Dear Ed Zachary, Part IV

Dear Ed

I am so confused. Every time I open the newspaper, watch the news on TV or check out the Drudge Report, it seems I am dying from a new disease recently diagnosed by the medical community.

I can barely concentrate on my work, my kids, my pathetic schmendrick of a husband.

Is this insanity? Hydrophobia?

What should I do?

Dear Yenta,

By all means, continue paying the closest attention possible to every breaking news story out of the medical community, your life may depend on it.

It is no secret that, over the past decades, the medical community has saved billions of lives and improved the well-being of countless souls across the globe.

You can expect this trend to continue into the foreseeable future as the physicianals selflessly strive to rid the planet of disease and death without regard to personal aggrandizement or financial reward whatsoever.

As for any insane doubts you may harbor with regard to the tried and true veracity of the pure altruistics comprising our medical establishment, simply ask yourself the following question:

If they didn’t know what they were talking about, would they be in the positions they occupy?

Ed
