I agree. Ever hear about the kid that enjoys torturing pets and pulling the wings out of flies? IMO, there are all too many medical doctors that may fit this description. I worked with research cardiologist at a University. I didn't work there long. Our testing was on dogs. These dogs were whippets and greyhounds that no longer could compete in dog racing. Do you know how short a racing dogs use is? There's nothing wrong with these beautiful dogs except they no longer have that extra step to win races. These dogs were being sent to the university to be experimented on.

I recall the one dog that was experimented on before it was sedated and then euthanized. The dog could have easily survived this simple experiment. The research doctor killed the animal without as much any trace of compassion. He simply scurried off to attend another event.

Albeit it was a 'research' dog, how is this different than the kid that tortures pets? This memory always bothered me and caused me to think how easy it is for a doctor to kill. Are there safeguards? Is there ever enough? Are patients ever unwittingly experimented on? How easy it for them to have plausible deniability? Any person in such a position has the power to either save or kill. That sends shivers down my spine. Always have someone with you in a hospital. IMO, If you are sedated, you have lost all of your rights. Always have someone with you.

I was contracted to come up with a reusable implant for blood velocity measurement. Our testing was on dogs. These dogs were whippets and greyhounds that no longer could compete in dog racing.
