> 49erYes I may not have been totally accurate in my assesment of your perceptions. and yes my apoligies to Maxime. Possibly there needs to be another thread in babble. There seems to be an attempt to draw a logical extrapolation of pscyhiatry that is in fact is not logical. What I am seeing from some:
1. We live in a system called capitalism that is profit driven. Yes that is true
2. P-docs take part in that system and there are profit driven. Partly true. Yes I'm sure that they enjoy making a good living and having a good life style. But that may not be their only driving force.
3. P-docs are totally profit driven. Not true.4. The pharmacuetical industry is profit driven and all their products are the products of greed. Partly true. That has been the case in isolated instances. But that does not mean all are lairs and thieves. They are often profit driven to create good and reputable products.
One can not assume that because one takes part in a capitalist system that all are liars and thieves. Yes unforunately in some cases but in many cases not true and good pruducts by hard working scientists who take pride in their work.
Wanting to make a lot of money is not a crime and does not mean you are a liar and a crook.
Some here do not like the capilist system and are jumping to the conclusion that therefore those who enjoy the fruits of it are not good people. Everyone is entitled to their day in court before being labeled a bad person.
this is not just a observation I have made of some here and is a very disturbing trend that a forum for med discussion has become a forum for bashing the system. Is this the proper forum for that?
Again my apoligies to Maxime.
Please just don't make assumptions about a barrel that may have some bad apples that the entire barrel is rotten.
Good luck to you also 49er. We are all striving for good health. perhaps the alt forum is a better place for you. An observation is that the med people don't hang out in the alt forum claiming it is bogus. Personally I wouldn't go to a cigar lovers forum if i were not a smoker to harangue them on the evils of tobacco. Just an observation and nothing more.
