Doubt and medical procedures


Those who doubt the least
   are often those who know the least!

I am doubtful of many medical procedures,
 which doesn't means I avoid them all-
   but, rather, that I am skeptical of their claims
as I know that the case for the things people promote
     tends to be grossly overstated.

After all, as salesmen for such procedures
  promoters have already "drunk the cool aid"
     on the effectiveness of the procedure
   and are usually unwilling (or unable)
     to consider alternative views!
