Because we get paid to treat patients. You do realize that a physician's practice operates very much like any other small business?

It's too bad that very attitude denounced by Dr. Carson rears its ugly head here - the inability or unwillingness to listen to the other side of a political debate. It's so much easier to personally attack our opponents than have a meaningful discussion of the issue.

Why? So what he served in the military? Maybe if he wasn't involved in torture I could muster up a little respect, but he's a fucking lunatic and the most he deserves is a prison cell.

Unfortunately this happens way too often around here. It is shameful and pathetic that people dont want to debate the real issue but would prefer to deflect.

One of the most racist things I've ever heard. Watch the man's whole speech, dammit!
