Re: Dr Pories/a closed mind gathers no truth

[Guest guest]

" " nor will they ever " ????? ok, i guess there is only TEACHING

going on there, not any LEARNING. even today's school teachers in

the public systems have to go back to school and learn more and get

more certificates verifying they have kept up to date. doesn't this

apply to our medical school professors as well? where would we be if

medical teachers of old said they would not use some " modern miracle

drug or procedure " and nor will they ever??? that is progress? they

are putting on blinders in the name of medical science?

ok i guess you get the idea that i am incredulous at that statement.
