Comments on: The Poisoning of Medical School Education

A number of years back (in the ’90’s), I met an acquaintance who was in medical school at the time. I asked him about the Hippocratic Oath, and he said that his medical school had a version they had just adopted, but that it really was not that important. This was a completely different attitude from all the doctors I have worked with throughout my life and I it was a little unsettling. I asked some more medical students and they all seemed to have the same attitude. This was anecdotal, I never did a scientific survey, but the episode stuck and was disturbing to me.

I was familiar with the 1948 Declaration of Geneva (available everywhere in books, online, etc) which was an update to address the issues with Nazi (and other) medical experiments, and had done a comparison with the original. The update was consistent with the original and seemed appropriate. I just went to the Internet to look it up to refresh myself … the totalitarian Left has been busy indeed with their Orwellian fetish on rewriting everything to fit their narrative of the moment. Constant changes to the Declaration of Geneva (they definitely had to pave the way for abortion and doctor-assisted suicide … which the original Hippocratic Oath and the 1948 Declaration of Geneva would not permit.) Took me some time to even find the 1948 Declaration, which was a decisive advance for world-wide medical ethics.

We now live in a very dark world.

So glad I’m a retired physician. I’m scared that these future docs may have to take care of me. Might as well just emulate the Chinese Communist cultural revolution of barefoot doctors w/o need for rigorous scientific medical education.

Whilst it is true that modern medicine is sometimes credited with the positive results of social changes, such as clean water, effective sewerage and good housing, there are limits to how far you can take a social model of disease, and they usually become apparent when significant physical symptoms start to show themselves. It is arguable that Big Pharma is a product of Western capitalism, but it would be very difficult to maintain that we should not give insulin to diabetics, or that voodoo is optimal treatment for an infected appendix. Critique of abuses is healthy (interesting how gender affirming care doesn’t get denounced as white medicine) but there has to be acceptance of those facts that are genuinely proven as a basis on which to found more functional systems. I worked at one point for a learning disabilities service which espoused social role valorisation. It was great that they tried to enable their clients to make key decisions for themselves. Less great was when one of them broke her leg and did not want it set, so they proposed honouring her decision by allowing her to use a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Ideology has to accommodate hard facts – otherwise it really will be the men in white coats that need to get involved.

In reply to Steve Chavez.

Years ago I had a chiropractor who in frustration told me that American medicine was owned by the “Great Triumvirate” – the FDA, the AMA, and the pharmaceuticals, all in bed with each other. Considering the clot-shot controversies, the pushing of reassignment surgeries on children (a perpetual money-maker), and now this, someone doesn’t want a healthy nation anymore. Modern doctors already are little more than sales agents for big pharma, well, incompetence leads to more sickness, and to more profits for big pharma? Am I a little too paranoid ot what?

Could there actually be a future where shamans, faith healers, and psychic surgeons are more successful medics that the DEI hires? Scary sh*t…

The gap between the expertise of the U.S. medical doctor and the expertise of the headhunter medicine man appears to be shrinking.
