there is a lot of bogus garbage in the medical field


I agree. Are doctors scientists? My husband thinks so. I think I'd say no. We can debate that another time if I'm still here.

have decided my one way to, perhaps, contribute in a meaningful way is to go back to school and become a certified special ed teacher


You'd be good at this. [/quote]

I'd be glad to talk about Dr. issues. I suppose some are scientists. But we need more true healers and they are usually drug dispensers and not really all that good at diagnosing. I wish there were more Dr. House's out there : ) (As far as diagnostitions). I was nearly killed the year of the last election. I had appendicitis for 6 months that went misdiagnosed and even though after one hospitalization already and continuing symptoms (when I was, again, put on antibiotics with it not being looked into further), Nov. 2nd it finally burst and I had to go to the hospital by ambulance. (That was a first). Was growing 2 kinds of bacteria. Luckily the infection in my abdomen was not far spread.

Thanks for the encouragement. I've pretty much decided, but want to be absolutely sure. Will likely start the beginning of the year with school.
