    Spot on. Doctors are the same. They are there to treat illness but they seem to have expanded their role into trying to prevent illness before it happens. Not in any intelligent way, just banning things or making them stupidly expensive.

    It seemed to me to be a classic case of a cure that was worse than the disease, sort of like saying 'since I burned my house down, I no longer have a problem with rising damp'.
