Medicine and your license

For the purpose of the offense of practicing medicine without a license, the "practice of medicine"
means the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, cure, or relieving of a human disease, ailment, defect,
complaint, or other physical or mental condition, by attendance, advice, device, diagnostic test, or
other means, or offering, undertaking, attempting to do, or holding oneself out as able to do, any
of these acts.

You cannot have a really good monopoly today without help from the government. The medical monopoly
reigns supreme with not ony federal laws but State and local laws protecting "their rights." With
medical insurance supplying the money part, and the FDA policing any intruders, the medical monopoly
is still going full bore. Then you have the attorneys ready and willing to sue if you do not follow
the rules, the rules of "usual and customary care."

It truly is sad how little room a modern doctor has to provide his patient with something other than
treatments that he knows will end up killing the patient.

An the debunkers here support the killing effort of the medical monopoly. Truly sad.

I see it at protecting the majority of consumers who prefer that their medical doctors have
documented credentials,,,

without them..anyone..including Janny Drew could stand on a street corner and babble about
sujbects she has no knowledge of...what she calls "actual experience" is obviously not
knowledge..esp when she butts into every thread out there...most of the time not even reading what
she posts..nor understanding it if she reads it..then if anyone questions her,,she simply reposts
over and over again....

By defining what a doctor or a nurse or any health care provider actually is & what they can or
cannot do, the gov't. is merely establishing the parameters of various jobs & their educational
requirements -- just as with regulations of many professions/trades. Those who claim to heal with
prayer are not forced to go to med school, nor should they be. Those who prescribe potentially
contraindicated substances are mandated to have training WRT those substances, A&P, etc. & such
training is definitely in the patient's interest. Restricting the use of surgery to those with
surgical training is reasonable. Expecting a licensed nurse to be able to safely administer
medication is just as logical. Having definitions of various jobs lets patients know what education
they can expect their doctor, nurse, X-ray tech, etc. to have. Conventional providers can & often do
include alt. treatment/advice in their practice -- they are not forbidden by anyone from doing so.
Insurance companies decide what services are covered, what professionals they will pay. That isn't
established by the gov't. here in the States.

The FDA has nothing to do with scope of practice in the health care field.

So, dissatisfied consumers exercise their right to sue.....

They sue conventional docs all the time when they think the doc did something wrong & suing an alt.
provider is no different. If a provider (alt. or mainstream) wants to participate in the health care
arena, they expose themselves to that risk. If alt. medicine has satisfied patients, lawsuits will
be no more of a problem than they are with most MD's.

The vast majority of MD's benefit their patients. They provide services that usually improve
the overall quality of life for those they treat -- share information that can enable patients
to maintain their own good health -- & try to alleviate pain & suffering when possible. There
are easier ways to make more money than by being a doctor. Ditto for nurses & others who work
in the field.

Luckily, helping others & seeing the benefits our work brings people is very satisfying.

The skeptics here expect claims based on research, labels on products that are accurate, reporting
of adverse effects of treatments, & professionals who present their educational/experiential
credentials honestly.

Bla bla bla, same ol same ol. Can't you come up with something more convincing for those of us who

Requiring licensure is a way to establish basic standards. It stops those with no training in (as an
example) surgery from doing it. We expect those behind the wheel of a car to have met certain
criteria to drive. Other professions that don't require a gov't. isssued license still require that
those who work in the profession meet specific standards -- teachers require college degrees in most
areas of the country being such a situation.

> It works for carpenters and plumbers

Not sure about plumbers -- but carpenters aren't professionally licensed by the gov't. It hasn't
brought down the amount they charge.

> just as it works for doctors who wish to limit their competition.

It doesn't "limit competition" -- there are docs everywhere. In the cases of MD's specializing in
unusual problems, the number of patients requring that specialized treatment is what limits
practitioner numbers.

And drivers' licenses don't guarantee a safe driver -- but simply *hoping* a professional has met
minimal educational standards or that they might figure out how to perform a surgical procedure
leaves consumers at the mercy of anybody who comes down the pike. It also leaves them little
recourse when gross incompetence leads to serious injury or death. Without minimal standards, there
are no guidelines at all. Malpractice would become something patients need to accept without so much
as a grumble.

Not so at all. Training for DC's, naturopaths, etc. doesn't include surgery because *those health
care philosophies don't include it*. Just as a massage therapist's training doesn't include the
prescription of drugs *because it's not part of massage*. Nutritionists don't fill cavities --
nurses don't perform chiropractic adjustments -- the list could go on. To expect that a health care
professional would be trained in modalities/skills that are not even a part of their purpose, that
contradict their approach to wellness is absurd.

Once again, totally untrue. A nurse is expected to use his/her nursing judgement & if that
contradicts an order, they are obligated to act in what they evaluate is the patient's best
interest. I've questioned docs in such situations -- checked to make sure dosages are right, that no
apparent contraindications exist for using a particular med, reminded MD's about considerations like
patient allergies & what the patient wanted or didn't want. On more than a couple of occasions I
declined to follow a specific order I thought would negatively impact a patient -- & was NEVER even
reprimanded (let alone fired) after I informed my supervisor or the MD of my decision. [And unless a
nurse works directly for a doctor, he's not the one who hires or fires a nurse. I ultimately answer
to the hospital or other facility where I work. The clinic where I currently work employs the
doctors & the MD Medical Director there -- just as they employ me.]

It would be YOU lying with that one. An oncologist in any state can prescribe supplements -- massage
-- meditation -- or any other alt. modality to a patient. There is NO statute that prohibits a
doctor from encouraging the use of cell salts -- crystals -- or any other non-traditional therapy.
The MD is mandated not to deceive a patient with false information about various courses of
treatment, whether alt. or conventional -- & if *that* requirement is not met, then the doc has not
provided basic standards of care.

Many docs utilize alt. therapies along with more traditional treatments. Oncologists often prescribe
massage, acupuncture, meditation, exercise, supplements, etc.

> >The FDA has nothing to do with scope of practice in the health care field.

> Who writes the rules for diagnosis?

Apples & oranges -- scope of practice only defines which professionals are qualified to do what.
State & sometimes Federal gov'ts. determine scope of practice, nothing to do with the FDA.

There *are* no "rules for diagnosis". There are commonly acknowledged diagnostic procedures for many
disorders, but they are guidelines only -- not written in stone. As technology advances, as more
research gives us more information about various disorders & health care problems, those guidelines
change to reflect what we've found out. There are also definitions of diseases that outline s/s of
each. The diganosis of HTN involves not just elevated BP readings, but considers the frequency &
consistency of such readings, the circumstances where the increased BP is observed, etc. Once again,
most disorders are defined by generally acepted guidelines, not laws imposed by any gov't. or
governmental agency.

They are not the same. Just as seizures could be caused by a tumor or by a blow to the head,
disorders sharing the same s/s could have very different etiologies & respond to very different
treatments.

If there *were* "rules for diagnosis", there would no misdiagnosed patients.

> >So, dissatisfied consumers exercise their right to sue.....

Follow along, CEE. If staying "in the flock" prevented patients from winning lawsuits, how come docs
get sued & patients win???? Your argument doesn't hold up. Anybody can sue anyone for anything at
anytime. The fact that some of the biggest charlatans -- alt. & conventional -- don't get sued also
pokes big ol' holes in your statement.

Your entire post contains nothing more than misinformation & outright untruths. Citing conspiracies
that don't exist doesn't change that.

Sure I am. Since I do not sputter, but cogently discet your pathetic baloney, you just have to
whine, weasel and wiggle your way out of being logically cornered.

I DO feel sorry for you. But I feel even more so for anyone who has the misfortune of knowing or
having to live near or with you.
