Don't Trust Me, I'm a Doctor
American Thinker ^ | April 14, 2025 | Brian C. Joondeph

Posted on 04/14/2025 4:50:53 AM PDT by george76

Trust me, I’m a doctor” is a humorous expression that suggests one’s opinion should be accepted without question, regardless of whether the person offering the opinion has actual medical expertise or experience.

The assumption is that physicians are knowledgeable, competent, and trustworthy. At one time, few would have questioned that assumption.

...

Lies and coverups are a great way to destroy trust.

Dr. Anthony Fauci and his cabal lied to the public about the origins of COVID

...

and to conceal their illegal gain-of-function research.

Additionally, it may have been to maintain and protect money flow from China to the pharma-industrial complex.

...

not only doctors who are held in low esteem but much of the administrative class as well.

...

the incessant TikTok videos of nurses dancing in ICUs during COVID.

...

Consider the business and school lockdowns that closed churches while allowing strip clubs and liquor stores to remain open. It was illegal to surf alone in the Pacific Ocean, yet thousands marching together on city streets in the name of BLM or Antifa were considered perfectly safe and healthy.

Masks were deemed ineffective at protecting against tiny viruses until they were mandated as effective and lifesaving. As Dr. Anthony Fauci acknowledged, social distancing was arbitrary; “It sort of just appeared.” How’s that for science? As Gomer Pyle would say, “Shazam, shazam!”

The vaccines proved to be neither safe nor effective. Otherwise, we wouldn't be hearing about sudden deaths, blood clots, or myocarditis.

...

the chance of getting COVID increased with an increasing number of vaccine doses and boosters.

Children lost years of education and

Trust lost is difficult to regain.

Doctors are MD’s. MD = Doctor of Medicine.
Doctors love to push medicines.
Doctors rarely push how to stay healthy WITHOUT Medicines.
ALL medicines have side effects, mostly adverse.
Even Aspirin can cause stomach bleeding.

“”The medical industry is one of the few industries where the members get paid regardless of the outcome.””

That may be true but attorneys are at the top of that list!

I’m so sorry for that. They don’t elicit a whole lot of trust or confidence on ordinary visits but this has to be especially stressful. Prayers for you and your wife and family.

This is where Grok is stunningly amazing . I have some very rare disorders. One is so rare there is hardly any studies on it and the ones available are mostly from Asia . I made a very specific inquiry. It took Grok less than two minutes to dig up those stories, synthesize them,and provide a cogent hypothesis to the point it even differentiated my genetics from those primarily studied giving the need for that hypothesis.

Since your wife is a good researcher take something she knows and then specifically question Grok and see what happens .

Check out fenbendazol- can be taken along with traditional cancer meds. I5s no5 exactly proven yet, but does have some research into it and of course anecdotal testimonies- which one has to take with a grain of salt. Personally I will take it if I should develop cancer- wish I had known about it years ago. But do research it-

Here’s a pub med article on it- https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23393324/

Do you trust your doctor anymore? Honestly?

Would You Trust A Doctor Who Got Kickbacks To Prescribe Your Drugs?

I like to tell a story about a cardiologist who had the typical arrogance . When I was asking some specific questions he told me I should let the people with medical degrees figure it out.

In theory that would be great if we could do that but in my case I would have never found out about multiple disorders that I have if I did that

For example, the way I found out I have p450 problems that I had never heard of was because I watched a movie that started me thinking. I paused the movie, did the research, checked my genetics, and there it was

No doctor during my entire life figured it out. It took a scene in a movie. The scene in the movie didn’t even address p450 issues that I had never heard of prior to pausing the movie . Something just clicked in my head.

I love my profession, but not what it has become and not how we all now are being forced to perform healthcare.

I can tell you categorically that the vast majority of residents and fellows who I work with and train are lovely, caring people who had a dream, worked hard, and want to do the right things for patients. That said, physicians and caregivers have little control over medicine these days - in large measure because of what government has done to it. As an aside, please don't ever mention Fauci when you refer to physicians. He's a bureaucrat and never really was a practicing physician in the trenches.

When you have very little understanding of the field of medicine (ie the vast majority of politicians and ideologues - like Obama) you meddle in ways that hurt everyone. Obamacare has done nothing to decrease costs, and has made medicine a living hell for both patients and physicians. It's actually heartbreaking.

I worked all weekend, have been up since 4am, haven't had a vacation in 4 years (literally), but am still behind and am going to spend my planned paperwork day today trying to cath up with charting, phone calls, and looking at results. I am not complaining, but for many physicians this is just not sustainable, and it is decreasing the quality of patient care progressively. It's really very sad.

“Trust lost is difficult to regain.”

My wife told me yesterday she will never get another vaccine or even a Tetnus shot. She just does not trust what is in them. Neither of us got the Covid vaccines. However, my son did get the J&J because he wanted to take a job at a major Pharma corp as an Associate Scientist. It gave him hives and he wore a heart monitor for a short period. That thankfully passed.

My wife also said that her GP woman Dr was really pissed off at her for NOT taking the vaccine. She really pushed it. To the point my wife has NOT returned to her practice and may never.
On the other hand my GP never pushed the vax.

Second opinions are important for such diagnosis’s. My GP accused me of wanting pain pills for my back. My left kidney was swollen to twice its size. My brother has stage 4 cancer and right now he’s bitter because his GP dismissed his pain symptoms.

Its the old joke, what do you call the person who graduated at the bottom of their medical program? Doctor.

YOU are the best doctor you’ll ever have. If what the doctor id diagnosing, treating etc. doesn’t work, find a new doctor.

Agree on the Grok thing. My wife has been dealing with a mysterious condition the last few months. Couldn’t get a straight answer after numerous visits and test with a variety of medical professionals. Asked Grok and got some decent input. We had a lot of test results to share with helped. Actually, carried on a conversation. It was interesting.

Wish your wife the best. Stage 1 is beatable.

And teaching very woke curriculum. It is not a good time to be an older white male in need of medical care. White women are not far behind.

Then look for Indian doctors. In my experience they are the best you’ll get. Stay away from Black female MDs and any woman under the age of 40ish.

My wife’s cardiologist was like that. He almost dropped her as a patient over it. Interesting our GP and her pulmonologist did seem to care.
