No offense to Doctor Dan, but I was wondering if you would trust everything your doctor would tell you in terms of your health. Luckily, I'm still pretty young and in solid health not having crossed this bridge yet, but I have known some elderly people who were fine, living a long and healthy life. Then they were diagnosed with cancer, underwent treatment on a Doctor's reccommendation and dropped dead shortly after. My gut tells me if they were to just go on living their lives, they would have had a few good years left. Moreover, there have been many drugs approved by the FDA later proven to do absolutely nothing, drugs pushed aggresively on people by doctors. I am also reminded not to always trust your doctor by another story I read yesterday. This basketball player had his testicle removed, and it turns out the supposed tumor was benign. Isn't there a way to tell this before surgery? What it comes down to is that I am always somewhat skeptical when it comes to reading or being given health related advice. I would always do my own thorough reseach and leave drastic action by a doctor as an ultimate last resort. Furthemore, I place my ultimate health and destiny much more in G-d's hands than in another human being. This is still not to say that I don't respect many who enter the medical profession with genuine motives. Certainly, they do a great deal of good as well. Thoughts?
