Lots of posts here about doctors saying the shot is safe and approved. This urks me everytime I go to the doctor. I give my usual spiel and that ends it at that visit but repeats every time,
My question is this: Is there a law against doctors who lie to you? Is that malpractice? Can they lose their license for giving false medical advice?
Maybe thats the ammo we need against those who coerce us to take a chance with our lives.
As a nurse who dated MDs long ago, I will share what I was told 15 years ago: Being a MD is more political than anyone would think. The government stipulates every aspect of medical care. In order to treat Medicare/Medicaid patients, you are under the governments thumb. My ex boyfriend was a cardiologist. He indicated that when someone needs a pacemaker, he pays more for malpractice ins. VS what the govt will reimburse him for the procedure. It’s a major scam. It’s illegal for MD’s to join a Union. If you push back against the govt, they will go after your license. If you push back against the hospitals, you can lose your privileges and if you push against the insurance co you can lose your pay. Can you imagine 10 years of school/training only to have the gov. mandate your practice? There is no way to truly practice medicine when you are under the thumb of the government/insurance companies and hospitals. What would you do?
