Let me share with you what MY DOCTOR said … out loud, to me (in private - The context was prescribing Ivermectin for ‘non-lupus’ related ailments). Let me preface by saying my doc is excellent. He gives his patients his personal contact info so we can circumvent the shitty communication platforms the network has. Anyway, per my doctor, 95% of physicians in this country work for a ‘Network’. Those Networks are 100% profit driven, ergo, health care decisions are almost always made with profits in mind. There have been physicians in our network who stepped outside the Networks treatment guidelines and got disciplined or fired. I have 3 adult children that are doctors. I hit this topic every chance I get. They are young docs, and they wholly admit they stay within the limits of their networks treatment guidelines.

Too many people find It is super easy to call them cowards and traitors. Those people have zero perspective. Med school is hard as hell to get accepted into. Then its about $90,000 per year tuition. That right there prices 99% of potential physicians completely out. After 3 years of that shit then they have to work 80-90 hours a week for 1/5 doctors salary for two years. Thats 4 years under grad STEM degree, 3 years Med-School, 2 years in the trenches as slave labor. Its easy for people to be judgmental when most have NEVER made that kind of personal investment in anything (myself included).

That being said ….

The hypocratic oath is a farce. “Do no harm” is now a contextually depraved mantra. MEANING … once it meant Do no harm [ to patients], NOW it means Do no harm [to the profit margin]. 95% of doctors are being held hostage by their employers. The Networks, the insurance companies, and Big Pharma. All working together to turn all of us into one giant fucking ATM.
