Special GODGIVEN COMPASSION. GOD BLESS YOU.

[FEsmail2003]

Its true, however, she was a good friend and not a "girlfriend"

[jimmy2k4o]

@FlyersFool20 I see what you mean of course help them every way you can totally agree, all i'm saying is i wouldn't feel at peace putting my life in the hands of the guy dancing in the bed pans if he was giving me a kidney transplant or i don't know deep brain stimulation I would be worried he wasn't thinking about what he was doing he was too wrapped up in deciding what costume to wear tomorrow if you see my point? btw wasn't the guy that cut himself the same guy that killed Monica Porter

[FlyersFool20]

@jimmy2k4o yes but maybe thats not all people want. Remember the guy that was wheeled into the hospital that had cut himself? You can fix the guy up and he'll probably just do it again. but if you not only give them medical help but social help they will have a slimmer chance of hurting themselves. a good doctor is one that is sincerely focused on the well-being of a patient both mentally and physically

[jimmy2k4o]

i love the film but i do not agree with him i like the whole be randomly nice to everyone its nice and happy but bar the insurance issue the medical system is really good doctors should be serious they can be funny crack a couple of jokes i mean look at house but i want to put my life in the hand of someone who takes his job seriously and focuses on it not a guy with huge shoes coloured hair and a red nose i think in the film bob guntons character was right and i would want him as my doctor

Not a single life has ever been saved via Faith Healing or Homeopathy.

Obviously Faith Healers don't always treat someone with a terminal condition and thus those people would not be counted as people saved.

However the opposite is true people have died with conditions that were not terminal because of Faith Healing.

[Vynjira]

That isn't actually true. You cannot will yourself to have cancer. Now if you already have cancer the Chemotherapy will make you even sicker and typically it is your lack of appetite from being sick that further degrades your condition.

If your belief had any merit, we would see other examples such as suicide patients willing themselves to bleed internally.

Many with a misunderstanding of the placebo effect, make this unfounded claim.

[TheBean]

No, that part is not true.

[TheBean]

The body is a slave to the mind. For example, if a man decided he was going to go ahead and die from cancer all the doctors and kemotherapy in the world is not going to save his life.

[Vynjira]

Its disturbing to think he used Faith Healing and Homeopathy and other nonsense if he was that intelligent.

[METELAYRE]

This man is more inteligant than a nuclear power professor yet he choose the life of compassion, caring and helping pepole witch give him and whom he help joy, perfect joy witch will all are missing, his live is a lesson that will stay forever. love you

[blackbeltpatriotism]

Patch really cares about people, wonderful man
