Good post Audrey.

Just because there is little other choice, doesn't mean he has to trust, or like it.

Don't you think it's just a little hypocritical to 'rubbish' the medical profession and then use them when it suits?

And I am not specifically referring to stevmk2 when I say this, but to all of those that do it.

Absolutely Pats - now c'mon you lot moaning about the medical profession just put up and shut-up. Don't criticise or challenge just be passive consumers.

Good grief who on earth do we think we are, daring to use them and then show dissatisfaction - what is the world coming to. Anybody would think we were in the 21st century rather than the 1950s.

Re: Doctors - do you trust them?

And yet we're hypocrites if we "rubbish" them?

I've noticed you often use "confused" button - funny that.

As you wish.

But if you read my post properly I wouldn't need to repeat what you call my 'senseless one-liners'
