guess, and far more often than not, it is the correct one. Another example: A patient presents with abdominal pain. The differential diagnosis points to, say, two possibilities: a simple irritation to the bowel from some unknown causative agent (toxin, hypersensitivity to something ingested, etc.) or perhaps, say, an infectious agent of some sort, like an enteric virus. So the doctor prescribes something to make the patient feel better along with something to neutralize the irritant or kill the infective agent. 90% or better of patient will be treated successfully by this method. But say, for the sake of discussion, that the patient has a bowel obstruction, a potentially fatal condition, and that the physician missed the diagnosis. When 8 hours or less pass and the patient is still suffering, he will call the doctor who will then order further testing, such as lower-GI X-rays and/or and of a number of scans, bloodwork, and further physical examination. So why, you'll no doubt ask, did he NOT order them in the first place? Because of cost, plain and simple. To order such tests on every patient that walks through the door with a belly ache would bankrupt the third party carriers overnight, or at least end medical insurance coverage as we know it. Such tests aren't generally needed by competent clinicians with good differential diagnostic skills for routine belly aches. And in most cases the patient won't expire before the necessary tests are done. Occasionally doctors misread the symptoms and signs and miss the keys that might have saved a patient's life. That is medicine in a nutshell--it isn't perfect. As I said before, it's an inexact art. A physician's confidence in his knowledge is his #1 tool in the diagnosis and management of illness. Many tout technology as the savior of the human race, w/r/t medicine, but without doctors with good diagnostic skills, technology is useless. Another aspect to this is that if tort reform or some sort judicial review of medical malpractice cases does not become reality, the day might arrive when a physician must order up every possible test for every sniffle and belly ache that comes through his door in order to keep his ass out of court. In that event, health care will reach astronomical cost points, possibly hundreds of times what it costs today. And it will NOT be any more effective in saving lives than it is now, only more expensive. It's really your choice. Do you want reasonable health care costs, or do you want 100% assurance that nothing is ever missed? You can't have both. Do you have 100% assurance that every time you board an airliner you will reach your destination alive? Do you have 100% assurance that your next trip to the park with the kiddies won't result in a random, drive-by shooting, killing your or your child? Do you have 100% assurance that when you buy a bottle of Tylenol that one of the capsules won't be filled with cyanide? Of course you don't. But the odds are overwhelmingly in your favor for a favorable outcome. The same is true with medicine, despite what the yellow journalistic anti-medicine press and websites wrongly profess. Max |

Storms must be wonderful to watch from the lavish comfort of your Manor... overlooking the water with your new gardener tending to the lush botanical array. I wonder how it looks from Donal's Brownstone walkup and his ravaged flowerbox overlooking the pawnshop!?? That's the conundrum..... do you heed obedient reason under the burden of ethics or the logic of rational with the freedom of disposable income??? CM |
Oh Please... you must admit it was a great post!!
BTW- I have no pride left... I was married once and it was stripped clean away! CM "Donal" wrote in message ... "Capt. Mooron" wrote in message news:SvFSd.24642$NN.5788@edtnps89... I'm glad you consider those monthly pay-offs from your "Associates" to be "honestly earned" Ozone!! It's just that Donal has elected to take the route less travelled. He actually earns his money by hard work, impeccable ethics and honesty. This is... as you are aware form your days on the force... a difficult path to negotiate. Donal has full right to feel so smug about the few hard earned dollars he makes! Please refrain from enlightening him as to the profit of life without conscience. HAHAHAAAAA! Mooron, stop smooching up to Oz. He doesn't mix in your circles. You only own *one* boat.... and it is a bit shorter and a lot older than any of Ozzie's vessels. Regards Donal -- |
None...it was built in 1985 and we bought it from Americans...

At least my boat was manufactured in the good ole USA. Your French fluff in unpatriotic. How many Americans have you put out of work buying French? CN |

My Nordica was built in 1983..... and I wouldn't trade her for 5 of your best boats! CM |
