Junior Doctors Equating Homeopathy with "Witchcraft"
Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 2010-09-26 01:54."BOSSES at the Royal London Homoeopathic Hospital have changed its name four months after leading doctors derided it as a centre for “witchcraft”."
Actually they were JUNIOR Doctors.
"The country’s leading NHS funded hospital for homeopathic remedies has become the Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine (RLHIM) – ending a 60 year association with the controversial treatments. "
The hospital has made no change to its Homeopathic treatments, nor has any association whatsoever been ended.
"It follows criticism from the medical establishment and mounting speculation that homoeopathic treatments will be among the first cuts to the NHS."
Wrong again, the vote was to continue the current Homeopathic funding by the NHS which remains a tiny part of its budget.
"But dozens of patients in Camden rushed to the defence of the hospital, saying homoeopathy had worked when traditional medicine had failed. "
Indeed, perhaps the junior Doctors feel that the patients too, have fallen under the spell of "witchcraft". Perhaps, when conventional treatments fail, the junior doctors can blame that on witchcraft. One hopes that there will someday be a time machine service to transport the junior doctors back to the 16th century (or earlier) where they may feel more at home than the present.
