A Chip in the Old Block?

Is this the biblical mark of the beast?

Gulp. Frankenpatient!

<smile>Don't know, Bi. There have been so many interpretations on that "mark" that I'm beginning to think it's Zorro.

Right, edgar. There is something rather fishy about it.

Seriously, Amendment three, which concerns the fight between the doctors and the lawyers, is looking for a vote, yeah or nae.

I do believe the FDA has been bought and paid for.

forget the biblical phrasing and look at the common sense of it and how our current direction goes hand in hand with perfect tracking and perfect control..."in the name of safety"

Bi, my friend, I have often thought of that as have many writers and whistle blowers of America and the world. I would think that the entire thing could be open to big law suits unless the patient gave his consent. Another thing to put in a living will, I guess.

naturally I don't think I'm the first bear to think of it....but doesn't it seem especially appropriate about now?

I have been a foe of the FDA ever since I learned I had cancer. They don't want anybody to think for themself.

I know, Bi. Yes, it is VERY appropriate. Ever since Viox, and way before that, I know the situation and have for some time. Even Wal Mart started putting chips in the purchases, claiming it was to avoid theft. Sure it was.

edgar, my Gawd, man. I didn't know that you had cancer, but you're right. Were my son not a doctor, all of my family would be uninformed.

The web is valuable, but not always clear for a lay person.

Egads, it's enough to make me want to buy my own island.....

Anybody else wanna move there with me?

heh heh. All of us.

I have curable skin cancer, about 98% vanquished, but you would be surprised the opposition to the treatment I opted for. If it ain't money and power to the establishment, it is on a hit list.

Well, edgar. Thank God it wasn't melanoma. What treatment did you opt for?

I opted for Cansema tablets and tonics and eschartic salves, Cansema brand and Can-X brands. Initially I used quite a bit of Curaderm and SkinAnswer, but they were too slow for the spread I had, from head to toe.
