Today's Survey...Survey commissioned by Doctors claims Doctors are the most trusted profession.

Members of the public trust doctors above all other professionals, according to a survey.
Pollsters commissioned by the Royal College of Physicians asked people whom they would trust to tell the truth from a list of 19 professions

Ian Gilmore, President of the Royal College of Physicians, said he was delighted with the survey's findings.
The public approval fitted in with efforts made by the college to "redefine the doctor-patient relationship in a changing world", he said.
"With patients having access to an increasing range of health facts and figures about their health, it is reassuring to know that the doctor-patient relationship is still highly valued."
You'd think I'd made this up. But to be honest (as demonstrated by the last week) I don't need to. People may wonder why I think surveys are useless and the media are idiots for repeatedly publishing the results of these spurious polls without one single piece of analysis. But the question is - if I can do it why can't the media?
