Agreed, and I'm part of the problem! But even a mediocre doc SHOULD have enough knowledge to treat most basic things that are above a paramedic level. It'll also be harder to do damage to someone as meds run out ...


I didn't mean to disparage anyone on the forum. I suppose I was just reacting to my personal experience. I am chronically ill, and I live in a small town. I had to travel almost halfway across the country to find a doctor who could treat me. I'm sure there are many excellent doctors, medics, and nurses out there, and on this forum. It just may take a bit of work finding them.
