Had an appt with my doc today. He came in wearing a mask (I was offered one per protocol by the receptionist and declined with a smile). I told him, "you don't need to wear that as far as I'm concerned." (It was, btw, a cheap throwaway mask, not an N95.) We proceeded to talk about how corporations including the healthcare system that employs him are operating without regard for actual medical or scientific reasoning. In fact, we both concluded, corporations hate people. That was it. We agreed that corporations hate people. So he has to go through his day miserably masked. And if I want care from someplace in the system (he ordered an x-ray for me), I have to go miserably masked. (I again declined, btw, so I was refused the prescribed x-ray.)
Wow, just freaking Wow !!! This line makes my head explode. ". . .including how difficult it is for people to access care and how hard it is for doctors to learn about emerging conditions." It is only hard for the Doctors because they take the government health bureaucracy at their word. By now, I'd thought they would be questioning why the things they were told didn't turn out that way. I have lost all hope. I now KNOW how this ends . . .
its frightening. and like many others, i feel gas-lit by my peers when no one else seems to want to express any kind of outrage about it all. how did i not notice they were bot-people?
"You expect your doctor to use a lifetime of education and experience to figure out what’s wrong with you."
That's what I expected in 1991 when I got Lyme Disease. I diagnosed myself, yet it took eight years to get treatment. It's easier for doctors to laugh at you and be critical versus get out of their comfort zone, do research, and consult with each other.
This is, unfortunately, where the last 2.5 years have landed us, and it’s what the ruling regime prefers: being able to dictate to doctors the acceptable “science” and to cull any dissenters from the herd with mandates or threats of license revocation, etc. My hubby and I both hold CA medical licenses, and when I saw that new legislation, I instantly thought back to my Facebook feed, wondering if they’ll send some Czar of Misinformation back through it to see that I posted Peter McCullough’s at-home protocols for Covid, or the Great Barrington Declaration, or a dozen other bits and bobs I’ve been bold enough to share (I don’t work in clinical practice anymore, so I figured I should be one of the ones brave enough to stick my head up out of the foxhole). My question, and one I hope the lawyers get ahold of, is: who assumes liability for patient injury when the state dictates what doctors can and cannot do and say? Like, can injured patients then sue the state medical board if their treatment harms them? If you take the scalpel out of the surgeon’s hand and put it in the state’s, I think this is a fair question. Let the lawsuits commence!
Again- 46 years as a provider of health care and I no longer trust the ones I should be able to trust to give the answers with the sound rationales to back them up. As for long COVID- there are two sets of patients: the ones who truly have it and the ones who are jumping on the bandwagon. And, you mark my words, “they” will declare long COVID a disability and give what workers we have left another reason to stay out of the workforce and get paid.
Medicine is supposed to be an “art,” practiced and individualized to each patient, requiring a thoughtful process by a thoughtful healthcare team. Apparently, the government would rather have a binder to follow - no need for a medical degree, just scroll the table of contents for the symptom and do as instructed.
I come from the world of naval aviation. I wasn’t a test pilot, but worked on the lower rungs of flight test. The navy gets way more applicants for test pilots than there are positions. They try to choose the best of the best, because they get their pick of the litter.
The job of these pilots is to get into an aircraft and find out what its limits are. It’s an uncertain, if not, dangerous profession. People line up to do it. In droves. There’s something exciting about trying to solve a problem no one has ever solved before, even if it was dangerous; especially if it was dangerous. Once upon a time, this might have even been considered a part of the American ethos.
What I’m saying is that there are two kinds of people. People who will bet their lives on their ability and people who will do whatever they can to avoid executive decisions. Keep in mind who is writing the articles. It’s not the doctors out there trying to solve a novel problem. It’s a bunch of journalists that are afraid of their own shadows.
Not surprising. Doctors are human and it has been tragically revealed that at least half of the people in our country want, need, crave, desire, yearn and require the Nanny State to take over where mommy and daddy have left off. The Marxists have quite successfully infantilized a couple of generations of people and we are now reaping what they sowed 50 years ago.
A guy trips on a dock at the river and falls in, and does not come up. People jump in and pull him out, unconscious. He eventually comes to and is transported to the hospital. He is seen in the emergency room and discharged. The next day he calls his mom and says he’s in tremendous pain and can barely move. She picks him up and takes him to the urgent care facility around the corner. There they find a collapsed lung, and multiple rib fractures. The hospital found none of this, because they didn’t bother to look.
This was actually better than my trip in an ambulance, which took me to two hospitals, where I spent all day and never saw a doctor, in much the same condition, only I had a bleeding head wound too. Do not hurt yourself, and avoid going to the doctor. We would be better off without healthcare at this point. At least you would know not to bother. Right now there is this illusion that there is a possibility of being treated, when there most often isn’t. It’s almost like they know that we know that they just spent the last two years killing people for a living.
This reminds me of when I was covering school board meetings during the first summer of corona, and the board members kept saying, "We wish the state would give us guidance," and then the state gave mandates that made it impossible to have kids in school more than two days a week. It was surreal.
This is all ushering in government health care. If you want to see how that works visit your local VA hospital and ask a few patients how their day is going.
Wonder what the real count of doctors and nurses dead from the jabs really is. Seems the ever smaller pool of doctors left will have some serious thinking to do, but their brains are NOT working so well these days!!; they are really stumped so far about all this. Prion disease inducing jabs. Dumb and dumber incarnate.
Does this shit show ride have an exit?

this extends into academia and research.

Thanks for calling this nonsense out Chris. Your commentary is once again spot on.
This is all ushering in government health care. If you want to see how that works visit your local VA hospital and ask a few patients how their day is going.
Wonder what the real count of doctors and nurses dead from the jabs really is. Seems the ever smaller pool of doctors left will have some serious thinking to do, but their brains are NOT working so well these days!!; they are really stumped so far about all this.

The use of the words punish or punishment is indicative of the relationship between government and governed.
