Doctors and stupidity

One blog. One cancer case. One scream. One end.

A young woman's opinion about doctors. A dieing young woman's opinion about doctors. And you know what? I had the same opinion about doctors, and I am not even sick (that I know of).

And then I changed my mind. This bad opinion that I had about the doctors, was misfocused. They are not worse than we are, they are not better than we are. It's easy to prove it. They are neither worse or better cause they are simply us!

They are part of us. They do what we do. They don't do their job well the same way we don't do ours. They avoid doing their jobs the same way we avoid doing our job.

Isn't it obvious?

They are no different than you or me.

It's what they have been taught to do, the same way you and I have been. There is no point single them out. We all have to change. Not just doctors.

Can we change? Not really. We had our chance and we blew it. You can't teach and old dog new tricks. But what about new dogs? We might be able to do that. Make the next generation better, and maybe they will do the next better, and maybe someday this misery and stupidity arround us diminishes.

That's the way to go, not by blaming doctors. We can blame ourselves..
