To me, they seem to be.  As you observed, they can be very effective indeed, but
my main issue with modern medicine is not with the science of it, but
commercialism:  its huge attachment to the pharmaceutics/drugs industry and
what I observe to be some lack of etics by the "doctors".

Whenever I bring my daughter to the doctor when she gets some cold or ear
inflamation it's the same damned thing:  get her some antibiotics.  F*ck, no!
I do not intend for her to be an antibiotics zombie or something.  Whatever
happenned to traditional ways of dealing with such health issues, like drinking
teas and simply waiting for the organism to heal itself?

Medical doctors are not the impartial scientists of legend, they are in it to
make a living and the most lucrative way of doing it is to ally themselves with
the lucrative drugs business...
