Recently several terrorist attacks were attempted in Britain. Two car bombs were left near London Night Clubs. In Glasgow some men tried driving a Jeep Cherokee into the the Glasgow International Airport Lobby.
Most of the Suspects were medical doctors. most were of Indian, Saudi, and Jordanian backgrounds.
These attacks raise startling questions. The attacks were planned and carried out so poorly the question to ask is: How little basic intelligence is required to become a medical doctor? The targets were relatively insignificant, and each attack failed.
In the past I had had great respect for medical doctors. But if they can't even put together effective terrorist attacks my expectations of the future of health care are severely lowered. I'm sure advanced super medicine will continue to be developed. However, the access most people have to affordable treatment for common illnesses and injuries will continue to diminish. The only way to cope will be to lower expectations.
