With or without health insurance try , try to NOT SEE YOUR DOCTOR !

Letter: Zak Mettger: Congress must act on CHIP or kids will suffer

Any doctor or dentist who refuses to treat a sick child is unworthy of a state medical license. FOR PROFIT health care in the United States is a daily crime against humanity. Reckless QUACK medicine and " cures " are even worse than cruel neglect. 

I am presently reading a book written by a GOOD medical doctor exposing the disastrous consequence of unnecessary " screening ". He writes about one 70 year old retired businessman whose wife nags him for a prostate cancer screening FREE at some dreary mall.

 The man feels fine. Later the test results suggest a concern. He submits to exploratory surgery . After months of incontinence and impotence, he is prescribed VIAGRA. Then he dies of blood poisoning from a perforated bladder ( caused by radiation treatment " prevention " ) - clinging to his mother's rosary beads. 

The good wife had been brainwashed by endless SEE YOUR DOCTOR radio commercials. If a senior takes them all seriously, he or she will be in some quack doctor's office every day. 

With or without health insurance try , try to STAY FAR AWAY from YOUR DOCTOR .
