We were sent a COVID fear survey via email today. The feedback is "supposed" to be anonymous (not that we give a shit). The survey asked questions like:
- Have you been to the office within the past year? If not, why not?
- Are you concerned about catching COVID (from other patients, medical staff)?
- How concerned are you?
Then it described the new (not new) policy of having people wait in their cars before their appointments now, and getting a text to enter the building, and the hand sanitizers, and masks, and so on. Finally, it gets to the point of asking you to make an appointment.
I normally don't fill out surveys. I did this time. We have had the same doctors for 30+ years. Here's my survey response:
Your job as doctors and the oath you took at least 30 years ago is to protect human health and do no harm. Until you (individually and collectively) decided to put corrupt, greedy, and frankly, evil politicians' thirst for power above the health of not only me and my family, but humanity, I believe you did just that. However, whether it's for money or convenience or fear, you are permitting your medical license to be used as a weapon against your fellow man, THE vehicle to force unneeded, unwanted, and experimental medical treatments against people who are less informed than you. As doctors who know the truth about the operation and transmissions of viruses, yet still choosing to enable and encourage these crimes against humanity, I can no longer trust you. I'm sorry, but me and my family won't be back.
It's so sad. I heard a dentist and an eye doctor talking in out neighborhood yesterday about enforcing the mask rules in their offices. The dentist said "you can get a bad review if someone thinks you're not enforcing masks, but you won't get a bad one for asking people to put a mask on. I've had no push back asking people to put a mask on. " This is so insane on so many levels, especially since she confirmed that as a dentist they just basically walk through the lobby (because they can't sit and wait there with other people anyway) with a mask on and then they have to take it off for their exam. We're in texas and she's happy to keep enforcing masks because the CDC says so.
I've always been suspect of doctors and all of this has also shattered what little trust I had. The unfortunate thing is most doctor's act like they're above everyone and know everything, when they should actually realize how little we truly know.
Since we can no longer trust the medical industry, this is the time to use healthy living as medicine. I don't take pills, I don't get shots, and I don't get sick.
