Hagfish

Prompted to look up the eyes of hagfish by an infelicitous phrase about same in Wikipedia, I have just come across 'Answers in Genesis' and one Dr. Elizabeth Mitchell. A fully paid up medical doctor who does not believe in evolution, but who does believe in both the Bible (possibly the version at reference 3) and Jesus Christ. See also references 1 and 2.

Which in turn prompted me to wonder whether, if I lived in the Bible Belt in the US, I would invalidate my medical insurance if I declined to be treated by such a person, on the grounds that she could not possibly be a proper doctor? Qualifications and experience notwithstanding.

From where I associate to once reading that the blood people in the US are very robust on this point. If you want blood, you cannot fuss about where or from whom the blood came, which is all very proper. But what about fussing about your doctor?
