June, this is an excellent posting. I think that there was a novel, I think
it's name was "The Cry and The Covenant," that detailed the so called
"doctors" taking great pride in going from the examination of corpses to the
examination of women about to give birth. It's been a long time since I read
it, but I should think it would have been enough to take some of the stuffing
out of the shirts of many in the medical profession.

screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
