I hope that you really mean that-I mean, it's depressing and disgusting, but it is what he said and it does bear out that you haven't heard of any cure come out of medical research for years and years. We have more that 200 drugs to treat hypertension. Drugs make money and cause MD visits regularly. The magic wand of cure sends a patient merrily on his way. It's a little sick. You would think that humans would be above this.

However, I am loathe to post such a depressing thing, especially when the board is filled with people who need a little hope and faith that the system will work for them.
I love my job and moarn that I am not nursing currently. I deeply miss my patients in the neuro ICU and feel so useless without all of the running around and frustrations that go with the job. I am just one of those people who couldn't do anything else but be in the ICU. Knowing that medical research feels this way is a black eye to a profession that I am normally fairly proud of.
