: : I want to say I agree, needless medical procedures are sucking us dry.  BUT,
: : before you go ballistic and say that all doctors are money sucking thugs,
: : just remember that I am about to invest $200,000 (a mortgage, with no place

: 	Pompous asshole.  Hope you get sued for malpractice and
: lose your license.


: : going to make millions when I get out?  No.  I'm going to be in family

: : Rebecca, soon to be Dr. Rebecca

: 	Moron. . . soon to be unemployed moron.

Wait just a sec, I have spent thousands of dollars in the process of getting
into medical school, invested 4 and a half years in a bachelor's degree so
that I could even be comeptitive enough to get in, have spent years working
civil service jobs to make sure that this is what I want to do with my life,
and I'm being a pompous asshole, because I'm getting an education that will
help others?  

I sincerely doubt I will ever be unemployed, because I don't make crass
assumptions about other people, nor do I impress my agenda on other people.

I hope you never face a life threatening illness.  However, if you do, I
hope the doctor that saves your life is spared being called a "pompous
asshole."
