Med schools are even more woke than you think — and your care is at risk
New York Post ^ | November 16, 2022 | Dr. Stanley Goldfarb

Just how woke is your nearest medical school? Likely very woke — yet the organization that helps oversee medical schools thinks it’s not woke enough.

So says the Association of American Medical Colleges, which last week released the first-ever analysis of the extent to which “diversity, equity and inclusion” have infected the institutions training future physicians. I’ve covered this trend for years, but even I didn’t realize just how much patients should worry about the decline in standards and, in time, the quality of their own care.

The AAMC surveyed 101 institutions, representing almost two-thirds of American medical schools (two are in Canada), asking for audits of their DEI-related policies and programs. While the AAMC doesn’t appear to have released a list of participating schools, my organization discovered the audits’ existence in October, when Ohio State University included the document prepared by its College of Medicine in response to our freedom of information request.

They might as well as just say they’re anti white, anti heterosexual and anti male.

What is going to happen when someone’s family member dies because they were denied care because of the color of their skin?

Some idiot “doctors” are going to end up getting killed.

If that was all they were it would not be nearly as troubling.

But they are anti-reality.

Go look up the book from the AAP. It is delusional and anti-science.

I have no doubt that shortly they will begin to wave dead chickens around to drive off the evil spirits that are causing your pain.

I have already lost all respect for the majority of our medical professionals from the Fauci Flu Scam. However I have always asked every Doctor I have seen if they got in to Medical school thru an affirmative action program, or did you actually study?

My mom is former nurse and she got the Merck Manual over a decade ago as a medical reference. Browsing through it, I saw the seeds of developing irrational wokism even then. It has only metastasized in recent years.

So we were right in second guessing doctors then.
This seems to confirm that the medical field is heading towards the sewers.

Its ome of the reasons I have stayed away from doctors in my adult life. They are very different than the doctors I had as a child/juvenile.

I esentially did the same thing. Went on Medicare, thought I had better get a checkup as I have to take care of my elderly mother. Had a blood test which showed I had high cholesterol. I changed my diet and my cholesterol dropped over 100 points in a month, just 15 points away from the recommended goal of 200. Instead of asking me what I did with encouragement to control what I was doing and a followup blood test in a few months, doctor wanted to put me on a statin. I said no.

I don’t want some woke doctor prescribing drugs. I know not all doctors are this way, but I was really discouraged. I’m looking for a doctor who is of the mind that food is medicine.

I’ve encountered this.

I recently went back into the VA medical system for a service-connected disability issue which had worsened. I brought in a list of my private practice prescribed meds and told my VA-assigned Primary Care doctor I had a quad bypass a few years ago. Knowing I was vaxxed the VA doctor removed my prescribed anti-coagulant and told me to reduce aspirin. Then he prescribes two medicines which have warnings for causing heart attacks. Thankfully, I stuck with my old VA-habit of researching all newly prescribed meds I get from the VA so didn’t take them and used the anti-coagulant from my private care doctor.

Then I have a prescription telephonic meeting with a new, young VA prescription tech. They do a speakerphone conference going over my meds. The young tech reveiws my meds list and tells me to reduce aspirin use and be sure to take the meds which cause heart attacks!

I have another teleconference with him in the future and will consider questioning him about removing the anti-coagulants and prescribing known heart attack risks to a quad bypass recipient with high blood pressure and vaxxed.

Woketards.
