DEAD DOCS DON'T LIE (unless it is in their graves)

No doubt, many readers of this blog will have seen or heard the other variation of this theme: DEAD DOCTORS DON'T LIE! The implication is that live doctors tend to lie, especially to patients, and sometimes this was at the request of family members in cases of 'incurable',unmentionable cases. Certainly, the old family doctors are nearly an extinct breed. All this now pertains to health care,etc. which is becoming a major problem for people in the United States. However, despite alternative medicines, and practices, people are still locked into insurance plans that are expensive, hooked on pharmaceuticals(manufactured by large corporations and prescribed by physicians,which leads many to conclude they are acting in collusion or concert), and unable to free themselves from orthodox cures and treatments,etc. More has to be said about all this. But the rest of the world,(the so-called 'Third World') tends to rely on either no modern medical procedures or plans or doctors, but work with 'native' or 'traditional' or primitive medical means and ways.

KILL OR CURE

Many medicines, over the ages, from simple herbs to complex compounds have both cured and killed the recipients of such, who may have been suffering from a multitude of diseases,illnesses, maladies, and so on,too numerous to diagnose here or describe,since the purpose of this is not to create hypochondriacs!
