And nurses don't care about helping people, they only care about their paychecks and the "power" they feel by dominating their helpless patients. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Small Town Doctor Author: Thomas R to Stan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: Friday, September 25, 2009, 08:26: pm I am from the USA, Mr. Stan, and your comment saying ridiculous to my comment, is bad judgement. If you are a doctor/nurse hater, then I am curious as to where you get your physical's performed? Maybe some backlot where it's a quick cash payment, then you take the crook's word that your health is good? Again, bad judgement on your part, but it's your life. And the part about "nurses don't care about helping people, they only care about their paychecks and the "power" they feel by dominating their helpless patients" is a useless tone to rant. Maybe you just haven't found the right doctor for the procedure's you need. There are many to choose from. Doctor's and lawyer's practically rule the yellow page's of the phonebook)-I have been going to a great doctor for many year's. I have outstanding health and a flawless background of any bad visit's. So good luck on your search, and happy health to you from a small town resident. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Generally by age 6 an oral reading was deemed appropriate. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
