Well thanks for giving nurses their credit due because it is true that WE ARE THE ONES there at the hospital/nursing homes 24/7......covering for MD's.
But I don't trust many physicians now. I used to think Docs were like gods!!! Until I worked with them for 18 years now. They are just humans. Some are good and some are idiots! But I was mainly worrying about my teen granddaughters on this subject. Genital warts, cancer, STD's are not something I want them to have. They are going to have sex. At some point. All vaccinations carry a risk. Many think that there is a connection to autism even. But you have to weigh the risks against the disease it prevents and I personally recommend it. Too late once theY contract it. But yes there is greed and profiteering even in my business, but I try to do best by my patients. I don't like many Docs myself, but a few I actually idolize. Be careful and educate yourself on your health issues. cyberworld is a great place to do research on any subject...You have to be an advocate for yourself and your loved ones. I am lucky because 4 of us in my family are RN's and one in law is a RT[resp tech]....so we know the good docs here and the quacks.
Have a good one ...SJ
