Well, doctors and hospitals are in it for benevolence and helping humanity. Those others are just salespeople who just want your money. So of COURSE we can trust the doctors. (Sarcasm.)

Unfortunately, while I believe that many doctors truly are in medicine to help humanity, most have been so deceived that they cannot possibly conceive of the ways they have been lied to and misled. It truly is a deception of evil proportions, I am NOT saying the doctors themselves are all evil (yes, many, many are) but that many well-intended, compassionate people went into medicine with the noblest of motives and intentions. However, most grew up immersed in the conventional medicine paradigm, believe that modern medicine and scientific advances are God’s gifts to humankind, and they literally cannot imagine that their teachers and mentors would themselves have been misled or lied to.

Earlier this year a cardiologist friend was exclaiming about a mutual, elderly, retired physician friend who had (despite being vaccinated, although that part was not acknowledged) contracted the Virus. “Isn’t it wonderful that XXXX has gone these two years and not gotten (The Virus), but now when she does, there is Paxlovid for it?!” I mean, Pax is God’s gift, in her eyes.

I pointed out that early treatment has existed even before Pax, but my comment was not heard or attended to amidst the other comments.

Agree most Drs are in it for the right reasons, but what good are they if they don’t question the $cience and the orders to obey and be quiet? The new young Drs that I recently met at a University hospital in AZ wanted no discussion about the jab risks etc. My SIL was admitted there for breathing issues and seizures. She’s been jabbed and boosted and has had no health issues in the past except for a knee injury. All the young Drs there just said they were following hospital protocols and mandates as they proceeded to put her on a vent. Thank God we flew down there to be by her side and fight for her life. Thank God we did! Talking to the sheeple who are lining up for their 4th jab is of no use. Unless the MSM reveals the truth they will continue to go along to get along and follow orders. It’s quite scary.

The habits of following the rules and keeping one’s thoughts “inside the box” are inculcated early and thoroughly in our modern industrial educational system.

Despite claims to the contrary, our current industrial educational system does not encourage or often even tolerate original ideas or questions or ways of doing things. And, how can it, when 30 or more kids are warehoused ina single classroom, and the teacher is expected to get all of them through a proscribed curriculum?

Those who adapt best to this system are those, generally, who are rewarded with the good grades They can learn what is given to them, regurgitate it on tests, and thus progress to the next level. And to college, and eventually to medical school or elsewhere.

So, you see, they are accustomed to jumping through the hoops, to not rocking the boat much, to regurgitating what they have been told. Not all of them, of course. But many. And they have zero idea that this is the case. Zero.

Doctors...

Willingly join a profession that actively engages in restraint of trade by severely limiting the number of people that can practice medicine thus resulting in bills that can bankrupt the medical consumer.

They prescribe many patented high cost drugs when there are many low cost alternatives.

Pax is God’s gift, in her eyes and her BANK ACCOUNT. Bet she has a large Pfizer stock stash!

Physician, heal thyself.

Yes. However, most of us have been trained to view any kind of licensing as being done to protect the public rather than as a means of restraining activity.

I like how I recently heard someone define license: “a license is permission to do what would otherwise not be permitted.”

So, license to drive a car. Really, I am not allowed to drive, without government permission? License to cut hair? I cannot cut hair without government permission?

I mean, somehow we do want to ensure a certain level of competency in our communities. We want to know that folks behind the wheel of a car know the traffic laws and have learned how to safely operate the 2,000 pound hunk of steel they are propelling down the highway. But it does also seem a useful exercise to re-examine what, exactly, licensure REALLY means.

I mean, I had never given it much thought myself until the last couple of years.

Point being, many doctors don’t realize that licenses do indeed restrict trade. They just don’t see it that way.

And yes, we need other non-conventional physicians to be free to do some of what currently is restricted by the licensing and board cert hurdles.
