8. I gotta tell you, I'm a fan

There are quacks even among those with MDs. Remember Dear Abby's line, half of all doctors graduated in the bottom half of their class. Same goes with lawyers. Etc.

But I've had good experience with chiropractic and alternative therapies. I like acupuncture and PEMF and massage. Don't get me wrong, I like my GP and see her when needed - big fan of certain medications - and of course I have my regular appointments with my urologist and eye doctor. I'm not going to touch homeopathy here on DU, so no comment on that.
