I'm familiar with the etymology of the word; my family has a long line of doctors and medical professionals on both sides.
Too many doctors have God complexes, thinking that they know it all, and that we are all a bunch of uneducated paeans, when the truth is that they have been misinformed to a large degree, can't diagnose worth a damn, and in many cases, don't know as much as some of their more medically literate patients.
The good ones keep learning, and are so beloved by their patients that getting an appointment with them can take weeks or months, if they're even taking new patients.
The bad ones are a dime a dozen, and they're everywhere. And too many of us are stuck with them.

yep... since my family is out of this whole universe I understand you big time. I'm all natural today, healthy food, fresh water on a daily basis keeps me strong. Not been "sick" for nearly 30 years, haven't seen a doctor for 25 years now...
I can't honestly say I've gone that long, but I am rarely ill, and when I am it passes quickly.
I've had a couple of doctors who thought that my birth date was wrong in their records, and were blown away to discover that it was indeed correct. All my markers are consistent for someone considerably my junior.
That's nice... May the force stays with you ;)
For myself I had probably that much drugs given to me as a baby/child that I wont be sick for the next couple of lives... hehe.
