I was horrified to read today that Veterans received a lobotomy for depression and for homosexuality. Maybe I should not be since after the Viet Nam war Veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange were told they were just fine. (Wall Street Journal 12/12/13, Page 1)
I have the highest respect for doctors. Most do the best they can for their patients. Doctors are human. They make errors and guess the same as everyone else. Patients should remember that a doctor gives an OPINION and it is up to the patient to research what is in his or her best interests. For instance, a doctor might recommend a drug for depression or anxiety and your independent research might suggest meditation.
