Re: ..do you consider an M.D. a professional?

Doctors have to follow what is considered "widely acceptable standard care" in treating patients. All MD's are subject to peer review if anything comes into question during a patients treatment or follow up. The insurance and the malpractice boards are always second guessing most Dr's decisions as it is. Staying board certified costs a medical professional big time if they want to try a different approach, no matter what happens to the real disease. If they stike out on their own, they will be left all alone by the mainstream medical establishment they got their degree from in the first place. Quite a cliff to jump off for some of the highest paid professionals on this planet.

My dad has a mold in his chest that has clouded up his right lung lobes, one by one, and now after the second surgery, spread to his thymus gland area behuind the breastbone. The surgeon did not want to touch it, so he just closed him up. From the get go, the doctor was sure the mold from California was causing all the problems, but they have yet to do anything about fixing that mess, just chemo and radiation since dad won't do another surgery. I'm real frustrated as he will do what the doctor accepts, not to much from Curezone has been accepted by her. maybe her eyes will be opened when she gets a cancer in 20-40 years. It will be to late for my dad.
