As a 30-year paramedic I've unfortunately witnessed more "ego-errors" tomfoolery and murder, than I can count. And for 30 years I've taken notes regarding just this subject. I've kept these notes stuffed into an old briefcase in the garage. One day not long ago I realized the lid would no longer close properly, because of the sheer volume of little scraps of notes, patient charts, magazine covers and precription sheets, scribbled with literally thousands of bizarre behavior anecdotes I'd seen. That's when I decided it was time for a book, possibly the only one of its kind: America's Dumbest Doctors, which will be out in August of this year. Trust me when I say it is assuredly non-fiction.

Incidentally, of the 3-dozen medical professionals I list on my "gratitude" page, one of them is Dr. Mercola, who, as Sidney Wolfe and Lucien Leape, are true American Patriots. The debt of gratitude the citizenry owes these gentleman is more than can be repaid.

Thank you, Dr. Mercola, for the courage to take on the good fight.

If you add the number of deaths caused by the proper use of prescription drugs, then the American Health Care System becomes the leading cause of death in the US.

This article is a good reason why one should avoid doctors and mainstream medical practice if at all possible. Prevention is the best medicine for taking care of your health and well-being. A lot of it is just simple common sense approaches concerning diet, exercise, sleep, stress reduction, sunlight, supplements, and avoiding environmental toxins. One must actively research, study and act apon these approaches for better health and not by taking a passive approach by simply going to the doctor a few times a year. You'll end up in the grave sooner than you think.
