    You guard against unnecessary or dangerous care? Fuck you. A patient’s doctor is who determines the care, subject to his license, the state board and the justice system. If you truly need to double check a doctor’s decision, Only an impartial board of doctors, with no financial interest and subject to their liability, should override the doctors decision.

      That guy is either going to get arrested, die in a standoff, or join DB Cooper on a beach in Tahiti. Whatever happens, he wont be assassinating any more people. These guys need to be worried about the copycats.

    I’m confused by your use of the word “earned”. I don’t think it fits in this context.
