Out of curiosity, how many patients here are feeling sane this morning?

To clarify, how many of us were experiencing delusions until today?

Whatever it is, I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth.

I'm ambivalent. My mom looks at pretty much all modern medicine with a lot of suspicion, but there's no denying the good they do. I mean, a lot of the time they are being paid a crapload of money by Big Pharma in order to get unnecessary treatments billed to the unsuspecting masses, but there is a reason that "do no harm" is in the Hippocratic Oath. Generally, doctors tend to be pretty decent guys.
