I hope you are not suggesting that the entire medical profession is baseless.

I think it is in sad need of a major overhaul.

"United States spends considerable more on health care that any other industrialized country yet, ranks 37th out 191 member states in terms of “overall health system performance” in the World Health Organization’s (WHO) 2000 World Health Report.

From:
How Does the United States Health Care System Rank?

Or as Homer Simpson puts it, "America's health care system is second only to Japan ... Canada, Sweden, Great Britain ... well, all of Europe. But you can thank your lucky stars we don't live in Paraguay!"
