The death of doctors
Pushing Rubber Downhill ^ | 27 Sep, 2021 | Adam Piggott Gentleman adventurer

Posted on 09/28/2021 5:29:23 AM PDT by MtnClimber

My grandparents grew up in the great depression. I’d like to recount for the sake of this piece that they recounted me stories of that experience, perhaps around an open fire on a cold winter night. Alas, my childhood was a neglected one. But I did get out of my grandfather a strongly worded piece of advice which was to never trust bankers. This was hard won information from the front line of the depression. According to my pappy, the bankers weren’t just arseholes; they were evil sons of bitches who foreclosed whenever and wherever they could because they were incentivised to do so. And often people were foreclosed on illegally.

Follow the money is always the golden rule. The question is not what are people working on, but rather who are they working for? The Covid scam has only eighteen months on the decade of the great depression and there is still quite a ways to go. But who will it be that will have lost the trust of this generation when everything is over?

Many would reason that science and scientists are the most damaged by the current events that plague us. But this is not a scientific event, it is a medical one. And anyway, scientists have been losing their credibility for the last fifty years with most of that poor performance based on the climate.

But most of all, scientists have not destroyed people’s lives on a large scale like the depression did. Yes, they have been on board with the edicts of the regime, but their words have not carried anywhere near the weight of doctors and nurses over the course of this manufactured crisis.

In this weekend’s edition of The Australian there were two articles that dealt with issues in the medical industry, and an industry is what it is. Doctors too keen to operate and The doctors betraying their oath to do no harm both caught my eye on Saturday morning. In the world of mainstream media, this sort of coordinated activity usually means a hit job. But why pull a hit job on doctors at this crucial time? The establishment needs them more than ever.

Our own experience as doctors and researchers has shown that much of medicine doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do: improve health. Modern medical care is designed to maximise the number of encounters with the system, constantly prescribing, operating, testing and scanning, and prioritising business over science. It’s a system rife with perverse incentives and unintended consequences producing health care without necessarily improving the health of the recipients of that care.

Surely this sort of message directly undermines what governments are attempting to achieve with the vaccination program. But the question is not why this message at this time. Instead, we should consider for whom is this message? This direct threat.

I think it is the AMA and their collusion with the leftist-marxist politicians that is the main problem, but doctors are not fighting them over being propaganda mouthpieces for the communist .gov.

Deep State has created a de facto NHS.

Socialized medicine in everything but name.

People are no longer patients.

We’re just the grist for Deep State’s medical mills.

Clap for carers!

Polly at her best:

28 Sept: Bitchute: 38m: Amazing Polly: BOOM! VACCINE EXEMPTION HIJACKERS EXPOSED!
Wonder why you suddenly can’t get a medical exemption from the COVID ‘vaccine?...
First I set the stage by going over the INSANE “guidance” on adverse reactions and exemptions & at about 18 minutes I hit the detonator!...

You nailed that one.

Wait till we run out of doctors with the millions of wetbacks invading our country.

Doctors are not the only profession that's been subsumed by forcing its members to practice Law and Finance.

How many professionals are now reduced to agents of a korporation's Legal and Accounting departments?

From "The customer is always right." to "What will Legal and Accounting approve of?"

Most doctors, mainly those who practice corporate medicine working for large institutions like Baylor Scott & White here in Texas, are quacks when it comes to treating Covid-19. They do not believe in early treatment and are incentivized to treat patients only after admission thru the ER. I’ve had to go to individual practitioners.

“ According to my pappy, the bankers weren’t just arseholes; they were evil sons of bitches who foreclosed whenever...”

What kind of nasty folksy ignorant bigotry is this?

People are good, people are bad. Bigots who hate in categories and pass it on two generations fit into that spectrum themselves.

The AMA gave in to abortion. The AMA is pro abortion. That tells anyone all they need to know about what is going on there.

these go well with Polly.

beginning at 41m45s, ABC presenter responds to caller that medical exemptions are narrow, basically only allergies.
there are lots of “allergies” references in Polly’s podcast.

once again, this seems to be proof there is an INTERNATIONAL SCRIPT driving the whole covid/vaccine narrative. worth listening from around 23min in - ABC are such shills:

AUDIO: 47m35s: 27 Sept: ABC Australia: Life Matters: Talkback: Should vaccinations be mandatory?
By Hilary Harper
Mandatory vaccinations are becoming more common in Australian workplaces, as well as in public and private spaces...
Guests:
Dr Katie Attwell, Senior lecturer at the University of Western Australia’s School of Social Science who specialises in mandatory vaccination policy across Australia, Europe and The United States of America

Liam Elphick, Associate Lecturer at the Monash University Faculty of Law who specialises in discrimination.
https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/lifematters/talkback:-should-vaccinations-be-mandatory/13555120

another example of ABC’s covid mind-set:

AUDIO: 16m45s: 27 Sept: ABC Australia: The Health Report: Who gets care if hospitals become overwhelmed?
with Dr Norman Swan
What may happen if the hospital systems in NSW and Victoria are overwhelmed when we open up at 70 and 80% (VACCINATED) and the expected surge in cases occurs.

While we’re told the system will cope, it may do so because of tough decisions by doctors about who gets into intensive care units and who doesn’t.
There have been calls for some years for decision making guidelines to be created for emergencies such as pandemics.

There are a ton of reasons for what ‘ails’ medicine right now. Don’t have time right now to comment further, but the problems are at multiple levels.

I’ve noticed the same. The doctors that are part of these conglomerates are towing the CDC party line. Sadly, the best doctors around me retired under Obamacare. The quality of healthcare has never been the same.

Anyone without compassion for the life of an unborn baby, has no compassion. People are excess livestock to them. Zoo animals are precious to them.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This became totally apparent to me 3 years ago when I started my own journey back to health and is why we have a metabolic syndrome/T2D/obesity epidemic in this country. Some few docs have seen the light, but the majority either have not or don’t want to for reasons made obvious by the article.

How has the “do not treat” early outpatient COVID affected our family personally? My elderly parents, both of whom grew up in an age when docs were some of the most highly educated and respected people in society, almost a god-like status (you did exactly what they told you to do), are now NOT going to their docs, not getting flu shots, and are very unhappy with ‘doctors’ in general. Both will opt to die at home rather than going to an ER with suspected COVID & ending up in a COVID ward dying alone. At their ages, they would be killed by Remdesivir/vent (the only treatment in our area). My mom had a personal conversation with her doc on whether she would treat early (actually gave her the AAPS booklet on it) .... “Early treatment? What is that?” was the line she got. Anyway, I think “medicine” IS going to change .... those docs who are actually doing something (successfully) about metabolic syndrome/T2D/obesity are opting for direct primary care (accept no insurance) so they are free to practice medicine, one on one with their patients, not follow insurance company diktats. A lot of these docs are also the ones TREATING their patients early outpatient so they do not end up in the hospital (& their patients are 100% or close to it not going to the hospital).

Most docs don’t even belong to the ama. Including myself.

All of this is true.

While much of the cause of this is raking in the money from the insurance companies, a great deal is caused by lawyers and malpractice suits.

The doctors have to cover their butts.

I got my first taste of that when I was about 15. I was at an appointment with my doctor. It was your typical doctors office with a reception area, some nursing stations and a half dozen exam rooms.

During the appointment we were shooting the breeze about a youth summer camp and it turned out he went there as a kid. He led me downstairs to his office to show me an old photograph of the camp he had on his wall. I had no idea the office even had a basement. The basement was full of offices with young women working away at all the insurance and business stuff. As I recollect, there were more admin staff than medical staff.

That’s when I realized just how much of doctoring was business.
