Its called a database, you don't need the doctors after you get reputable info once

You're totally right. If we have computers for docs well all have the black plague going around again in no time. |

How about we end all illegals, welfare leeches, aids infected idiots, and drugged out addicts from gaining "free access" to our Hospitals? 
I personally don't care to "pay" out of my pocket for that shit...

This is fucking hilarious. "Evil" corporations send the jobs overseas just to save money and people like georgie scream bloody murder and blame the JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO's.
But its okey-dokey if the Doctors are replaced by computers. lolol Only rich Doctors will be out of work then.
But just so I have this straight...finding a cheaper way to make, I don't know...something important like pencils...is corporate greed at its worst! But replacing Doctors, who often make life and death decisions, well...Lets just type "bleeding from my ears" into WEB MD and get a diagnosis.
LOLOLOLOL...Georgie is a funny guy!  |

Actually george many Physicians have been trying for decades to get the health care system reformed.
Physicians for a National Health Program - Health Care is a Human Right
The Physicians' Proposal
Marcia Angell, MD
Past Editor
New England
Journal of MedicineWe endorse a fundamental change in America's health care - the creation of a comprehensive National Health Insurance (NHI) Program. Such a program - which in essence would be an expanded and improved version of Medicare - would cover every American for all necessary medical care.

Take a look at their proposal George, it makes common sense. And yes it lets the doctors stilll make a good living. Let me know what you think about the details of the proposal.
My sons a doctor, my sister is a doctor. My family is filled with health care workers. if your going to have a heart attack you should do it at one of my family reunions, your chances of survival are good with all the Doc's in my family. My sisters been signed on to this program since the early 90's . My son and the practice he is at just signed on as well.

I would make a point, in support of George. The information coming from a computer would be the input of many doctors...and more likely to be correct than just the one doctor you are visiting. Don't you agree that many minds are better than one? |

I sure as hell do, but health is in the hands of the individual and right now besides their exorbitant salaries there is nothing in health care to reform
