How come there be doctors be qualified , and still be not competent. Tis the bell curve of reality. The band of fantastic doctors at one end at tother, those that should be struck off the list. Not all that regurgitate the text word perfect, be able to practice the ART of medicine and then there are many that barely get all the details of the text regurgitated, are fantastic at fixing the broken body. 'Tis why Lawyers make fantastic monies in medical stupid fatal mistakes , but the old boys club is strong to prevent club fees being suspended. Back in the 1600's it was better not to see the doctor , in many cases ye lived longer, thankfully it has improved since days of blood letting. It also be known that there have been practitioners of the Art of Medicine that have never passed the test, but were successful in not killing their patients but have been fully accepted by their patients as very good. There many Diploma mills around, and not all schools of Medicine turn out top notch practitioners of of the ART. Buyer beware:
