Another report turning down what is believed to be good.

According to Big Study Finds No Clear Benefit of Calcium Pills, the calcium and vitamin D supplements failed to give what has been expected for women over 50.

The problem is not just a case, but many such type of claim had never been proved by similar studies. We may ask why doctors could recommend anything that lack sound proof. Did they forget that they were handling human, not mice or robots?

Even if there is no harm in taking the ineffective medicine, we might be better off with something other than the suggestion, not to say any loss in finance.

If such way continues, perhaps we shall prefer a computer to act as our medical sources. It can read 'advertisement' content and makes suggestion in the same way as doctors did. It can be programmed to read all medical tests. Of course, we may worry whether the programmer would receive any sponsorship and give priority to some unproved medicine. The solution may be simple. These Doctor Computers, perhaps great to name it 'iDoctor', can be monitored by indepent medical professors.

May be by giving a few billions can make this a reality and the burden of medical expenses may be solved.
