Doctors are getting angry at their patients
American Thinker ^ | 7 Oct, 2021 | Pandra Selivanov

Apparently, it’s just too much to be asked to treat COVID before people get desperately ill.

One of the more bizarre twists in the saga of the COVID pandemic has been doctors growing increasingly frustrated and even angry with patients asking for medical treatment rather than wholesale vaccination. We have been told for almost two years that COVID is a deadly disease. Naturally, when people test positive for COVID, they want to be treated to avoid serious illness. Instead, they are sent home to quarantine, with no medical treatment until they become seriously ill.

Some patients take exception to this approach and ask for ivermectin, which is being used outside of the United States to treat early COVID. There is a significantly lower incidence of serious cases of COVID in countries that use ivermectin for early exposures.

Doctors are not taking kindly to the suggestion that patients should have access to medication that can prevent serious illness. They are denouncing ivermectin as a veterinary drug as if they were not aware that it was developed for human use, that the FDA approved it for human use back in the 1990s, and that almost 4 billion doses have been administered around the world in the past 30 years. It’s true ivermectin was developed to treat parasites, not viruses, and that it is used for livestock as well as humans. However, there are a number of life-saving medications that are not being used for their original purpose.

My trust level for most professions is not that high, if for no other reason than humans make mistakes and much of the work I’ve hired to have done needed to be redone to make it right.

I’ve had the same experience with a family physician and with a surgeon, too. Just my luck and I accept it and accept them as being human and humans make mistakes. The scar is kinda cool.

But somewhere along the way, especially post-obamacare, in my mind doctors became political tools and agents of GovCo, rather than being trusted confidants and partners in my personal health care.

The doctor’s examination room has become like a 3-minute interrogation room, where whatever I tell the doc and nurse, I’m also telling the invisible watcher in the room, too.

Whatever I say, do or admit to is being remembered and it might be used against me if I say the wrong thing or have the wrong thoughts. Hey, I don’t want to wind up one of their lists, you know?

I know there are good docs out there, but finding a good personal physician for basic checkups has now become a major challenge.

And now since they’re pushing the vaxx like there’s no tomorrow for anyone if we aren’t all vaxxed, I think they’ll stick me with vaxx or won’t see me at all.

I wonder if there’s a good veterinarian who’d give me a checkup.

*** What’s a concierge doctor? A direct primary care? I think that’s essentially private practice. My pediatrician is private practice. ***

A doctor you basically have on a predetermined retainer who has a limited number of clients. This allows for same day appointments/visits if you get sick, Doctor’s private number or a response to emails within 15 minutes. Longer visits, typically 45 minutes to an hour. Wellness, lifestyle programs.

Some offer house calls, and have mobile or in office labs. Also, they will give lab results by phone instead of trying to make you come in person like many doctors do these days so they can bill you, your insurance, or medicare for an office visit.
It is nice to go into an appointment and not sit around with an office full of sick people or sitting in an exam room 45 minutes waiting to see the doctor.

The goal is to frighten people into taking the mRNA jab. Treating the infection early defeats this plan.

But how does THAT benefit the doctor?

The government can pull their license if they don't follow mandates. The insurance companies will refuse to pay for unapproved treatments. 0bama Care regulated everything.

I've yet to hear of any abortion clinics denying abortions to those not vaccinated?

Sounds like more doctor’s offices should be like that.

IOW you think that a vaccine made from a piece of a virus is comparable to a drug that you wouldn’t be exposed to in nature?

Do you know of any vaccine that was cancelled due to the discovery of long term effects?

My doctor put my family of four on ivermectin when one of my sons tested positive. CVS filled it.

All were told to go home and go to the ER if you can't breathe.

Then when you do; get put on a ventilator and kiss your ass goodbye!

Tell me, just how effective is this “vaccine” ?

Do we have the right to weight the risk vs. efficacy ?

That would be a NO - we do not have that right.

Here’s a list of vaccines that had previous safety concerns:https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/concerns-history.html

Vaccines go way, way back in time too.

“Tell me, just how effective is this “vaccine” ?

95% on:

Alpha (B.1.1.7 and Q lineages)
Beta (B.1.351 and descendent lineages)
Gamma (P.1 and descendent lineages)
Epsilon (B.1.427 and B.1.429)
Eta (B.1.525)
Iota (B.1.526)
Kappa (B.1.617.1)
1.617.3
Mu (B.1.621, B.1.621.1)
Zeta (P.2)

So far Delta (B.1.617.2 and AY lineages) is the first mutation to evade the vaccine.

Cutter in 1955 was manufacturing disaster of the Salk vaccine. Salk used a killed whole virus. Cutter failed to kill the virus so live polio virus was injected into people instead.

Simian was a monkey virus contamination of Salk vaccines. Monkey kidney was used in the production of the vaccine from 1955-63. The fear was that it could provoke cancer in humans but that was never conclusive.

The 1976 Swine Flu vaccine was suspected of provoking Guillain Barre Syndrome. The Institute of Medicine found an increased risk of GBS connected with the vaccine, but no one knows why which isn’t reassuring. Most on the Vaccine Concern List are production contamination of some sort but this one is a mystery.

They hate patients that try to take their health into their own hands or that might know more than they do. These patients remind them that they too are only human and not the Godlike authoritarians they see themselves as.

Obama(dont)Care did what it was suppose to and destroyed independent doctors.

The vast majority of doctors were forced by paperwork requirements to join large medical services usually run by hospitals.

If they wish to continue to receive paychecks they must do what the hospitals wish and that is funnel patients to the hospitals.

If you are given early treatment for any illness you very likely will not require hospitalization and that is where the money is.

The "vaccine" will, more likely, result in people needing further medical care for the various side effects where as early treatment, formerly standard protocol, will not.

Follow the money.

Even if it leads you to someplace horrible it will still lead you to the truth.
