Calling it the dark side of their profession seems unfair to me. Its insinuating that there is an inherently dark side thats unique to the medical profession and everyone can just slither into. We dont call the unabomber the dark side of mathematics profesors. Isnt this playing with the fears of people who will have to deal and maybe put their lifes in the hands of medical professionals at some point?

To spin this further, do you think these kinds of stories are used by people already distrusting "school medicine" and those practicing it to enforce their stance?

On a real note: whats the most common mistake people make that gets their identity stolen? Adding to that: What are some simple precautions to take to prevent it?
