• My Open Letter to Dr. Mario

  
  

  
  Dear Dr. Mario,
  
  I have serious concerns about your ability to care for ailing individuals. The most notable of my concerns is the fact that you're both a doctor and a plumber. I wasn't aware there were schools that offered duel majors in such studies. I'm guessing that you went to school in Aruba.
  
  I'm not only concerned with your background but also your method of treatment. It seems that every medical quandary has the same answer to you, antibiotics. No matter how many germs a patient has (or what type they are) you prescribe pills in ever increasing doses! Sometimes I wonder if you're even aware of what these medications are designed for. You seem to throw pills at problem cases that don't even match the germs in the patient's system.
  
  

  
  

  
  While this methodology seems to work more often than not you have to consider that for every public success there's a victim suffering in silence, literally filled to the brim with pills, and even after all that "treatment" there are still traces of the infection.
  
  You act in reckless and irresponsible ways. You play things fast and loose with your prescription pad but have you ever stopped to think about other methods of treatment. There's a whole world filled with alternative methods of treatment. They include, but are not limited to, holistic medicine and completely non-medicating therapies. Such concepts are probably inconceivable to someone such as you. Someone who, quite frankly, has made his career and fortune as a pill pusher.
  
  

  
  

  
  Even if the practices that you pursue somehow manage to fall within the scope of medical ethics they do not at all fit any definition I have for responsible behavior. You may find it entertaining to play with peoples well being, and indeed their very lives, but I'm certain that the patients you treat and their families are nowhere nearly so callous. Modern day health care in America may be a game to you "Doctor" Mario but let me assure you, it most certainly is not a game to me.
  
  

   
  

  
  I hope you're a better plumber than you are a doctor.
  
  Sincerely,
