Real Medicine

I saw a website where someone was putting down another due to their idea of what they thought real medicine was and that this person's medical ideology, regarding curing cancer, made him a quack.

He said, "Real medicine relies on evidence, accuracy, testing, truth, reason, science and reality."

I agree, however, after the numerous things I've seen and read during my life, about some people in the various fields of medicine, including the recent incident regarding Dr. Farid Fata, I would like to add that: Real medicine also relies on humans not being unscrupulous, imperfect, dishonest, bias, unethical, evil and/or egotistical. All these things that could deliberately distort his statement of real medicine.

I'm thankful that I've had some good doctors in my life but I've also had a few bad ones. Based on my experiences, the bad ones don't want you to question their knowledge; the good ones are open to discussion and trying new ideas.

If you get feelings that something isn't right, question it or move on. You have that right. Your intuition might be trying to tell you something. Just because a person has a degree in anything, it doesn't make them infallible.

Not me, not you, not anyone.
