Yep - but, I think what is being forgotten here is the anti-gun stuff came from the NEJM - which does not represent doctors in general. Direct your vitriol where it belongs - toward the "MEDIA" - which is what the NEJM is - and does not represent doctors - by any means. Keep in mind it is not "doctors" saying those
Careful, those who are too quick on the trigger miss their target.
I'm not forgetting anything, and am very specific about those members of the profession that I criticize.
My criticizim was/is aimed specifically at ANTI-GUN doctors. Not so much those who hold anti-gun personal opinions, but those who are organized or who are active in their anti-gun persuits. Like asking patients on a questionaire if they own guns and them giving them a lecture if they do. Or those Doctors at the CDC who are more interested in regulating guns than practicing medicine.
On the other hand, my dentist and I regularly discuss hunting and handguns. My MD is a fan of shooting pistols for recreation.
Your admonition should be saved for someone who actually does blame the medical profession in general, which would be me if I thought they deserved it.
