> Its [sic] way more valid than your opinion. Can you elaborate on what you mean by valid? My only opinion was that the piece was poorly written. There are several fact-based statements in my original comment. People do still die from bacterial illnesses. The original author basically said we should do away with doctors. That also means people who know when and which antibiotics to use. Also, I commented on acute conditions in only one paragraph. I specifically admitted that there are limitations to modern medicine. There are many chronic illnesses that we can’t diagnose or don’t understand. There are also illnesses that are chronic because we have ways to keep people alive, even if we can’t cure the disease (HIV, several cancers). If we are going to discuss validity, let’s do it with facts. Overall, just pointing out that not all physicians are arrogant jerks or uncaring idiots. Many really try to be helpful, but are overworked and constrained by administrators, insurance, etc.
