Celebrate National Freedom Day!
May 1, 2011 in Medicine
May 1st 2011, the day that justice finally caught up with Osama Bin Laden and only one day after the anniversary of the death of Adolf Hitler on April 30th 1945. Arguably, two of the most hated figures in the entire history of the United States nearly on the same day. Formerly known as International Workers Day (Mayday – a holiday rarely celebrated in the US), May 1st should henceforth and forever be known as National Freedom Day!
Want to know why you leave what I wrote on your website. Is it because it’s all true, or is it a mockery of a patient (which the doctors on your website delight in doing all the time). In case you’re leaving it there because it’s true, you ought to add this posting as well (see below). You ought to also add read the book “Road to Serfdom,” because it was in this now famous book the “mind” of doctors is ridiculed. “That kind of mind” is what the author F.A. Hayek wrote, which was written in derogatory fashion. I grew up with doctors – and one thing I know is that they do not have to “think,” they just have to “know.” The only thinking exercised in medicine is involved in healing, which today’s doctors will not do. And it is that “kind of mind” that thinks intelligence is simple “knowledge.” The day doctors HEAL patients OUTSIDE their GROUP-mindedness, then we can all say there is true intelligence in medicine and liberty in the United States.
Other Posting you should post:
Over 100,000 people died every year in hospitals during the 90s (Ralph Nadar puts the figure at 300,000 a year during the ’90s), so what I want to know is what are the demographics of those who died? And I wonder too how “profit” can be seen as the only motive behind physician abuse of patients. If over 3,000,000 died in U.S. hospitals over a decade then it should be easy to conclude that physicians are politically motivated in their exploitation of patients. From my own experience, physicians exploit infectious disease and it is this exploitation that allows them to without a conscience operate unnecessarily on thousands of patients. Like Guliani did for lowering crime in NY by arresting those who jumped the turnstyles for a free subway ride, the government should be prosecuting those physicians who exploit infections for profit (a form a fraud). A couple of successful prosecutions would send a reveberating chill through the entire medical community. It is murder after all. That’s what it really is all about. Note: Haven’t read your book yet Ms. Gibson but from excerpts it appears to be a little candy-coated. The dark side of a physicians’ psyche was apparent to government officials in the ’50s when it limited the number of doctors who could graduate from medical school because the government KNEW what they were capable of. To those queazy at the thought of the dark side of physicians’ psyche, please note that it is often necessary to have such a psyche if you want your physician to be totally detached as he/she successfully puts a shattered skull together to save a life. That’s just how doctors are – which is why universal health care is most certain to be a disaster. The powerless patient must become more knowledgeable too. High school students should be required to take courses in diseases and taught how to recognize what a doctor is doing.
