Comes as no surprise. Business as usual. I am just grateful that I have become aware of the pitfalls of western medicine.

Thank you for your comment. I just point out that it isn't western medicine that is the problem, it's the pharmaceutical companies, who have lost context of their reason for being - providing cure and treatment for fellow human suffering. I am not one to condemn all aspects of Capitalism and am largely a Ayn Rand-type in fact, which will come as a surprise to most pseudo-conservatives, who are really just mouthing the lines the Republicans are feeding them, not true 'Objectivists' -again, due to loss of context.
It is absurd to let a business group control our medicines, and not the practitioners and followers of the Hippocratic Oath. The business people of the pharmaceutical and Insurance industries should advise the curers of the cost of r&d and other such useful accounting information, and not control the decisions of what is curative, or even palliative.
The control of the medical community by the few is causing interns to sew forceps in bodies after 20 hour days to meet intern requirements, as the controllers hold down the number of citizens who will even be allowed to become Physicians. This is relevant as the Corporate Attorneys tell us we shouldn't be allowed to collect proper damages for the errors of inept and over-worked physicians who make mistakes that end or maim fellow citizens. Again, CONTEXT people. The cause of increased civil filings is not due to us being lying greedy ambulance chasers, but rather because of increased injury and death in the over-worked, under-staffed, under-paid medical centers, AND the wrongful medicines being passed out .
Just a look at the number of healthy people who die while in or as result of disease or other infection contracted while in a Hospital is eye-opening as to the extent of the problem as it presently is. The victim of a life altering injury caused by those who have contracted to help but end up hurting, is no different from a defective-car salesman deceiving one into the sale, or representing a quality of product and saying it's not his liability because of a 'law' or statute which he abided, such as sale-as-is warranty postings. It is our being mesmerized by paper-law which blinds us from the moral responsibility we have to each other to simply DO WHAT WE SAY AND SAY WHAT WE MEAN; all without any regard to any law,rule, regulation, policy, or statute. Western medicine, in and of itself is fine.
I believe it is the pharmaceutical and insurance companies that (Here I'm supposed to state 'who' because the Supreme Court has held that they are 'persons' under the "law";I'll take the 'F') control this science and that, by nature, don't care who dies from their work. They don't have to watch their loved ones die or suffer from their immoral products being marketed to the sick and dying - or else. To put a 'cap' on how much a life is worth is more than indicative of where we are heading because of this paradigm, it is a scathing indictment of all of us. Capitalism and some aspects of our life just don't co-incide and we must face this fact in our discussion of solutions to this problem.
