2) the impact on your insurance premiums that this one guy had is uncalcuable

3) I don't disagree that the antiphysician sentiment abounds it's deplorable. In "practicing" my specialty it cost me 10 years of my life after college and 250K neither I nor my family had. I take responsibility for the choices but I think I've earned the privlege. There is so much more your not aware of....so before you want to speak poorly of all physicians you might want to consider the alternatives.

I am very sincere about my sentiments and empathy for his wife but I believe if you were aware of some of the things this guy was associated with you might think differently about him.
It's totally classless to call him out on a day when he announces his wife has had a reoccurance of cancer.

I'm aware that many doctor's have taken advantage and abused medicare to the point that health care in this country is on the verge of bankruptcy. I'm aware that physicians are in bed with the pharmaceutical companies and are overprescribing patients because they make extra $$$ and wouldn't want to risk not seeing that hot pharmaceutical rep again.

It's wrong that you call out Edwards for what he's done. It's selfish and partisan. Doctors are just as guilty, if not more, than lawyers for abusing the system.

It's complete and utter bullshit that you call out Edwards for what he's done. It's selfish and partisan crap. Doctors are just as guilty, if not more, than lawyers for abusing the system.

My god, how can anyone justify starting this thread? Classless isn't strong enough a word to use here...I'll pray for Mrs Edwards and hope for total recovery...I can't imagine the hate a person must feel to respond in any other way to the news of her illness!
