>>Yes. That's the one that cops use to justify shooting innocent people, too.

Yes, that's the irrelevant comeback armchair critics like to use to justify their antisocial posturing. ;-) If you're trying to say that doctors or policemen set out to hurt people then tack that to your yardarm so we can see who you are. If you're saying that you are an oracle who always would choose correctly- then lets see that also. Otherwise why not participate in discussions re fixing the problem, not the blame?

>>JFK had another good one which he applied to himself after the Bay of Pigs fiasco.
>>"Success has many parents
>>Failure is an orphan."

Not in medicine, especially in the USA where ambulance chasers always try to ensure that somebody always is to blame.

>>OK.. let's ban the retrospectoscope. No more trotting out Salk and Pasteur every time some one points out all the nonsensical crap that MD's have filled victims with over the years.

The crap I see is the sudden non sequitur of Salk and Pasteur and loaded terminology about victims. Happy to discuss actual issues but a bee in your bonnet is your own affair.
