A peversely false analogy, because doctor-caused deliberate killings are
very few, while gun-related non-accidental fatalities are extremely
numerous, as any big-city resident can tell you.

All this is off-topic, but gun-nuts should be screwed down every time they
get loose.

I have listened to a number of programs related to medicine. I didn't
know you were a program listener.

Yes! In fact, the "Doctors will kill you" topic is hard to avoid on US
domestic shortwave radio. There are several almost literate hosts who
dedicate their shows to exposing the evils of established medical practice.
Most of the antiestablished medicine hosts are kinda boring and unmemorable.
However, among them was one of SW radio's greatest conspiranoics, Len
Horowitz D.D.S. Dr. Len insisted that hospitals were infiltrated by the
Nazi Party wing of the New World Order. These Nazi MDs were murdering
people so the Illuminati could steal their victim's property. And let's not
forget Dr. Len's opposite number, Tom Valentine, who's been selling right
wing antisemitic theories, along with the pills and health nostrums, for
over a thousand years.

Well, Tom Valentine sounds like he's at least thousand years old.

No one used the word DELIBERATE except you. Does it really matter if it
is deliberate or not -- if you're dead?


All this is off-topic,

If you will recall this is rec.radio.shortwave and I was reporting what
I had heard on short wave radio and THEN proceeded to follow it up with
a web search, since shortwave radio doesn't have a rewind or instant
replay button. ;-)

CG,

"because doctor-caused deliberate killings are very few,"

It's called ABORTION and Yes it is 'Infant-cide' which is
.. . . a fancy word for "Murder" plain and simple.

In the USofA Doctors KILL over One Million (1,000,000)
innocent babies every year by performing ABORTIONS.

Thanks. The facts as presented, I'm reasonably certain, did not even
take into account the 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 totally innocent unborn
babies DELIBERATELY murdered every year. I didn't even consider that
when presenting the material, or replying to the referenced comment.

I agree 100%. I wonder what percentage of physicians perform abortions. It
certainly is murder!
