The Doctors

Anyone ever watch the T.V. show The Doctors? It's kind of new. The Doctors is just what it sounds like - it's a pannel of doctors that give information on various topics. Sometimes they even debate their views on different subjects. For more information, check out their page on CBS. I refuse to post a direct link, and below I will tell why.

It seems that on Spetember 29th, 2008 one of the doctors decided to tell a bunch of children that "they would get diabetes if they ate too much sugar". That is a total myth, and several parents at the Children with Diabetes forums were outraged. What did the parents over at CWD do? What they usually do.... They banded together, and wrote emails to the staff. No one got a reply, though....

The next step was to post to the blog over at The Doctors website. The posts were deleted...

The Doctors have messed up, but they are not letting their mistake become known to their fans, nor are they correcting their mistake. Will that be yet another mistake? I sure hope so.

Here's my plan. I say we find a media outlet, and get attention on the mistake from a source that The Doctors cannot delete, nor ignore. By doing this The Doctors cannot delete it, and they can no longer hide that they gave out misinformation to a bunch of elemenrty school students, and they will not get away with spreading the Myths that the parents of children with diabetes loath so much.

Isn't that easier said than done?
