I'm 28 years old. I spent the past 4 years at an Ivy-league medical school. I couldn't have been more excited to be a doctor when I first arrived on campus. Then, slowly, the truth became more and more apparent to me. I refused to swallow the dogma just because that was what was being taught in class, and always went to the primary research to see if what they were selling was truly accurate. And what I found was worse than I could ever have imagined. It would take multiple textbooks to fully articulate my feelings about the profession, but I'll try to summarize as best as I can below the horrors of healthcare in the US.

The healthcare industry in the US is explicitly designed to suck as much money as possible out of people suffering from disease. It is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the US. Insurance companies and pharma are protected by law in charging truly obscene prices for drugs that have been around for decades. If the patent runs out, they add a single change to the drug and re-patent it. This can be as fucking stupid as combining two drugs or changing the carrier the drug is delivered in. Drugs that should be priced in the $5-$20 range are routinely gouging innocent Americans for thousands of dollars. Many of the drugs are completely ineffective or even harmful and yet are routinely prescribed because they are "approved" and are literally bankrupting our nation and individual citizens.

The "healthcare" industry is perfectly designed to keep you a customer for life. At one of the "best" medical schools in the country, we not only received next to no education about nutrition or lifestyle in our entire curriculum. I'm here to tell you to your face that the biggest killers (biggest $$$) in the US are 90% due to nutrition and ARE 100% REVERSIBLE. Obesity, Type II diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, arthritis, and high cholesterol (don't even get me started. Statins are a COMPLETE scam and are the most profitable drugs in medicine) are DUE TO WHAT YOU EAT . The diabetes and heart associations promote diets that will ensure you have your condition forever. The "heart-healthy" oils promoted by the AHA in the supermarket are the highly inflammatory oils that cause heart disease. Same goes with the ADA and sugar recommendations. Many cancers should also be included in the preventable and reversible category, but say that as a doctor and you'll be ostracized. I'll give you a ~very~ quick lesson that should make your jaw drop. Your body develops microcancers (genetically defective cells) ALL THE TIME. Your innate immune system recognizes these defective cells and deals with them on a daily basis. What does "Modern" medicine do when they find a cancer? THEY WIPE OUT YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM WITH CHEMO. No matter what they say, I promise you there are other ways to treat cancer besides chemo, surgery, and radiation, but this is all the profession has to offer because they can't charge for natural immune boosts and dietary changes. It is disgusting beyond comprehension. (I will caveat here that there are a few subtypes of cancer that do respond well to chemo. the vast majority do not, and the side effects are brutal).

Without going to deep into the history of the profession, I'll just say that the main reason doctors don't wake up to the two above facts is because they are put into immense debt, and forced under pressure and shaming to learn MOUNTAINS of biochemical pathways, mechanisms, drug interactions etc that put them in a panic/fear state and as such they keep their heads down and simply regurgitate what they are taught. They also are routinely forced to work 80-100 hours a week for years on end during residency and literally go into survival mode where you just do what you're told so you won't ruffle any feathers after giving up 8+ years of your life to become a doctor. If you want to do a deeper dive, you can look into the Rockefeller takeover of allopathic medicine via the Flexner report and other mechanisms.

This wouldn't be a proper post without the most relevant topic of all today - VACCINES. Again, a full exploration would be an entire book, but I cannot stress to you how unbelievably disgusting the data is when you actually look at it. Vaccines are almost never tested against placebo, they always are compared to other vaccines so no harmful effects will be found. THIS IS NOT SCIENCE. The FDA and CDC have been fully compromised for decades. Pharma is the biggest lobby in the US. How difficult do you think it is to buy the few dozen voters at these agencies? It was done a long time ago. I'll say it right to your face. Many of the childhood vaccines are 100% 100% 100% 100% causing neurodevelopmental disorders including autism, severe autoimmune disorders and allergies that will make these children dependent on the healthcare industry for their entire lives. The rates are SKYROCKETING, the link is obvious and admitted by top officials, and it is literally one of the biggest threats to humankind's future. 1 in 33 children is being diagnosed with SEVERE developmental disorders, up from 1 in 10,000 in the 70s. The mechanistic link to vaccines is clear. THEY LITERALLY TEACH US IN MEDICAL SCHOOL THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR INFANTS TO HAVE FEBRILE SEIZURES. I'M NOT KIDDING. Listen to the parents who describe their perfectly normal kids who had febrile seizures post-vaccination and became severely delayed many times to the point of inability to speak, read, or write. You need to do your own research. You can listen to documentaries including vaxxed and others where top CDC officials admit straight up that they covered up direct evidence of harm because they were told to. Further, if you actually look at the history of many of the diseases which they are now vaccinating kids for, the incidence rates in the US had already fallen by 90-99% due to water chlorination and other sanitation improvements well before the vaccines were introduced. Some particularly disgusting examples are the Hep B vaccine (given to all newborns ON THE DAY THEY ARE BORN) despite evidence of brain inflammation, and the fact that hep B is a bloodborne illness that can't even be caught by babies (unless their mother is positive which is rare) and their antibodies wane before the age at which they would ever be at risk anyways due to needles or sexual intercourse. It's SICK. HPV vaccine data is also so hilariously bad it really makes me question on a daily basis how this world we live in is possibly real. RFK Jr did an amazing expose on this vaccine in particular years ago if you are interested. Of course the brainwashing is so complete in medical school that you will be INSTANTLY ostracized if you speak out.
I honestly could keep going. The journals are compromised by pharma (editors of top journals quitting and saying straight up their journals have been compromised. Female editor of the NEJM wrote a particularly good piece about this), the ways in which studies are designed and performed are explicitly to make them look better than they are and to cover up adverse events. Choosing poor placebos, limiting follow-up time, testing healthy populations so the results will look better than reality, among 100 other ways they manipulate the trials.
Food, water, soil, and air (all 4) in this country contains poisons from Industry and the government does nothing about it. If you want me to go deeper into this topic in particular, DM me.
When you have done the literally thousands of hours of research into the reality of healthcare as I have done, some of what is going on currently makes more sense, although it is enough to make anyone on earth cry. Pharma control was so entrenched, doctors so brainwashed, and the population so dumbed down that it literally might have taken something as disgusting as the covid vaccine (worse than normal vaccines which are already bad by at least 2 to 3 orders of magnitude) to wake the population up. It breaks my heart. but maybe, just maybe, it will bring down the empire of lies.
If any of you have any questions about anything I wrote or want more direction, I'm always open to talk.
TLDR: spent 4 years in a top medical school to become a doctor. Left it all behind because the reality is so, so, so much worse than you could ever have imagined.
Great post. You wrote, "They [new doctors] also are routinely forced to work 80-100 hours a week for years on end during residency and literally go into survival mode where you just do what you're told so you won't ruffle any feathers after giving up 8+ years of your life to become a doctor."
I've often wondered why the medical profession keeps insisting doctors work such horrible hours in the first few years, including shifts that keep them up for 24 hours, working while extremely sleep deprived, which isn't good for anyone, doctor or patient. The main reason I've heard is that they really need that much training to become proficient.
Now I think it's like a cult indoctrination using techniques cults use - sleep deprivation to keep new members weak and exhausted, preventing them from using critical thought, and to make them invest so much in becoming a member that they become very resistant to questioning the legitimacy of the cult's teachings..
"the main reason I've heard is that they really need that much training to become proficient."
This is the excuse given to not change the system. The reality is that residents (highly trained professionals with 4 years of post-graduate education) are paid $50k-$60k a year to work 80 hours a week while providing literally hundreds of thousands of dollars of real work to the hospital. A resident easily works 2x as much per week as a PA who gets paid 100k-125k while making half the amount simply because it's "the law".
And yes, it has the added bonus of being the best possible method of indoctrination. Sleep deprivation and constant work to prevent time for critical thinking. So why would they change it?
Truly sick system.
I believe medical error is one of the leading causes of death as well. Is that linked to residents or doctors in established practices who have already walked the gauntlet?
Separate question: I have noticed the trend in recent years to bring the threshold for what are considered healthy cholesterol numbers down and the explosion of pre-DM. Do you agree with these newer thresholds? .
I answered this elsewhere (cntrl f Minnesota coronary in this thread). I don't believe the cholesterol narrative at all. Low cholesterol patient groups always die first in large scale trials. It is a vital molecule to cellular membrane integrity and immune health. The evidence tying it heart disease is so weak it is truly unbelievable. Watch one video from Dr. Aseem Malhotra about what the statin trials actually show (spoiler: they are garbage and likely do more harm than good).
Any particular video, or any of them?
Our DIL was on statins. She had a severe gall bladder attack and when gall bladder was removed, it was full of "cholesterol blobs", not the more often seen gall stones.
Just popping in to mention Sytrinol!
Why are people being mislead bout Pharma product ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine? Merck produces at least one and Merck is an evil pharma company?
they are off patent. Dirt cheap. no money to be made.
Remdesivir is on patent and $3000 per treatment.
Remdesivir kills the kidneys and elevates Liver function values...and I have not witnessed it make a difference in anyone with the virus!
The patents on those have expired, so multiple pharma companies now make it. When multiple pharma companies can make and sell it, they have to be price-competitive. So the profit margins are significantly smaller.
The most common time when patient and medical errors occur are during or after shift changes, when the Dr that's been watching a person for the last couple of days leaves and another Dr takes over the care. The new Dr may miss things the other could catch, they're could be miscommunications about what care had happened and symptom progression, there could be conflicting ideas of how to treat the patient at the different times. Basically, hospitals try to keep shift changes to a minimum and keep a single doctor over a patient's care for as long as possible in order to keep mistakes down and help doctors catch more as they are more involved with the patient over a longer time.
