well, here in the UK it's 2014 but it's a shame for our Colonial Cousins that they are still stuck in 2013, at least for a few hours more

Just remember: surgeons cure - physicians just treat


... at least that's what surgeons believe

That's the way surgeons operate.

Nah - surgeons cut, physicians treat, and neurologists document untreatable diseases. And we're all greedy, misanthropic assholes.

Except for the rest, who either commit suicide, die young, or stop caring as a means of self-defense.

Why am I even saying any of this? Carry on.

I for one have had mostly good experiences with doctors. All except this one dermo who can suck my dick any time he likes.

Kids docs? Brilliant. Post and ante natal care? Pretty great all four times. One time, a gp even saved my foot from having to be cut off thanks to a staf infection that went nuts in the space of about two hours.

Doctors? I love them. Even the less interested ones.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, Ali. For me - I would have died giving birth to my first son, if not for medical intervention and an emergency C-section. My son would have died, too. I would also have died three weeks later when I went septic with a late post-partum infection/peritonitis, if not for medical interventions and antibiotics.

I appreciate doctors and modern medicine. I wouldn't be here without them.

I appreciate doctors and modern medicine. Even though my family has lost several people to medical negligence and outright malpractice (two uncles, an aunt, and a starved to death grandfather).

Because there are also several other members of my family who would not be walking about in the world today without them. Including my mum. And they did my Dad proud in his last years. And they have stood by me through years of chronic illness.

My GP surgery is awesome. Whichever of the doctors I get to see when I go, they've always been helpful and listened, treated, or reassured as necessary. One of them, though a General Practitioner, also has a specialism in dermatology. She is awesome. She pretty much turned my life around a few years ago. Made me feel so much more in control of my health and well being.

I've had some nasty experiences with doctors and the medical profession in general. But mostly they were when we went off piste, so to speak. Back when I was terribly ill as a teenager, and they just couldn't figure out what was wrong. Off we went to the wacky, outer edges of medicine.

I've encountered some right cocks in the world of medicine. Some arrogant, cold, and distant bastards. And I've encountered some wonderful human beings. The kind you look at and think 'wow'.

Peoples is peoples. Whatever the profession. Good, bad, indifferent, incompetent, driven, selfless, brilliant and dedicated.
