Heb4.. 12 For the word of GOD is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Lk12... 51 "Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division.
52 "For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three.
53 "Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law."

    The physicians in this case burst into the legal spotlight in July when federal Judge Janis Graham Jack revealed that these nine alone were responsible for 99% of some 9,000 silicosis diagnoses in front of her court. She ultimately blasted those claims as bogus, and laid particular blame on the doctors whose "diagnoses were driven by neither health nor justice: they were manufactured for money."
 
    APHA is honouring Barry S Levy, an adjunct professor at the Tufts University School of Medicine, he was formerly at the Centers for Disease Control and once served as APHA's president.
 
    Judge Jack took particular note of Dr. Levy who "did not take the occupational or medical histories of any of the Plaintiffs; he did not perform the [X-ray reads] on any of the Plaintiffs; he did not perform the physical examination of any of the Plaintiffs; and he did not speak to any of the Plaintiffs or their primary care physicians."
 
    In this case Dr. Levy diagnosed nearly 1,400 people with a serious disease. "Yet despite the fact that Dr. Levy has provided consulting services to NIOSH, OSHA, the CDC, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the World Health Organization -- and therefore would know the proper people to call if he felt it was appropriate -- he chose to notify no one but the lawyers who paid his bills," wrote Judge Jack.
 
    In the end, the judge found that Dr. Levy "had an agenda: diagnose silicosis and nothing else." Moreover, the judge wrote, he "saw his role with respect to these cases as beginning and ending with litigation."
 

Jam4:4..Adulterers and adultresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with GOD? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of GOD.
