The Centralized, Corrupt Medical System is All About Money

I spent 4 years at an Ivy-league medical school. The truth about healthcare is SO, SO, SO much worse than you are imagining.

When you have done the literally thousands of hours of research into the reality of healthcare as I have done, some of what is going on currently makes more sense, although it is enough to make anyone on earth cry. Pharma control was so entrenched, doctors so brainwashed, and the population so dumbed down that it literally might have taken something as disgusting as the covid vaccine (worse than normal vaccines which are already bad by at least 2 to 3 orders of magnitude) to wake the population up. It breaks my heart. but maybe, just maybe, it will bring down the empire of lies.

Excellent read! The article sums up quite nicely why my wife and I have been anti-allopathic medicine, generally, for decades.

Some of the feedback following the article is also quite enlightening. I tend to agree that very likely the biggest problem with Western medicine today is that it has all become centralized. The old days of when medicine was basically between a doctor and his patient are long gone. Now, the bureaucratic red tape is tougher to traverse than the thick rain forest in the Amazon during the rainy season. And all this administrative bureaucracy largely accounts for the grossly exorbitant costs to patients.

None of these things should come as a surprise to anyone.

For decades I have been posting that most doctors are trash. Most hospital staff are trash. And that you better watch your back and the backs of every loved one you care for that has the unfortunate task of being treated by such.

I've also been posting for decades that the world is far, far worse and far, far eviler than we could ever imagine.

It is ALL about power, money and control. That's it. EVERYTHING basically comes down to these three things.

Only the cucks think people actually care and want to help.

YES, some people do care and do want to help.

But those in CONTROL, those with MONEY and those with POWER, for the most part, couldn't give two ****s.

That has not been my experience. Had the same doctor for 20 years. Never had a bad experience with clinic or hospital staff. None of my friends or family report differently. Maybe we’re just lucky.

I should add that even the occasional trip to urgent care has been uneventful. Medical staff has been courteous and attentive.

I pick my doctors very carefully and I have had HORRIBLE experiences, even with the ones I chose so carefully.

Covid has made it far worse, as it has (essentially) given doctors permission to treat patients like crap.

Example:
In Reno, there are TWO organizations that do gastro work. (i.e. colonoscopies & endoscopies)

I got a scheduling call from them in November and missed the call. Called back 4 times and have been waiting ever since. (Note: this has been NORMAL for them for 15 years.)

What is different is that - when I drove down there to make an appointment in person, they had NOBODY there to schedule!

They've FIRED the entire scheduling department and now have ONE person working from home.

They told me I could leave a message but return calls are 60-90 days out.

_________
So, I called the other guys, got a same-day appointment, and was scheduled for 6 weeks out.

Dave, they don't have an online scheduling system? Are they running a 2000 era doctor office?

,That's the only thing I like about the group I'm with now. Easy to make an appointment online and see all the hours open.

However. I've never found a doctor I liked or had good relationship with. I have one chronic health condition that is well managed. Everytime I go in the guy wants to put me on something else or a new drug (aka not a generic). Nah, I feel great, my stats are good, I'll stick with my $25 copay every 90 days.

The few times I've been to an Urgent Care have been horrible save for one time. I usually had a half hour or more wait with no one else in the waiting room. And most times I went it was the same thing. For some reason there was a three year stretch I was susceptible to getting infections in my fingers. You know, they swell up and fill with pus. Same antibiotic everytime but I had to wait hours for an urgent care doc.

The one urgent care I remember dearly was quick and efficient and parts almost something out of a porno! Two smoking hot nurses by my side and a witty fast doctor. I almost didn't want to leave!

The FLEECING of the public is another reason I left. Having come back it is so much worse.

NOTHIG is centralized other than at the state level where licensure standards are extablshed and discilinary action take place.. that is OTHER than the myriad of ambulance chasers that wse did not have.

I was once at a national seminar and over heard a discussion that digusted me.

Dr overheard: "Well she really did not NEED that surgery, but I coaxed her to do it since I needed an extra payments on my boat."

I tell everyone: IF you beleive your pracitioner is not doing his/her job FIRE THEM..If they do not make you a participant in your diagnosis and therapy, FIRE THEM as well. Try to find a pratitioner who is also a teacher at a med school. Those are just about all internists and are the sharpest ones out there.

I agree completely 46zilzal,


there are hospitals and some state medical boards that tell their doctors what they CAN NOT do, as far as treating patients the doctors have seen but the boards have not.

and then there are medicare scams going on all over the place. Every 3 months my dad goes to a dermatologist that cuts out a chunk of his skin for a biopsy, that always comes back good and sometimes gets infected.

Bingo! You correctly completed the world's trifecta: Money, Power and Sex. Of course, the bible expresses this trifecta a little differently by saying "that all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father but is from the world" (1Jn 2:16).

Actually, control is redundant with power. If power isn't about control, then what is it about?

Also, many in the world strive to seek sexual satisfaction who are not all that interested in money or power. Or conversely, some people are so consumed with money and power, that sex takes a back seat to these. Only the most vile of reprobates actively pursue all three.
