I wonder if Carson won, if he would make everyone in the United States become vegetarian? Staunch SDA's are vegetarians.
As for doctors, I get so tired of this lie about Big Pharma and how terrible docs are. My son-in-law and my daughter-in-law are both residents. My DIL will be a full doc after the end of May. If you knew how incredibly hard those two work, you would back off on the rhetoric. My SIL right now is working 20 hour shifts.They literally rarely get a day off, in 5 years of residency. They have to do night on call shifts, then they get a day "off" on Saturday or Sunday! Like those weren't their days off anyway. Both of them are incredibly smart and hard working, top of their classes. But seriously, they are going to age 20 years in their 5 years residency.
If anyone at MacDonalds or a garbage dump had to put in the unpaid hours they do, it would be screaming all over the news. It is virtual slavery.
As for "Big Pharma" my life changed completely when I got on very expensive biologics 10 years ago. Before that, I was bed ridden and house bound. I was able to do my MDiv, ride my bike almost 100 km a week outside and help out in my church and community in various ways. The only problem for me with Big Pharma, is that they are tired of putting out the R &D money, and they are not finding new and exciting ways to treat severe auto-immune diseases. I've pretty much burned through them all, at this point. But I am incredibly grateful for meds that got me out of bed, and allowed me some extra fun years with my kids and grandkids!
