Let's get some balance here. How many people do you know were damaged by bad doctors? How many people do you know where doctors gave them bad advice, inappropriate treatment, or wrongly prescribed drugs. How many people do you know where doctors caused damage indirectly through drug side effects, or directly by botched operations?
Countless stories show cover ups. Doctors get away with murder. Don't take my word for it. Search the Net. I did.
Here's one website.

It shows doctors kill more patients than guns in the USA. And that's saying something! :-(
'ACCIDENTAL' DEATHS CAUSED BY GUNS
-- There are 80,000,000 (80 million) gun owners in the United States.
-- There are 1,500 accidental deaths from guns every year, regardless of age group
-- Therefore the accidental death percentage per gun owner is 0.0000188.
'ACCIDENTAL' DEATHS CAUSED BY DOCTORS
-- There are 700,000 (less than 1 million) physicians in the United States.
-- There are 120,000 accidental deaths in the United States caused by physicians every year
-- Therefore the accidental death percentage per physician is 0.171.
For non-statisticians, this means that doctors are 9,000 times more likely to kill you than a gun. Not reassuring.
There are laws about murders with guns. Even accidental deaths by guns are often taken to Court. Where's the law to protect patients against bad doctors? If your loved is killed by a doctor, and you complain, the complaint is buried in a mountain of doctor-jargon and medical excuses. Doctors get away with most deaths they cause patients, because most relatives are too in shock with grief to take the complaint far enough.
It's not enough to say accidents happen. Why don't police automatically investigate doctors who kill say 10 patients? Or should they investigate every single case, as they would any other murder?
Sometimes, taking private Court action against a doctor seems the only option.
Conversely, out of all the many millions of Reiki and other energy therapists around the world, how many have you ever heard has caused a death? I did a quick search, and can't find one!
Isn't it about time doctors were punished more harshly for damaging or killing patients?
Isn't it about time safer options such as Reiki and other energy therapies were accepted.
After all, statistics show we can safely help 71% of the patients doctors can't help. With no known deaths.
