Dear Tresy,

Thank you for reading my piece on capitalist medicine.     But I must
protest your constant attacks on Web TV.      The fact that I use it,
instead of a computer, bothers you no end.     Why is this?

Your medical knowledge is impressive.     Statements that "respiratory
cancer" is called lung cancer, show me how on top of things you are.
You may be surprised that the lung is only one part of the respiratory
system.       This was not always known, and it's understandable that
you would ridicule someone for using the term I used, if you were
unaware of the throat or nasal sinuses.

As for your advanced learning about asthma, it's impressive that you
know that steroids and other medicines are used besides ATB.    Keep up
your studies!

The rest of your criticism is on the same level.     I just don't have
the stomach or time to reply point by point to you.     Keep up the
attack on HMOs, Tresy.      You're on the cutting edge of medical
reform.

Best wishes, Tony Abdo
