Yes, I too have been upset at the decline in medical intelligence that has been so apparent in the last 20 yrs. As a former ICU RN, the dumbing down of critical thinking has been mind blowing 🤯. No one should go into a medical office or hospital without an advocate that can hear & think to ask questions.

It's all in how the sausage is made. "Doctors" are deprived of sleep, and conditioned to repeat back what they are told as "gospel." I would bet a shiny silver dime that the process for accrediting a "doctor" consists of mind control techniques including sleep deprivation, shaming, and fear of losing status and wealth. "My student loans, you see . . ."

Critical thinking is not valued, but condemned. Punished, even.

In my military career, there was a saying that irked me to no end: "Integrity is doing what is right, when no one is looking."

My precept was, that: "Integrity is doing what is right, when everyone is looking, and you will be punished for it."

I don't attribute this to myself, but to Jesus Christ, who was pulling me out of the muck and mire, for His glory. I cannot claim any success, but He will finish what He began.

Hi Tom.

You were close on that mil saying. It is actually, "integrity is doing what is right, especially when no one is looking." I always found it to be profound, its easy to do right when everyone is looking...

Hi, Daniel!

I'm highlighting something that the leadership was missing. They often used that messaging in the way you received it, and it is indeed profound.

What I'm pointing out is that the insincere among them would use that saying, but then would do things counter to it. Like ordering a subordinate to pencil whip a Readiness Inspection checklist, when they knew full well that a program was not being run in the spirit of the regulations.

Then, if one did the right thing, one faced consequences from the leadership. Maybe not direct punishment, but things like denial of leadership positions, promotions, or career development opportunities.

I encountered many who looked good on paper, and were detrimental to mission accomplishment.

I have been urging the MDs who left on early retirement, because they knew masks and clot shots were bs, to become paid advocate consultants to those of us who need medical intervention but don’t understand medical gobble de gook speech 🫤

They should also become functional medicine docs if they can. I have not found one here in San Diego. I would love it if my almost $200 a month going into medicare would pay for one also bc traditional medicine is not helping
