framerjohnon It's just a virus, the E.R. told him – days later, he was dead

We think that we live in a time of medical miracles, and we do, but people are also still dying very quickly from things like pneumonia, and getting strokes from viruses. Any of us could die or be disabled at any moment. Be thankful if you have your health. You can blame docs, and sure it can be that, but this is not like having a good computer technician- life is full of risks!

Any evidence to back this up?

Granted, I’ve had some bad docs in the U.S., but the trick is to get good recommendations from people that work with the better doctors.
