[Margaret Pilkington]

There is room for conventional medicine and alternative medicine to run side by side.......and everyone is entitled to an opinion, we should respect that.
Despite having worked as a nurse for thirty years, there are some treatments that I would not have(unless I was unconscious and unable to speak for myself).
We all have the right of choice...something that is only possible because of medical advances.
If medication is necessary to prolong life than you have to weigh up whether the quality of that life is better than the alternative.
Lots of medications do have nasty side effects which need some other medication to control it....and before you know it you rattle when you walk.
Medicine is wonderful when used wisely.
