    New Sign of Brain Damage in N.F.L. - NYTimes.com

    We'll see how well the League buries this story. In response to a question for this article, one NFL VP pointed out that Gerald Ford played football and did not die from brain damage. Um, yeah, but about these 6 dead NFL veterans...

    Quoted: doctors have now identified C.T.E. in all six N.F.L. veterans between the ages of 36 and 50 who have been tested for the condition, further evidencing the dangers of improperly treated brain trauma in football.

    Quoted: “I think with a sixth case identified, out of six, for a condition that is incredibly rare in the general population, there is more than enough evidence that football is clearly strongly related to the presence of this pathology.”

    Hospital doctors patient care | Salon

    Once again we see the medical profession involved in gross impositions and horrible acts against the population. Well, this is pretty run-of-the-mill, but it's a problem.

    Quoted: In the end, I'd like to say that my experience on the patient's side of healthcare will make me a more compassionate, caring doctor. Will it? I hope so. On the other hand, like all difficult times, I'd rather forget the whole thing happened.
