"Dr. Russell Blaylock, a renowned neurosurgeon and editor of the Blaylock Wellness Report, tells Newsmax.TV in an exclusive interview that the healthcare plans touted by Democrats amount to a virtual "draft" of doctors into the government's "public option" health insurance program. He also fears a rationing of healthcare to the elderly and a "violation of the Hippocratic Oath." Good. Now we'll get the best and brightest to want so badly to be doctors--told what to do and how to do it. Yowzah! How motivating! Leave it to the idiot kontrol-freak collektivists to pork the puppy at every turn. Whatever they touch turns to *h*t. |

That's a joke, son. |
???? Have you checked his diploma? |

Apparently not, especially given that the overwhelming majority of Blaylock's views are not shared by the rest of the practicing medical community  |

Wow! They found one whole doctor to speak out against healthcare reform? The New England Journal of Medicine found a whole bunch of doctors (70% actually) that support a public option.

Courage is doing the right thing when no one is looking. |
crap, it isnt worth it. 70% of 3000 respondants out of 800K doctors in the US. Yes, thats a majority....not GRAYMAN |

I think the science of polling has been explained a number of times on this board. Feel free to disregard polling done by the New England Journal of Medicine to embrace the opinion of one guy sited in Newsmax though. ROFLMAO  |

Posted by Grayman on September 27th, 2009 Grayman - a big supporter of polling (as long as the data upholds whatever he already believes).  |

First, let me share a couple of sayings from when I took statistics classes in college: "Figures don't lie...but liars figure." "Give me enough data and I will prove whatever you want." "Let ME write the questions on your survey...and you will get the response you are looking for." That being said, SW now you are willing to accept the opinion of a polled majority? I like polls, they tend to be amusing, but the only poll that really counts is the one where you go and VOTE! How about those VOTING polls wherein your side failed, as in the vast majority of the states including California which have "polled" against same sex marriage...are you now willing to lay down the fight (perhaps with a whimper) and mildly go on with other things...now that you have lost? Or do you keep looking for support to bring about change? Do you not embrace any and all who might support you...no matter what your neighbors and fellow citizens have said through their votes? Sorry, the majority is NOT always right. |

I'd say California's "poll" was quite fair. |

I like the way the op put the "K" in health kontrol.
It will probably be used to spell the "Kapitol" before it is all over with.  |

A poll is only as good as the question asked, the audience asked and the intent of the pollster gathering the data. One organization's poll numbers are easily refuted by anothers. |

Civil rights shouldn't be voted on. If the American electorate had been allowed to vote on interracial marriage, it wouldn't have passed "majority opinion" until the 1990s. A poll on the opinion of doctors regarding healthcare reform is a little different, but thanks for trying.  |

Nice try at a sidestep and sashay to the left...but are you now saying that the only majority which counts is the majority of the minority subset being surveyed?
Or are you saying that if the survey agrees with you, it MUST be..."Fair and Balanced"? |

Crap another person ignorant of how polls are done and the MATH behind them. Now IF you know something that shows they used incorrect sampling techniques, biased questions or did something else that invalidates the poll then post it otherwise just admit you are against he poll because it does NOT support what you WANT to be true. |

Sorry, there ARE some legitimate questions concerning this survey. What database (List) was used for contacting potential responders? Just how were the questions worded? In what order were the questions asked? How many responses were disallowed due to "discrepancies" in response? What was the compiling agency, and what (if any) is their political background? What is their "Margin of Error?
These are indeed fair questions. Just exactly how scientific was this poll? |

No there are some TEHCNICAL question you and others that oppose the results of survey could have asked and researched but have not bothered to do so. Rather than address the survey it has been attacked as invalid with NO EVIDENCE just because pople do not agree with the results. Having a FLAWED survey make it through the process to be published in a peer reviewed journal such as the "New England Journal of Medicine" is RARE having people attack a survey they don't agree with without any evidence to back up their position is COMMON (note across the political spectrum). |
