The medical community is a cult. Yes, it’s that simple.
I am a part of the medical community, unfortunately, and I do believe a lot of this is true.
“Evidenced based practice” is nothing but Group Think. We say it’s evidenced based, and thus it is so. No questioning that, ever. It’s how we’re all trained.
Question authority? They are now IN authority.
The general silence and lack of resistance to the ACA spoke volumes. The more recent alignment with Federal protocols & funding was the death knell. The administrative controls & dictates have much to do with my cynicism. The many uncooperative faculty members that have been shown the door are the unfortunate victims too.
The patient/doctor relationship has virtually been destroyed. One might find greater compassion at an auto boy shop.
Since you are part of the medical community, do you know if the following is true? Are “peer reviewed” articles in medical journals based on the summmaries found on pharmaceutical research articles because the peer reviewers do not have access to the data upon which the summaries are written.
I read this and would be outraged if it is true. We are all aware that pharmaceutical companies have a vested interest in making their products seem as “save and efficacious” as possible.
