  1. Nancy says:

    This would be funny if it were not so sad. Many people are taken in by these know-nothing “doctors.”

  2. Bruce says:

    Think of it this way, Nancy. Their views on health care are a whole lot more sensible than their views on politics. Bewteen the two, I would rather let them play doctor.

  5. Joe S. says:
