Doctors should get good rest to avoid anything worse that could happen especially in operations.

Instead of evangelizing life style changes and simple, natural foods, we are rammed down our throats with disinformation in the media (TV, print etc) – the message being – medical drugs resolve all diseases. New names are invented every week and the TV infomercials relentlessly beguile the uninformed public. With models posing as patients, the public is being brainwashed with the message that the cure for all diseases is the “magic pill”. The sole objective: Huge profits for the health care industry.
The media, TV, advertisers, pharma, healthcare, AMA and the government (Senators/Reps) are all complicit in this disinformation. Until we get a responsible set of politicians who espouse the truth, the public is doomed to suffer under this hegemony.

Most of the doctors I know are quite physically fit and health buffs. First of all, they should be living examples of good health since they are doctors. People go to them to seek medical care and professional advice.

Certainly the doctors (and formally medic students) in my group of friends are the ones that work the hardest, and always seem the most exhasted.
