Sitting here with a big smile on my face thinking about my first year med school class that taught us how to keep patients sick in order to maximize profits.

Right? I was also surprised to learn just how profitable vaccines are for individual clinicians! That's why I recommend at least 17 boosters to each patient at every appointment.
With inpatient nursing, the push was all about admitting patients quickly, then getting grief from management about why they were still here and when are they leaving.
I've been going around telling people who suggest that, that they ought to be looking in the business offices, not in the visit rooms populated by burned out clinicians who are on the verge of quitting like others have
I know this is tongue in cheek but is it in reference to an event or did this actually get implied in a course. I fear seeming naive but it also seems at least a little plausible given the state of healthcare in the U.S.
Ahh yes, back in the day when men were men, when doctors had plenty of time to do surgery in between rounds of golf, and before headlines from The Onion were understood to be prophecy.
I’ve always wanted to ask you about the amount of cheating in Med School. My alma mater hates it when I’ve brought this up, but we had a 97% med school acceptance rate. I was only in calc, calc based physics, o chem, etc because the Navy was paying my tuition. The problem in these classes was
the pre med majors cheated. A lot. I failed a quarter of physics with an 89% because of the curve. Our prof left the hall the hall during exams. There were two of us Midshipman in there. The others were pre med. They’d get their stuff out and take the test together. But we signed an honor code.
So..is cheating as common in Med School as it was among pre-med students at my university? I am a psychology professor now, and I see a lot of AI usage. But I have “traps”
to detect it. My pre-med students try to cheat a lot. They are not alone. But my other STEM students do it a little less
Looks like I learned it in wrong order. First I learned poisoning in MS, then as regulatory toxicologist for big pharma I learned how to get it FDA approved. 3rd step was identifying new molecules toxic to cancer cells in PhD. Finally I woke up one morning and joined med school to use it all
Pretty sure all those freezing drops they put in my eyes before I got my new cataracts were full of the vax, and now I’m basically a ticking time bomb for Marburg virus or something.
I became painfully aware of this back when nonprofit SDMC entered a “partnership” w/ HCA; mission statement on our ID tags changed to incl “uphold value for shareholders”; goal became profiting off people’s sickness; no profit in keeping people healthy 😕
Don’t forget that all the doctors are taught to never vaccinate themselves and their families. They just say they do and cash the pharmaceutical checks they get for deceitful lies.
It’s insane to me honestly
It would take so much work and so much sociopathy to actually do it. There’s millions of people employed in these industries and a huge percentage of them would have to be in on it
Every nurse, every doctor, every pharmacist, every PA/NP, every pharmaceutical company employee, every hospital admin person would have to keep it a secret
WHAT?? Is this really true? AND, by the way, I LOVE you and your wife ~ and your whole family. Thank you for doing what you can to educate about the disaster that we call health care in our country.
Wouldn't have ever thought that until physicians were mandated how to handle covid instead of given the professional latitude to manage cases in their own sound judgement
I think they’re misunderstanding the difference between doctors trying whatever they can when there is no known treatment and doctors continuing to use unproven treatments when there are proven treatments available.
I can’t tell if this is satire or not 😅 but honestly, as a family physician, I am constantly shocked by how little I get to actually do preventative medicine in my everyday job… 😔
Still think about that guy from early on M3 medicine rotation who talked to us about how good it was that soon insurance companies would be able to pull biometric data. Wonder what he’s doing these days
I understand. I give out tons of soda in my office and encourage them to make it their primary fluid intake. I also recommend a diet high in peanut brittle and Jolly Ranchers. I was taught this in a well hidden course in dental school offered to help increase profits. 🤣

He had many satire videos out
IMHO
Pay more money, way more money to primary care
Then they can do more
Did they teach you that?
Please.
He. Is. Joking.
You did a bad job, though. 😌
