One of the most shocking results of this Plandemic for me was to totally lose faith in the doctors I had trusted, to scrutinize each one with a critical eye and re-assess my opinions of them. I now see my GP as a pusher of prescriptions and vaccines, not limited to just the mRNA, and also as a spy for the federal government through the ObamaCare Annual Wellness Visit. It feels like paranoia, but I don’t trust that questionnaire. The USA’s medical profession and organizations have shifted towards the enemy category for many Americans. Frontline Doctors and other “rogue” doctors such as Peter McCullough who think for themselves are the anomaly and the heroes of the day.
I agree! I watched 20+ career year physicians completely poop down their leg with poor decisions and ineptitude. Physicians I admired and looked up to as some of the best in the area for healthcare! Entire hospital systems going completely woke with the vaccine cognitive dissonance. Two of my own colleagues pushing patients to get the damn shots. Made me so angry watching this go down and wanting to yell “WAKE UP PEOPLE”. Those same physicians still push the omicron booster. I don’t blame people for not trusting healthcare……those of us who aren’t out for the pharma buck mental brainwashing are working so hard for patients to trust again. That will probably be the theme of 2023……helping those who really do not trust healthcare. Doing that as compassionately as possible. ❤️
Having worked as a hospital system IT administrator, I have seen the influence drug companies have behind doors. Drug Companies (dcs) give free lunches to all Dr's and staff every working day. They give free samples. My brother was out "on the road" in his airplane or on a private jet pitching drug products. He was a principal in UNCs Urology department. He would get paid somewhere between $1500 and $3000 for each 1 hour presentation, in addition to expenses and travel time coverage.
Your article hit home to me not only for being on the money but that doctors themselves were being in the money from the dcs to pedal their products, whether through direct supply or by perks. I believe the perks and cash has to stop. Cold stop.
There is so much abuse and inappropriate influence in the way health professionals are given information and access to product.
Furthermore, at the CDC/FDA level, as well as at the professional level, such as the AMA, the standard protocols developed for disease diagnosis and management are full of nefarious drug company influence (and, in the past couple dozen years, political influence). Though it might cost the state more, all states should have the equivalent of COC and FDA departments. Drug information that flows to doctors should be through these organizations, not the drug companies. Protocols should be reviewed and changed where appropriate, given the population characteristics of the state. Both drugs and protocols should be tracked in real time for effectiveness and adverse events.
I don't know how this can be implemented in such a way that it will not recreate the deep state at the State Level. Perhaps committee members should have a limited appointment. There has to be oversight over these committees. (Committees of committees,, ugh!) As I have recommended, having a Surgeon General post would elevate accountability above the deep state level. Only 4 or 5 states have such a post. (Florida is the most notable example.)
I have already outlined bills for these ideas to my own legislature, except for shutting down direct contact and influence between the dcs and the medical professionals. In your opinion, does this have any merit?
Absolutely spot on. The days of pharma reps entering a medical establishment needs to end. The days of paying physicians to speak FOR pharma needs to stop. The general public thought that abolishing the pens and post-it pads would fix this issue but that was a piddly concession. I have colleagues who rake in over 100k per year just being a DRUG SPEAKER!!!!
Sorry, didn't see your question. Very busy. I'm working to file a bill to stop this practice in our state. You can use it. It's true and replicated nationally.
Three foundational elements must occur be mandatory for physician trust to be rebuilt:
1. All physicians must subscribe to the hippocratic oath.
2. Re-establishment of private/group practices and de-coupling physician practice (and therefore physician) ownership from insurance companies, hospital systems and private equity backed organizations. This removes systemic greed and corporate pressure (although individual may continue -- but subject to real peer pressure to live up to the Hippocratic oath).
3. Sunshine Laws (exposing payment by industry to physicians) must be broadened to include all physicians and those in government with any potential influence over clinical trials (funding, operations, data, approvals) and advisory/marketing services provided toward research or commercialization of any drug, device or solution.
This right here. You nailed it!!! Corporate healthcare needs to go away now. We need to go back to Main Street medicine again. Stop pharma companies from entering offices to pedal their product. Stop paying physicians tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to promote pharma drugs.
And the second reply. I joined with a Dr group to form an independent practice with just hospital privileges a while back. It was a greenfield development. The Drs generally put in their own money... for the land, for the imaging equipment, for the IT equipment... The had a weird affiliation with the local regional hospital that resulted in them getting some hospital and state money for the building itself. Overall, the endeavor was a great success. They had perhaps 30 acres of virgin land. Today it is completely full of medical facilities, from the VA to the Blood Connection to various private practices. All in separate buildings. They have an advanced diagnostic center, with 3 MRIs for full body and I that is a partial enclosure. They have numerous other imaging tools, a couple of dozen heart diagnostic systems, a full lab, and I can't list what else. But... they are now all employees of the hospital instead of charting their own course. How come? They had to accept insurance. Obamacare, Medicare, Group Insurance, whatever. Income was capped by the insurance. Even though they made $$ through owning pieces of the diagnostic equipment (a big income producer for Drs, with tax benefits) and they made $$$ through the sale of land, they could not cover the cost of the paperwork office (ended up about 30 people in one 15 Dr practice, which is about the ratio for the other dozen or so practices in the building that had their own staff). Unbelievable? Believe it. You're not going to get Main Street medicine with Medicare/Medicaid/Obamacare and state regulations. It is actually much, much worse. Why? Illegal immigrants with no insurance and no income. Have you used the Emergency room lately, probably anywhere in the US? The healthcare is free. Could private Drs afford that? I've been through the bloodbath and I'm completely discouraged. By the way, in any group of Drs there is are two tribes now- the vaxxers and the not. There is no love lost between them. Unfortunately, the vaxxers are the bureaucrats and the social climbers, so the non-vaxxers, as you might infer from some of Dr. Jennifer's remarks, have been in the dumps for a year now. I think that it has to take their patients and thier friends in their places of worship to encourage them out of it. It is working, at least around me, as they see me fighting for them. So give the Drs hope. Get out and fight for the non-vaxxers. You have to have Courage now to inspire them.
40 years in industry from drug rep to attorney to running HIT, med device companies and benefit management and ultimately owning a CRO... Witnessed doctors falling prey to comfortable salaries and corporate influence vs. staying true to their calling. Sadly they have become the equivalent of auto mechanics at a corner service station vs. trusted advisors, scientists and advocates.
There's two separate branches of thought here. The first is the Concierge practice. Define this as one or more doctors LLCed. Patients do not have any health insurance. They might have a kind of very large deductible, but the patient has to manage reporting. This removes the back office paper handlers. Still, given today's regs, the office has to have an EMR and a direct connection to a regional or private hospital for admissions. They have to have a connection to a hospital even to practice. That will work, but the Drs. have to be savvy with the software and they MUST have a skilled IT presence, with substantial knowledge of all the systems in the office and into the local hospitals. Only the rich can afford a Concierge practice. Perhaps they can combine with those private Christian insurance programs if the paperwork is limited. I'll continue with these thought in another post.
One "benefit" of this debacle is the heightened awareness of both doctors and patients, and let's hope, scientists, of this systemic problem. Doctors were misled and understandably panicked during Delta, but the Grace period is long over. As a practicing MD I received much good, useful info from Pharma Reps. and enjoyed the lunches they brought to our office. But I also drank some of the Pharma Koolaide, particularly during the earlier days of "nonaddicting" hydrocodone. Finding out about the fraudulent basis of that claim was an eye opener for me and instead of pushing Woke implicit racism awareness, Med schools should have a required tutorial on the more egregious acts of big Pharma (Vioxx, Swine Flu etc.).
It was so easy to fall into the trap of pharma. Several years ago, I worked with a couple of physicians who refused drug rep lunches and I blew it off as no big deal, they are bringing lunch and free samples I can use for the non-insured. Koolaid drinking on my end. 18 months ago that all changed and I haven’t eaten a pharma meal or listened to their pitch since. We just need to wake up the rest of our colleagues!

It’s just another system that is “rigged”.

"I don't know" doesn't suddenly turn into "So let's trust the people who obviously have huge incentives to lie."
Any doctor worth his or her salt should have followed "I don't know" with "So let's find out."

Doctors were misled and understandably panicked during Delta, but the Grace period is long over.
