Survey shows many Americans trust God more than doctors to save lives

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Here’s the quote from the article. Read this and then let’s discuss.

An eye-opening survey reveals widespread belief that divine intervention can revive dying patients. And, researchers said, doctors “need to be prepared to deal with families who are waiting for a miracle.”

More than half of randomly surveyed adults — 57 percent — said God’s intervention could save a family member even if physicians declared treatment would be futile. And nearly three-quarters said patients have a right to demand such treatment.

When asked to imagine their own relatives being gravely ill or injured, nearly 20 percent of doctors and other medical workers said God could reverse a hopeless outcome.

The first thing I’d like to know is what is the demographic of the people they surveyed. For all we know they could have surveyed 100 religious extremist freaks who also believe they don’t need to work because, “God will provide.” Sure, it says its a random survey but I want more details.

I know that when someone you care about is sick or dying people are going to pray that they survive. Regardless of how religious a person is, praying always seems to be an instinctive reaction to a situation like that. But as soon as you start saying that God has more power than the doctors I start to say, “Whoa, wait a minute here people.”

What scares me here is not the people who keep praying long after the doctor says that there is nothing more they can do. What scares me are the people who ignore doctors because they believe that God will take care of them.

Guess what people? If there is a God out there, he created doctors for a reason.

Medical Tourism an alternative to high health care costs

Friday, May 30th, 2008

I know that we have got to get the cost of health care down here in the States and make it affordable. But for now we have to find cheap health care on our own which brings me to this little article that I had found today.

With the ever increasing health care costs here in the States, there is actually an alternative and it is called Medical Tourism. It sounds like a crazy idea, but this idea has had an increase of Americans going over seas to third world countries to have major surgeries done. That increase has been about 20% per year according to England’s Financial Times and it has been noted that the savings have been up to 75%! I think that this is definitely an interesting article and something to perhaps think about if you are planning on having a major surgery done. Link.

We need to start getting it together America!

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

As We The People of the United States, why don’t we start the process of destroying the Democratic (Communists) and Republican (Alleged Christian Conservatives)parties. Basically instead of Americans vs. Americans, it should be Americans vs. The Government. Americans need to get away from the political party bull crap and think for themselves, remember freedom involves personal responsibility and accountability. If you behave and take care of your own life you’ll reap the benefits, but if you wanna mess your life up and your families life then you have to be prepared to take it up the rear for your actions. Quit being lazy and crying to the government about how you can’t find a job or how can I afford health care. Well, don’t by the HDTV, the new car or quit having babies, it’s simple logic.

I support pro-choice, I support the legalization of all drugs, I am an atheist, I support warfare, I support the right to bear arms, remember guns don’t kill people, people kill people, ask OJ and Scott Peterson. I do not support socialized welfare or a socialized health care system or the fact that illegal aliens come in here get hurt end up at the hospital and not pay for the bill because they are not citizens they are invaders.

I hate Hollywood, these people are lower than rats, I don’t even look at them as being human beings. You never hear about celebrities helping Americans out, they are always going overseas adopting foreign kids or going to Africa to help the millions of AIDS victims, well you know what I say, THE HELL WITH THEM! BOO HOO! Let there government take care of their problems, its not our responsibility or our fault that their Government is so messed up. Even our own Government sends over billions of dollars in foreign aid which only adds to our national debt, we need to knock that crap off. Who helped us out after 9/11 or Katrina? There are plenty of kids here that need good homes or families that could use the help and schools in inner cities that can use the money.

I don’t care about anyone else’s problems but right here in the good ole USA! But our lives are going to change if we do not set our goals on putting a stranglehold on our own government. Part of the problem is that our schools do not even teach kids anymore about what this country was founded on and the will of those men who took on the British Empire to form the greatest country in world. People, we need to get back to basics here and it’s going to involve me and you making logical choices in our lives.
