But even so, your doctors would probably prefer that you leave the practice of medicine to them. Wrong once more. *When asked how they felt about having an informed patient, they were not the least bit troubled. *If I got the impression that a doctor was the least bit insecure an threatened by a patient being informed, he or show would no longer be my doctor. *My doctors indicated that they welcomed and preferred informed patients because then they were able to are able to engage in a productive discussion concerning state of health and treatment options involving the patient in the process. *All of this is so elementary and common sense approach that it should not even come into question. Doctors prefer not to discuss anything with their patients. All they want is that the patient follow their instructions and take their advice on procedures and medications. In your not so humble opinion stated as fact, you meant to say. My doctors do not fall into this category. When one encounters a doctor that is unwilling to discuss matters, that precludes the patient from taking responsibility for and participating in their own health care. If that is the kind of doctors you have, then it is time to look elsewhere. Well, they pretend to be liberal arts oriented, but they really are not.. All that ever comes out of Catholic colleges are a lot of students who go on to law and medical schools, neither of which have anything to do with the liberal arts. When religion informs everything that is studied, then the liberals arts are dead and buried. Jesuit institutions are notorious for their ability to indoctrinate. More errant opinion unsupported by facts or evidence??? *The term liberal arts refers to a curriculum that imparts general knowledge and develops the student’s rational thought and intellectual capabilities, unlike the professional, vocational, and technical curricula emphasizing specialization. *Contemporary liberal arts comprise studying literature, languages, philosophy, history, mathematics, and science [also art and music]. *They were all part of my curriculum. *By the way, not all my teachers were Jesuits. *Loyola employs lay teachers as well, but I digress. *I feel that I received a very good education regardless of what you have to say. Any teacher employed in a Jesuit institution will have to kowtow to the prevailing philosophy, or at least not go against it. It is possible to take a liberals arts course and that it not be in the least liberal, most especially if it is informed and constrained by religion. More opinion stated as fact. I attended Loyola. You didn't. It is logical to assume that I am in a better position to judge whether religion constrained lay teachers or the teaching of liberal arts courses. I did not encounter any your imagined constraints. Interesting how you chose to use the term indoctrinate since that appears to be one of your objectives in newsgroups and you do a mighty poor job of it I have to say. My whole philosophy is to create skepticism about everything that is so-called 'known' under the sun. I leave dissension and consternation in my wake wherever I go. I am especially death on political correctness. That is what I do a good job at. In this exchange, I have presented facts which you have predictably have countered not with skepticism, but rather with antagonism in the form of unsubstantiated opinion and conjecture. Why because when it come to debate that is just the best the you can do. Granted dissension is your thing but what you leave in your wake is a dispassionate, unimpressed and disnterested readership, the very audience whose attention you strive to aim to elicit.
