In this episode of “Shocked? Me, Neither”…
The American Medical Association (AMA) has all but flushed the Hippocratic Oath down the toilet with its pledge to ramp up its support for (pick one, or more): “cross-sex medical interventions,” “gender-affirming care,” “sex-change operations,” or the irreversible mutilation of children’s bodies.
The AMA’s House of Delegates passed a resolution on Monday in support of “gender-affirming care” for “youths with gender identity issues,” according to the Endocrine Society, the sponsor of the resolution. In a press release titled “AMA strengthens its policy on protecting access to gender-affirming care,” the organization said:
As political attacks on gender-affirming care escalate, it is the responsibility of the medical community to speak out in support of evidence-based care. Medical decisions should be made by patients, their relatives and health care providers, not politicians.
In the resolution, the AMA committed to opposing any criminal and legal penalties against patients seeking gender-affirming care, family members or guardians who support them in seeking medical care, and health care facilities and clinicians who provide gender-affirming care.
The AMA will work at the federal and state level with legislators and regulators to oppose such policies and collaborate with other organizations to educate the Federation of State Medical Boards about the importance of gender-affirming care.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Urological Association, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the American College of Physicians, the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology, GLMA: Health Professionals Advancing LGBTQ+ Equality and AMA’s Medical Student Section co-sponsored the Society’s resolution.
This is not only madness; it is immoral. How many times have we read or said it?
Children want to be any number of things “when they grow up,” one day, and a different thing, the next. Toss in indoctrination in the public school system, and boom: confused boys think they want to be girls, and vice versa. So now we have the AMA jumping on the bandwagon with both pandering feet — and actively promoting the mutilation of young kids.
And the Hippocratic Oath? The modern pledge (written in 1964) reads, in part (emphasis, mine):
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
[…]
If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person’s family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
[…]
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
Is today’s AMA making a mockery of the above oath? Hell yes, it is.
To believe that a physician who truly subscribes to the Hippocratic Oath can rightly, ethically, and morally, perform irreversible double mastectomies or castrations on confused children is to intentionally reject the very oath he or she pledged to uphold.
The adopted resolution was written by two medical students, both of whom are transgender, according to MedPage Today. Charles Adams and Delia Sosa absurdly expressed concerns that state restrictions on cross-sex treatments for children “endangered people’s lives.” Really?
As we reported in early June, a former Navy SEAL who “transitioned” to “Kristen” in 2013, then “detransitioned” back to “Chris” in 2022, continues to warn the public about the gender industry and the intentional concealing of gender dysphoria data.
One of the biggest pieces of data that they’re missing right now is that 80 percent of the kids who are going through gender dysphoria or gender confusion either before puberty and during puberty — 80 percent of those kids are corrected – [They] will get rid of all that gender confusion by the time puberty is over. 80%!
Chris Beck said he ruined his life — at the urging of manipulators.
The AMA was unavailable for comment.
Why does the Democrat Party stand steadfastly behind the sickness of so-called “gender-affirming care”? Why does Joe Biden say stupid crap like “These [anti-transitioning] bills and laws attack the most basic values and freedoms — the right to raise your own children.”?
Granted, the 80-year-old, mental acuity-declining president mumbles nonsense he’s told to mumble by far-left handlers, but he still mumbles it.
My best guess is this: Given that the Democrat Party can only remain viable on a national level by pandering to multiple sections of a patchwork quilt of disparate parts, Democrats “reason” that the more parts of the quilt they placate, the better their chances of gaining or maintaining power.
Meanwhile, when we reach a point where even the American Medical Association gleefully hops aboard the Irreversible Mutilation of Children Express, I shudder at the thought of what might lie ominously around the next corner.
AMA strengthens its policy on protecting the $$$$
more like it
What is that saying...
the love of money is the root of all evil...
and this has a big root
My MD isn’t going to jump on this creaky bandwagon. He went to med school in Nigeria and has three sons. Best, smartest doc ever.
This must be at least a 10 billion dollar a year industry otherwise the AMA would not be pushing it. It’s all about the money (er, multiple surgeries, infections, sepsis, plastic surgery, kidney and liver failures, kidney dialysis, organ transplants, etc. And the fact that most of the children who start this early will never reach 50 years old. They will all die young.
That says a lot right there.
It's a shame that Drs who come from Nigeria have more ethics then the local boys ... but at least some are not jumping on the $$$ wagon.
And a money wagon it is.
realcleanguy ... you are so right a lifetime of pain and suffering ... what could be better for the bottom line.
They want to get started early and ride that train for ever.
Meds, surgeries, mental health .. the money pot is big enough for everyone to dip in.
Hopefully some of the law suits from people de-transing will put the brakes on, but who knows.
This is an evil the world has seldom seen.
Sodom and Gomorrah type of stuff.
It’s time to give these butchers a life sentence for a single offense of mutilating a single child with no chance of parole ever.
Break everything. Form a new order from the dumpsters of the societies ravaged.
This is why I have never, and will never pay dues to the AMA. Any physician who pays dues to that disgusting organization of low life clowns needs to seriously reassess who they are and if they are truly following the credo of do no harm.
They did that for 50 years to native American women and girls. Need an appendix out? Tubes tied. Tonsils? Tubes tied. Compound fracture? Tubes tied. Numbers thrown around were as much as $10K each.
"... ultimately there are only 132,133 practicing physicians who are AMA members. That's 12.1%. A drop. A decline that has continued for decades."
” government gives cash “
that’s an interesting angle ...and we do have a history of that sort of thing.
With all the “grant”money that flows around ...somebody needs to do some auditing ...
” Form a new order”
Build back Better
just saying .....
Here's a start ...
“Build Back Biden”
OO ...took me a minute ...
thats a good one
all we need is a parts list and some glue.
But I don’t think you will need that brain ...I think he has one ... and barely used.
"Build Back Biden" (only 29 seconds)
The AMA has been dangerously “woke” for decades. It is a national disgrace.
maybe you will need that brain after all ...
this one looks defective.
Every time I hear about him saying something weird , I think ....that's gotta be the bee or something ..nobody could say something like that ... and then I see the vid and SLAP ..
did he just say “we cut down all our trees .. to make it easier to make money?
Has he got 17 year old speech writers?
How much longer will they keep him out front?
it's crazy.
I missed it if he did. Hard to follow his speech for very long.
You might find the following vids entertaining, frightening ... or just puzzling.
Senile Joe Biden 1.23K Followers
If you get to the bottom of the page you will notice there are several more pages of video clips.
all right ...I'll bite.
If this turns out be something like a bunch of old men in underwear ... I'll be back
and I'll bring a stick.
Nope. Just one old man in Depends.
