In what insane world would it be considered a good idea to transfer responsibility of ones life to someone else? What, they hang a MD and State liscense on the wall and suddenly my health is their responsibility? It's all a matter of cracking a book open, which is something the general public can do last time I checked. |
These statements are mind-blowingly foolish. If I could pinpoint what it is about conservatives like you (not all conservatives), it would have to be your inability to think and teh fantasy world you live in.
Yes, that MD and board liscenses on their wall makes your health their responsibility. You cannot do their job, you do not have the knowledge to do so. To think that being a doctor takes opening a book is horribly ignorant, it takes 8 years of school plus several more years of residency under the supervision of other doctors before you can become your own practicing physician. And even then you dont know enough, you have to keep up with new medical practices and technology for the rest of your practicing life.
You do have a responsibilty for your own healthcare, but it is not prescribing yourself drugs or deciding which method of surgery you want, its following up on what the doctor advises. Take your medicine as instructed, go to rehab when instructed, dont eat foods that the doctor tells you are bad, that is your responsibility.
