Rebecca,
   Many young people are drawn into "service to mankind" careers such
as medicine, politics, law,  law enforcment, etc., via mind
conditioning techniques which appeal to naive, romantic individuals
with an altruistic bent.  It begins early in life.  Ask any grade
school child what they want to be when they grow up, and you will see
it in action.

   The image of their dreams are shattered when they are introduced to
the harsh realities of just how far they must sell themselves out in
serving the controlling, governing bodies (AMA's, ABA's, and the
burgeoning insurance, pharmaceutical, and health care industries),
which, more often than not, preclude an honest medical practitioner
from fulfilling his/her Hypocratic oath in healing the sick while
making an honest living.
 
   Everyone, regardless of what their chosen field may be, will  meet,
sooner or later, with their particular moment of truth which will
dictate for them either a future of freedom and integrity  or
life-long enslavement to a faceless, soulless, established machine in
return for a lucrative practice.  

   Medicine is no longer controlled by doctors, but by corrupt,
exploitive, hardline business people with an insatiable eye for
escalating profits.  What else would you call an industry that would
bankrupt whole families while stripping the elderly of life long
accumulations, through emotional manipulation and foisting hard sell,
unnecessary treatments on them when they are most vulnerable?

   Rebecca, I have noted your comments made above, prior to your
actual entrance into the medical profession.  It remains to be seen
what you will say once you are ensconced in the machinery for a few
years and your actual experiences expose to you the truth of your
industry.  I wager it will lead to disillusionment (show me an honest
doctor who is not disillusioned) of your present belief.

   Until "true" doctors who have retained their  integrity, are able
to "throw the profit-chasing ruling rascals out" of controlling the
medical profession, I am afraid that comments such as yours are only
empty rhetoric based in untested belief.

   Rebecca, you will find the remainder of your years in this lifetime
will be spent in your testing through experience your present beliefs,
dispelling the untruths which have been conditioned into you through
your involvement in our "educational system."

out like a ripple from a pebble dropped into a
