That and I'm all for *education* vs telling someone what I believe, and that what I believe is the best approach. I think it's especially important with health care.
Agreed. People have to make the best decisions they can make for themselves based on all the information they can obtain, including that from their doctors. Doctors don't know everything and yes, drug manufacturing companies are making a bundle off of too many prescriptions. However, I don't think this should be made into a conspiracy. Money is indeed the root of all evil....that should be taken into consideration when doing anything. Money and greed and power make people do strange things. We should glean information and make decisions. But when someone begins to claim authority, beware.
