When I in a counseling group for an ailment, a guest doctor there advocated not getting certain blood tests on cancer patients because that money could be saved to vaccinate the world's children. I kid you not! What did he think a patient was going to do: 1) get the price of the test and write a check for that amount to some nation that was vaccinating children. Maybe the patient was already doing that, etc. etc. etc. There are certain doctors who have their priorities confused; and are just plain nuts! Dee Dee |
