This is surely one of the biggest loads of shit anyone has ever laid outside a toilet bowl:"It has been described as ‘witchcraft’ by no less an authority than the British Medical Association.I've said it before and I'm saying it again: if doctors want to gain control over their profession again, they need to stop - cold - and tell bastards, like Andrew Lansley, to get out or people will die, period. The choice is his.
But homeopathy spending on the NHS could now rise despite the Health Service facing drastic cuts.
Health Secretary Andrew Lansley (above) yesterday rejected calls from MPs on the Commons science committee to ban funding of the unproven treatment.
He effectively gave the green light for spending on homeopathy to go up, because of his plans for patients to be able to ‘shop around’ until they find a GP willing to prescribe complementary therapies.
This means more patients will have access to such treatments. There will be no restrictions on the advertising of homeopathic treatments, he added."
That doctors refuse to do that, because of their oath, is bullshit. Being involved with quackery is not your job. These NewAgers are making a mockery of you, personally, and medicine professionally. If you can't see that, then you're too stupid to be called doctors. Oh, fuck it.
Damn you weak-kneed assholes all to hell. You're worthless. I spit on you for letting this stand.
For shame.
To me, homeopathy is ignorant superstition, but if people want to spend their own money on it, cool. Where I draw the line is being expected to pay for it, either directly through tax-driven redistribution of wealth or indirectly through being forced into insurance pools that are made more expensive by this nonsense.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is exactly why I don't want single payer or any other form of nationalized healthcare. I do NOT want these bozos making decisions about my medical care.
