i do read everything, if your referring to me mis-reading giz then its not very hard to mis read giz's posts. i appologise, i have difficulty reading things which aren't written properly. and as you rightly said, this is a forum with lots of people on it, not everyone is going to agree with each others view points. just because i don't agree with someone doesn't make me obnoxious. everyone has slightly different view points on things.

What's your point? Safety in numbers? Does that justify your stance on coercion? I don't think so (even if all those frustrated doctors agreed with you, which I doubt they would). As NorthernLight said, if that's the level of your respect for your patients, you really are going to be in the wrong job.

forgive me if i don't see the world as rosy a place a some people. i see things as they are. and my point therefore was that many doctors are angry at the guy who wrote the paper on MMR and vaccine because of the outbreaks its caused. personally i think its only human to get a tad frustated when people can help themselves but they don't. my dads on ITU after a massive MI because he wouldn't help himself, the whole family tried to help but he didn't want to know.
but thats what we're here for after all, to help people (cliche i know, but thats what it bottles down to :P ) because as northern light said unfortunatley these days, the vast majority of cases we see are self inflicted in one way or another.

i respect that you don't want to reveal medical info on the net, but please understand that i'm asking why because i want to understand your viewpoint.
