OT: television shows speak for the traditional health care field

[Guest guest]

I've seen a couple shows on lately that make fun of mold illness.

One was on Bonnie Hunt show, mentioned new laws concerning second hand smoke,

then had a spoof on that topic with someone who said he was doctor from

Hopkins University, that started talking about need to keep kids at home for

fear of 'third hand smoke', then said but then there are 'dust mites' and 'mold

in your basement', so indoors isn't safe either, with canned laughter going on

at same time. Made me angry.

Then there was an episode on one of the crime series. It featured the death of

someone who was a patient of an 'alternative doctor', using other means to fight

cancer. Anyway, in end of investigating this doctor, crime series stars asked

suspicious doctor, 'what were you going to use on patient next, since blah, blah

was't working?', and he turned and said 'anti-fungals', as if that was some kind

of " dead give-away " that the doc was a quack.

I've seen some other episodes on similar subject, i.e. patient coming into ER

after being treated by alternative doctor.

What about all the death and illness caused by non-alternative docs?

Some brain washing going on. There's a growing amount of people questioning all

the drugs being prescribed by traditional doctors and looking for healthier

alternatives and attempts are being made to stop this. They are extra difficult

on alternative docs, while traditonal doctors do all kinds of harm and it's

okay, because he was following " standards of practice " that insurance company

and pharmacy companies and lawyers, not doctors, write.
