Marlene Buckler, MD, FACEP, has arrived at a point where she thinks that she may be able to help more people not by actually practicing medicine, but by writing and speaking about it. In a recent article about her in the Pelican Press she is quoted at the beginning of the article as saying, “Stay away from doctors and don’t take pills.”
The article continues with another quote from Buckler, “…I used to see nothing wrong with people going to doctors. I also used to believe that pills had overall beneficial effects and that folks would be prescribed medications only when it was in their best interest. I have changed my mind.”
Much of her current belief stems from the fact that in her years practicing emergency medicine, she saw a lot of patients that she concluded were “worse off because they went to doctors and took pills.” Dr. Buckler is currently writing a book, Stay Out of My ER to help readers understand that there are more answers for many health concerns than just another pill.
I could not agree more. My own experience echoes what Dr. Buckler relates in the Pelican Press article.

Thanks for the great article about Dr. Buckler! It’s good to know that more and more physicians are questioning what they learned in medical school and going with their guts, even if the mainstream says otherwise. I’ll bet you both went to see the Michael Moore “Sicko.” I thought it was an awesome movie!!
