How Medical Schools Are Polarizing Tomorrow’s Doctors

To be a successful doctor, it is no longer enough to make an accurate diagnosis and recommend an effective treatment. Today’s medical schools want their students to be well-versed in politics—and not just any politics, but issues embraced by the left. Left-leaning issues are weaving their way into the curriculum and woe to those who speak out, including faculty members.

Climate change is the newest charge. A coalition of nearly 200 health professional schools supports an initiative, backed by the American Medical Association (AMA), to instruct students on how the changing planet is impacting health and altering the course of illness and disease.

One could argue all the hysteria surrounding climate change is creating a medical issue, anxiety, especially among children. That is not, however, what the proponents of “climate medicine” have in mind. The movement is aimed at influencing world view—to train tomorrow’s doctors to look at disease and illness through a political lens of doom and gloom.

A sampling of some of the courses being offered in medical school paints a fuller picture of the inroads that climate alarmism has made.

The University of Colorado School of Medicine offers a course, Climate Medicine, that not only includes field trips to Rocky Mountain National Park but also teaches students how to write op-eds on the subject of climate change. The school also offers a fellowship focused on “climate change and health policy” for physicians.

A “Brain and Behavior” lecture at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Beth Israel explores how fossil-fuels are related to neurodegenerative conditions.

Stanford University School of Medicine student Anna Goshua told the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) that she and other students are actively working on making climate change a regular part of her school’s curriculum.

All the more reason to get healthy and stay healthy.

Most of the major diseases that kill us are due to the food we eat and how we live.

Honestly, it looks like a dark side deal between big medicine and big food designed to keep us as life long customers to both businesses until our early medically-intensive deaths.

Learn about nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. It’s not difficult to have and enjoy a long, healthy, happy life with minimal medical intervention! We are designed this way.

Get all your “food” as close to the way God makes it as possible. That’s what our bodies are designed for. No more highly-processed frankenfood!

Eat only real, whole, food as grown, with the only food processing done by YOU in YOUR kitchen.

Imagine living without pain and pills, being able to fit into your old clothes instead of donating them, sleeping well and being healthy ... just by eating better and moving ... even if it’s just walking a little bit every day.

It’s totally achievable by you, me and everyone else... even our pets, too!

For example, I see dogs as a kind of canary in the coal mine for our health as we age.

They suffer and die from the same diseases, get the same meds to fight them as we do ... and ... they eat the same diet we eat, too. Hmmm ...

No coincidences. Just lots of clues to tell us how things really are.

And, if we choose to listen to them, the rewards are great, including avoiding Big Medical’s pharmacological solutions to your “best” life possible for the time you have left.

...Marcus L. Hamen, The Atlantic Migration: 1607-1860, Cambridge, 1940, p. 274. Hansen's estimate has been supported by the research of Professor A. E. Zucker of the University of Maryland and a number of other scholars who have collaborated on the preparation of The Forty-Eighters, a centenary volume to be published by Columbia University Press this fall. Restricting themselves to Revolutionary "Forty-Eighters" who came to the United States from German-speaking countries, the authors were able to locate only about three hundred persons of all denominations...
