- During civil war wounded sodiers tried to stay away from doctors. Those who managed to stay away did not suffer amputation, and did survive. Decendants of those doctors oppose Obama's Healthcare solution.

- Great piece. A little known fact about the Garfield assasination--one of the first doctors to attend to Garfield after he was shot, was Dr. Charles B. Purvis, an African American who hasd served as a surgeon during the American Civil War. His treatment of Garfield at the scene made him the first African American physician to attend to a sitting United States President.

- Even William Mckinley died due to the bungling of a doctor. The doctor closed his wound without removing the bullet and he developed gangrene and died of poisoning.

- George Washington had the practice of blood-letting performed on him which contributed to his death. Need to be open to truth and change sometimes. I don't trust doctors 100% either because they're human but there's some checkups and procedures with enough science to back up their usefulness that I think people do more harm than good to ignore.

- Garfield was shot in Washington and attended by a many doctors. These comments about Southern doctors and tobacco habits in the South somehow being responsible for Garfield's death are not only wrong but very prejudicial.

- They laid him on the train station floor. While researching for something I was writing, I came upon a piece that said Europeans found disgusting that Americans would spit chewing tobacco on train floors and in churches.
