Letter to Physicians: Have You Checked Your 1947 Nuremberg Code Today?

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen of the Medical Profession:

I’m old enough to remember when physicians were held in regard like deacons. Medicine was understood to be “not just a profession but a calling” (as the cliché ran). It was not uncommon to see a car parked haphazardly with a “Physician on Call” sign on the dashboard, and no one gave it a second thought, such was the regard for medical doctors. Watch re-runs of MASH for fine illustration of how this “calling” was once understood to act as a special moral beacon within society.

Of course I noticed how many of them were Jewish. Perhaps it was for that reason that I gravitated to a number of great Jewish professors. I gravitated to them because they seemed normal to me, and they seemed normal. Brilliant. Smart. Sane. They said one sentence, then another sentence, and I understood why the second sentence followed from the first. They were unlike other humanities professors, who spoke in jargon bordering on incantations.

My respect for the medical community was very high. I realized how highly I respected them when I no longer did. My opinions have radically shifted about the political and profiteering nature of medicine. It is simply not what I thought it was. Sure, there are good doctors, but the system is corrupted - just like everything else in Weimerica.
