India's first medical clinic for transgender people has shut operations in three cities after US President Donald Trump stopped foreign aid to it. Mitr (friend) Clinic, which was started in 2021 in the southern city of Hyderabad, offered HIV treatment, gender affirming support and counselling services to thousands of transgender people. In Hyderabad, the Mitr Clinic offered care to 150 to 200 transgender patients each month, many of whom suffered from HIV. The clinic had a small team of doctors, psychologists and technical staff.

If you search “women’s experiences at Planned Parenthood” on Google, you will find mostly positive news articles about Planned Parenthood (with the majority on Planned Parenthood’s website), and stories about “harrowing” pregnancy experiences states that protect preborn children from abortion. However, a look at the Google reviews of individual Planned Parenthood facilities provides an interesting perspective… and tells a far different story. Though strictly anecdotal, these reviews highlight the allegations of former Planned Parenthood patients — that many women have suffered from medical negligence, coercion, and a lack of maternal health services at Planned Parenthood facilities across the country. The...

A North Carolina Court of Appeals found that a clinic, where personnel gave a 14-year-old boy a COVID-19 shot without his consent or parental consent, was protected by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act). The court concluded that the Guilford Board of Education, which hosted the clinic, was also covered by the PREP Act.1Despite calling the act of forcing a child to get a COVID-19 shot against his will and without his parent’s consent, “egregious,” the court unanimously concluded that the PREP Act preempted state law and protected the defendants from being held liable for battery, violation...

On Sunday, The Gateway Pundit reported the Mayo Clinic quietly made an admission on their site that states “Hydroxychloroquine may be used to treat coronavirus (COVID-19) in certain hospitalized patients.” Now less than 48 hours later, the Mayo Clinic has deleted their admission on their site and has replaced it with a statement that reads “Hydroxychloroquine is not recommended as a treatment for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). ” The updated web page goes on to state “Also, hydroxychloroquine doesn’t prevent infection with the virus that causes COVID-19.” Here’s what the Mayo Clinic originally showed on its site:

A Walgreens in Dallas is quietly housing a transgender clinic where patients can go get referrals for transgender transition hormones like testosterone. Then they can stroll out of the clinic into the pharmacy and get their prescriptions filled. Walgreens has sparked backlash from its customers for offering to dispense abortion drugs “in any jurisdiction where it is legally permissible to do so” and for offering to pay for employee abortion travel. The corporation has a 100% score from the Human Rights Campaign, which means its internal policies are pretty much as far left as modern-day corporations can be. Even so,...

The Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science (MCCMS) banned Dr. Michael Joyner, an anesthesiology professor, from speaking with journalists without the institution’s approval and denied his annual raise after he made public comments on COVID-19 and gender that strayed from the institution’s “prescribed messaging,” according to a letter from the Mayo Clinic published by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE).Joyner discussed the physiological advantages male athletes have over females in The New York Times in May 2022 and criticized the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for discouraging convalescent blood plasma treatments for COVID-19 in January 2023. The...

Late one night on the cusp of the 20th century, Magnus Hirschfeld, a young doctor, found a soldier on the doorstep of his practice in Germany. Distraught and agitated, the man had come to confess himself an Urning—a word used to refer to homosexual men. It explained the cover of darkness; to speak of such things was dangerous business. The infamous “Paragraph 175” in the German criminal code made homosexuality illegal; a man so accused could be stripped of his ranks and titles and thrown in jail.Hirschfeld understood the soldier’s plight—he was himself both homosexual and Jewish—and did his best...

At the beginning of last week I referenced a Cleveland Clinic study that demonstrated that vaccinated employees of the institution contracted COVID at a substantially higher rate than those who chose not to get vaccinated, and that the relationship gets stronger the more doses of the vaccine the person got. The relationship was striking and worrisome, and even led the researchers–no slouches here, as the Cleveland Clinic rivals the Mayo Clinic as the most prestigious medical institution in the country–to suggest a reconsideration of current vaccine policies. They don’t exactly criticize current policy, but their analysis clearly implied that the...

Mayo Clinic has declined to consider a kidney transplant for an unvaccinated woman with stage-four kidney disease, she told Alpha News. That woman, Amy Broten, received a letter Nov. 1 informing her that her kidney transplant evaluation was denied. “You have medical issues that need to be stabilized and/or improved prior to evaluation. The medical issues include: patient not willing to comply with the transplant team immunization requirements and recommendations,” the letter says.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC/WKRC/CNN Newsource) - There was an angry protest outside of one of America's most respected medical institutions on Monday. The world famous Mayo Clinic made good on a threat to fire employees who refused COVID vaccinations on January 3. That number reached a reported 700 employees, according to CBS Minnesota. That makes up about 1% of Mayo's 73,000 workforce. Between chanting, honking and marching, protesters outside of Mayo Clinic made their message clear. The hospital's deadline for its employees to get vaccinated -- or terminated -- prompted dozens to speak out. Some now-former employees joined in after their...

I’m guessing now that this is happening all over the country and the elite media has just refused to report it. If your hospital or provider has suspended its mandate, please let me know.

Bishops’ migration chairman welcomes ruling fully restoring DACAWASHINGTON, D.C. — The chairman of the U.S. bishops’ migration committee Dec. 8 welcomed the court ruling fully restoring the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, but said only Congress can “take up and pass legislation granting Dreamers a path to citizenship.”The bishops “are particularly pleased that with this ruling,” handed down late Dec. 4 by Judge Nicholas G.

Several Florida abortion facilities have recently closed, including a longtime National Abortion Federation (NAF) facility in South Florida owned by an abortionist once accused of forcing an abortion on his pregnant wife.

A phone call made by Live Action News independently verified that a recorded message left by the abortion facility states,...

Sterling Heights, MI – Not every danger faced by women at abortion facilities happens in the procedure room. An incident on June 14, 2019, at the Northland Family Planning – also known as Serendipity – in Sterling Heights, Michigan, is a case in point. A couple was engaged in a heated argument as they pulled into the abortion facility parking lot just before 8:00 a.m., while the clinic was still preparing to open for the day. A series of five 911 calls placed by five different witnesses detailed what happened next. “She was trying to get out of the car...

SEARCH MENU Woman Opens Life-Saving Pregnancy Center After Planned Parenthood Invades Her Neighborhood National Gayle Irwin Jan 2, 2019 | 5:15PM Washington, DC Nearly four years ago, when Planned Parenthood opened a clinic in her community, Ivette Rodriguez envisioned leading a pregnancy center to touch the hearts and minds of women tempted to end the lives of their unborn children.

Although the journey here has had its bumps, Rodriguez’ faith has empowered her to see it through. “This is an answer...

Is there any profession that merits the esteem that doctors have?  I don't think so. What doctors do not only requires significant brains, but requires professionalism, because patient trust is so critical.  Without that trust, how would a doctor be able to get a patient to take his or her clothes off, bend over for an exam, or accept a medical treatment with bad side effects?  Trust is what makes the whole profession work. This is why this story out of Cleveland is so chilling. Medical resident at Cleveland Clinic Lara Kollab, who published antisemitic statements on Twitter regarding her Jewish patients at the hospital, was dismissed from...
