My dr was amazing. I can’t remember how the conversation started but drs were being encouraged to push the vax. I told him I didn’t think it was a good idea for me and if he was pressured to make his patients take it, I would leave as I didn’t want him to get in trouble. I think drs, at the time, were being pushed with threats of punishment in some way if they weren’t able to get their patients to take the vax?
He was working on his tablet, putting in notes and stopped. He looked up at me and said, “I will fight for you.” God, I am so blessed with him as my dr.
(Now we know that they were at least being rewarded with higher percentages of patients vaxed - https://www.thedesertreview.com/news/doctors-received-bonus-payments-to-administer-covid-19-shots/article_85bdabf4-e088-11ed-8fba-8b0a1d61346b.html)
Deep State knew what it was doing when it included the electronic medical records legislation in the Bush Porkulus.
EMRs ensured that the independent doc would be a rare bird.
When you see a doc at a health system, that doc doesn’t work for you.
That doc works for the health system signing his/her paycheck.
Patients are just the grist for Deep State’s medical mills.
RFK, Jr, if you really want to MAHA, make it possible for independent docs to have their own private practices again.
Include tort reform.
Our de facto NHS is killing us.
Literally.
“I am so blessed with him as my dr.”
You are, for sure.
And I think, as you noted, it wasn’t so much that they’d get in trouble for not pushing the vax, but that they’d be raking in filthy lucre for every notch on their belts.
When my PCP encouraged the vax right at the beginning, my body language, and the darts coming from my eyes, when I said, “No!”, clued her in that she needed to let it go.
