Face it, doctors are hazardous to your health. At least three impromptu studies have been conducted when doctors went on strike. In every case, the death rate dropped for the duration. In 1973, in Israel, doctors went on strike for 29 days. The Jerusalem Burial Society reported 50% fewer deaths!. In 1976, in Columbia, doctors went on strike for 52 days. The Morticians Association of Columbia reported a 35% decrease in deaths. In 1978, in Great Britain, doctors went on strike. A decrease was again reported.
Now, for the most part, it was not so much life-threatening surgeries which were effected, as it is elective surgeries. There are certainly areas where doctors can save lives. Unfortunately, they tend not to be entirely honest about risks which they place patients under. Given the figures above, these must be some very significant risks.
One of these risks is called Iatrogenic disease, which results from the use of drugs. This term is seldom heard among lay people, but this type of disease is very common. One souce claimed that one in seven patients hospitalized are there due to an iatrogenic disease, and 30% of the people hospitalized pick up more in the hospital.(1) Most of these are preventable with simple tests, or by using drugs in their natural herbal form. This, however, touches on two of the real reasons why doctors have to be licensed:
Rothschild investments in the drug companies are served by demanding a reliance on refined and patented drugs, to the exclusion of milder, gentler herbal medicines, chiropractic, homeopathy, or other less invasive methods.
Drugs and surgery weaken the immune system, making the patient increasingly more susceptable to other illnesses, forcing them back into a doctor's care, ensuring a greater profit for doctors. Licensing essentually removes the risk that doctors would otherwise incur by practicing medicine in this manner. As such, licensing turns medicine into a dangerous scam.
