Is it Safe to Go to A Doctor?

Dr. Robert Mendelsohn, doesn't think it's a good idea to go see a doctor, at least most of the time. [ you can read reviews of Mendelsohn on Amazon ] Dr. Mendelsohn, hasn't always thought that way but after a life of medical practice, he slowly became convinced that he had been mis-trained and that he and other doctors had unintentionally done a lot of harm.
According to his book; Confessions of a Medical Heretic, he had given medicine that in the long run did more harm than it did good. I have a stack of books in my library, written by medical insiders that say basically the same thing.
Even the Journal of American Medicine, published by the A.M.A. says that some 100,000 Americans die each year from medical errors. That's 274 people per day that perish, what if a giant Airplane were to go down everyday? That would bring on a national panic and something would have to be done immediately! However thats not the end of it; other reports show that another 100,000 die each year from prescriptions, either given wrong or taken wrongly.
Unless you have been reading this information regularly year after year as I have, you might be tempted to dismiss the numbers out of hand and head out to see your doctor and see what tests he or she would like for you to have next.
Dr. Mendelsohn and dozens of other doctors that I read say, that's not a good idea. He and they say that a breast x ray for women may cause more breast cancer in the end than it prevents. For instance some 2.5 million surgical operations are done each year that are unnecessary.
Personally, I've had three doctors tell me that 9 out of 10 people who come to see them, would have got well on their own if they would have just waited it out. I know it's a real dilemma, should I take my child every time they have a sniffle? Should I insist that Mom and Dad go in for all the things they do to old people today?
Looking back, there was two surgeries that were necessary for me but there were also some tests that cost a total of $ 90,000.00 that were completely unnecessary. Mendelsohn, says that medicine is as much a religion as it is a science. It's something to think about.
