An excellent essay that echoes many of my own thoughts. As Dr. Aaron Kheriaty has pointed out, this "social justice" or "collective health" emphasis, combined with creating divisions between groups of people within that community, is precisely what let to the Nazi doctors role in the Holocaust--and the Holocaust was started by doctors. They began by eliminating people whom they saw as mentally defective (when you truly believe that your patient is the whole community, cutting out the weak and defective parts is like cutting out a cancer) and progressed down a slippery slope to the death camps.
I understand the author's reluctance to name him or herself, especially if they are an early career physician. My husband and I (who write our own Substack) are later career physicians who have decided to write openly about these issues. It's a personal choice. We have also started an annual conference on Free Speech in Medicine and Science. 2023 details coming soon:
Would I feel safe going to a doctor now? NO. I wouldn't trust anyone who graduated in the last 10 - 15 years to treat an ingrown toenail.
I've spent the majority of my life (over 50 yrs now) having to deal with various doctors throughout Canada due to a congenital deformity, so I kind of have an idea about the medical system of old versus the new. The new system is pro-pharma only. Doctors are salesmen and have zero idea even how to go about helping someone get healthy. The fact that so many chose harm by gene therapy jabs over potential risks to health speaks volumes. Who wants a dr who would choose their job over saving a patient? Not me.
Unreal that it's hitting the medical field too, I feel for your occupation, as far as the white supremist calling out people I personally had that happen to me and am appalled
