It is Crystal Clear that For-Profit Allopathic Medicine is Deadly. What Will the US Do About That?
Prior to COVID-19, medical errors were the THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH in the US. That's STUNNING: No one in their right mind should entrust their lives to for-profit medicine.

James Lyons-Weiler

Most Americans won’t remember this, but prior to the 1980’s, the very thought of a medical practice turning massive profits was considered highly unethical. All of that changed, and the beast we now see sitting on our economic backs sucks the bloodlife out of the US economy on a daily basis.

Prior to COVID-19, medical errors were the THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH in the US. That's STUNNING. As Dr. Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH and others have worked tirelessly to educate the public, and politicians about the perils of the denial of the science behind the efficacy of early COVID-19 treatments, with COVID-19 treatment denial and substitution of effective treatments with treatments more profitable for Pharma, patients fighting for their lives against COVID-19 have had to also fight against physicians blinding by protocols. If we generously call the refusal to treat COVID-19 a mass delusional psychotic error, then medical errors became the first leading cause of death in 2022.

This means no one in their right mind should entrust their lives to for-profit medicine. The entire idea that biased medicine would be tolerated due to white-coat-and-stethoscope authority has proven false; the implosion of allopathic medicine has involved mass resignations of nurses and doctors who would not tolerate the clear violations of ethics required of them to “do their jobs”. This #WalkAway movement has been euphemized as a “Health Care Worker Shortage”.

There is nothing ethical left now that public health owns allopathic medicine. When I say “public health” of course, I’m referencing the medicolegalindustrio cabal who seized control of our country starting in January of 2020.

Does it mean that it's better to entrust their lives to government-run medicine? Like one in Russia for example? Sure this looks better than what we have:













And this this in the country which has been assaulted with trillions of dollars over the last 30 years.

For-profit medicine is bad but everything else is simply worse.

Personally, I think this is the solution:

1. All non-emergency medical bills must be presented in advance of treatment and signed by the patient or patient's legal representative. Without the signature, the treatment is free and the patient has no debt for it.

These bills must include how much the patient's insurance will actually pay, and how much the patient will be responsible for.

This alone would do wonders to control private medical costs in the US.

2. All emergency medical bills must be fixed by law, since there is no chance to shop.

So I'd still have private medical care, as long as all bills are presented in advance of treatment.

But I would not trust any doctor or hospital after the mass death they inflicted for the profits of Pfizer and Pfauci. And because doctors and hospitals are themselves the 3rd largest cause of death in the US, or maybe worse now. I'd get only treatments I understand very well and which are unavoidable.

This is too broad. The naturopaths we see are for profit, so are the supplement companies we use. This is a common Communist trap, making people think money is the issue, when in fact our sickcare system is highly subsidized, and has deep ties with government.

What we need is less regulation, which will encourage more competition, and better products. The fact that there is a list of vaccines you have to take to attend government school should be all we need to know about the current system.

Medicine is deeply in bed with government, and most people don't see that. Here, I can fix healthcare in a second - allow anybody to practice medicine, so long as they are clear that they aren't licensed as a doctor, also allow them to opt out of malpractice.

You know what it cost me to get 1 chest x-ray 10 years ago? $800. That's what it costs for 10 x-rays for my DOG. It's HIGHLY ILLEGAL but my vet could have done the same for me, at 1/10th the cost.
5   GNL   2022 Aug 15, 2:36pm  

Aren't insurance companies mostly to blame for the high costs? And what is it with the higher bills for the uninsured vs. the insured? Special pricing, in network, out of network? This is so fucked up. Our hospital system used to be so much better AND, I believe, less abused.

Why is it illegal? Is it illegal for the vet to give you one or for you to ask him for one? is it illegal to buy an x-ray machine and give yourself an x-ray in the freest country in the world?
9   Patrick   2022 Aug 15, 9:31pm  

It is illegal because it is 1/10th the cost of having a physician do it.

The AMA is one of the most powerful lobbies in the US:

In the 70s and early 80s, all the small neighborhood charity/church hospitals closed down because the government regulated the shit out of them from medicaid and other rules. They were unable to maintain the huge paperwork processing staff and admin overhead.

It was so prevalent that entire sitcoms, comedies, and even pornos were built around the plot of the staff trying to save the local/charity hospital from being closed.

These were hospitals were the Charity Board and the Doctors ran the hospital. The President was likely a doctor with 30 years' experience in actual practice, not somebody with an MBA who attended a lot of sessions on maximizing profits and billings and minimizing risk.

What Patrick said.

When I went to college I somehow picked up a chronic ear infection that I kept getting over and over.

My dogs when they got old had regular ear infections, but I got this greasy milky medicine that that would clean it up. I happened to have an ear infection at the same time one of my dogs did, so.. I took a q-tip and greased up my ear canal.

I haven't had an ear infection in 10 years.

Every drug that is used on humans (except this vaccine) has gone through animal trials. Think animal experimentation is evil? Well, they aren't trying to kill the animal, they are doing their best NOT to kill the animal. I knew a vet that did pharmacology development and she would lament there are TONS of drugs that were perfectly fine for animals, but they never made it to human use - and the reason it, well, this drug caused narcolepsy in rare cases, so it failed and never came to market, but it was perfectly fine for Fido.

Veterinary drugs, nearly ALL the drugs, are the same drugs they use on people, but FAR cheaper.

When Doctors Go On Strike Less People Die
The same cannot be said about Nurses.

The title of this article might read like clickbait or perhaps an exaggeration, however, it is a fact that multiple studies completed in different parts of the world have found that when doctors go on strike less people die. Other studies have found that doctors going on strike makes no difference to death rates. And no studies have found that death rates increase when doctors are on strike.

These studies go as far back as 1973 and the most recent study was in 2020. They also include a diverse range of countries - Columbia, the USA, Israel, Spain, Croatia, and Kenya.

The earliest study in 1973 was in Israel when doctors went on strike for one month and patient deaths dropped by 50 percent.

In 1976 in Bogota, Columbia, when medical doctors went on strike for 52 days, providing only emergency care for patients, the death rate dropped by 35 percent.
14   AmericanKulak   2022 Oct 5, 6:46pm  

The Residency System is all fucked up. It simply allows Hospitals to pay $12/hr for physicians and work them 60 hours a week for a year or more.

Who in their right mind thinks it's a good idea for novices in a life-or-death profession who mostly did academic study for the past 7-8 years to work 5 12-hour shifts a week, often rotating night and day?

We regulate the hours of truckers more than ER doctors

Another reason why some professions need to be revamped into Trades.

If you can pass a Pre-Med 4-year degree, and then spend 3 years shadowing a physician and gradually tacking on more responsibility with yearly exams for practical and abstract knowledge based on those increasing responsibilities. Each year you get an RN, then Phys Assist, then finally upon graduating a GP license. That way if the costs/burden are too high, at least you come out as an RN or Phys Assist and contribute to the health care worker supply.

Honestly, PRNs and Phys Assts can do 90% of the work of a doctor for routine shit from broken bones to mitigating high BP.

Right now you go to school 7-8 years and pay a fortune, and can't legally so much as draw blood or insert an IV until you do your indentured servitude for a Hospital Corp.

It's a hazing system. The point is to make new doctors suffer so that they themselves later insist on maintaining the large gap between themselves and others like nurses who could easily do their work for far less money. The pain motivates doctors to make sure "it wasn't all for nothing." Once you're past the pain then you're in the club. Once you're in the club, you want the club to continue as it is.
17   Ceffer   2022 Oct 5, 10:36pm  

It has been eye opening to see that doctors are merely ordered like privates and swabees to do the bidding of the Rockefeller-Medical complex and it is entirely top down from corrupt central authorities. One of Clif High's videos shows how the peer review system is 'science bought', not science. The highest bidder gets published, for whatever end the employer or briber desires. That doctors can be deployed for monetary reward as a hit man militia and browbeaten, intimidated private army for Satanists certainly wasn't on my radar for America.

I know historically the Kommies have used hospitals and asylums as alternative prisons and assassin's pits, I just was foolish enough to think it couldn't happen here. We are brainwashed to think American medicine regard human life as sacred, and we find out they can be so easily used to kill us summarily without bullets but injections.

It has certainly made me take a fresh look at alternative medicine. Just like we don't know history because it has been replaced by official convenient myths and lies, we don't know about optimal health, either, as administered by pill pushers for Pharma.

It's a test of what people will put up with.

When I was studying as an electrical engineer, I had a professor that gave a work course that he openly admitted was designed to get rid of 2/3rds of the students. It's a selection process.

I bet there's a TON of people who can be competent, excellent EE's, I'm sure you can do it, it's not hard, it's a weed out process. Do you REALLY want to do this? That's the test. How dedicated are you to put up with all this shit? It's designed to make people give up, not because they are not competent, but because they don't want to put up with the endless shit.

I don't think this is the right way to do it, courses should teach more, and weed out based on merit, not vigilance. We were just given enormous amounts of work, most students cheated pulling stuff from older students, but I was stupid, and did it all on my own. I felt, then, what I was learning I had to understand. I spent a 1/2 semester learning a circuit that was used for television and nothing else, it had an infinite output impedance, and was used for the vertical blanking interval. Absolutely obsolete today, and was used for ONE THING, and had no practical application outside of NTSC television.

Haven't talked to her in a while, but have an old high school friend that is a surgical nurse in TN. Nurses do 90% of the work (not billing and administration obviously). Even in surgery situations.

Never thought of this. Next time I have a visit I'm going to request to only see the doctor. No nurses. See how that goes. Have them do my blood pressure. Do my blood work. I'd bet most doctors couldn't do it.

I do have to say my kids go to a good pediatrician. Only the doc sees the kid, no nurses. Same doc every time. Was the first doctor in 2020 that told me covid was bull shit. Hospitals and airports were the only place I'd wear a mask. She told me to take it off. From then on I knew Covid was bull shit or at least the mask wearing part of it.

The level of expertise between nurses and doctors is huge.
21   WookieMan   2022 Oct 6, 6:24am  

gabbar says

The level of expertise between nurses and doctors is huge.

The level of expertise between other nurses is huge. An urgent care nurse is not going to be working a surgery. A legit 4 year nurse, maybe with other paper from a school is as good as a doctor. But a degreed 4 year nurse is as good as a doctor really is what I'm getting at. I'm not talking your 2 year CC degree nurse.

I suppose if you're talking heart transplants and other organs that's a different animal. That's super specialized. Nurses can handle 90% of ailments including some minor surgery if they've had the training. Like I said, I know a surgical nurse. She's done operations while the doctor sits there. This is not hyperbole. Nurses run the show. Doctors almost exclusively analyze and nurses treat. This is fact if you've had any procedure or even a basic annual check up.

I've had two kids via c-section (well my wife). Was in the room. The nurses did everything. The doc is basically a manager. Leading up, nurses did everything, doc would walk in at checkups and just say the baby is looking good.

Basically I don't think a lot of people understand the training legit nurses go through. They see all the same shit a doc would in residency. They're damn near as qualified. I'd honestly trust a 30 year old nurse over a 55 year old doctor. Plus the nurses aren't getting blow jobs to sell big pharma drugs that ultimately just kill people or injure their organs.

https://americanliberty.news/crime/nurse-accused-of-murdering-babies-in-year-long-killing-spree-finally-goes-on-trial/phouck/2022/10/


A neonatal nurse in Great Britain is on trial in a case that has shaken the nation to its core. Lucy Letby, 32, stands accused of a series of attacks in 2015 and 2016 that led to the deaths of seven babies and near deaths of 15 more at Countess of Chester Hospital, near Liverpool.

Jurors heard for the first time on Tuesday that one of the victim’s mothers interrupted Letby’s attack on her newborn son only to be convinced that the distressed baby was in the best possible hands.

“Trust me, I’m a nurse,” Letby allegedly told the distraught mother as blood poured from her premature child’s mouth, bleeding which she said came from a nasogastric tube irritating his throat. Alone again with her three-pound victim, Letby murdered the infant boy at her leisure. The following day, she unsuccessfully attempted to kill his twin.

Prosecutors claim Lethby killed the infants either by injecting them with fatal doses of insulin or air. In some cases, it took multiple attempts to finish off her victims, who were first saved by other doctors and nurses who initially didn’t suspect a psychopathic killer was lying in their midst.

Giving birth hurts. A lot. Like any other major physical feat, it’s risky, but it’s not the inherently dangerous medical event some have come to believe. Plenty of women know this. Many are skeptical of the need to give birth in a hospital. But some are taking things further, deciding to forgo medical care entirely and give birth at home totally unassisted.

This is one area where I'm in favor of the hospital when in doubt. Sure if you're a < 25 year old womynz with fit abs, hips and buttocks so you can push like a rockstar you will likely be fine. Otherwise I have no doubt that hospitals have a better chance of delivering healthy children and moms. Sure they do c sections often unnecessarily to shorten the birth (and sometimes the risk) and maximize profits, but if the womyn is vocal and insists on vag birth they usually give you a fair and long enough chance. The doula/midwife usually is not trained with forceps or suction devices to help deliver the baby and thus does not have them. Often the womynz will end up in the hospital anyways and by then it's usually straight to c section. People go unnecessarily to the hospital way too often, giving birth is not one of those times imo.

Iatrogenesis is the fifth leading cause of death in the world. There are about 5%–8% of deaths due to ADRs (Adverse Drug Reactions) worldwide[12]. In many countries, ADRs are a leading cause of death.[13] About 1.4 million patients are affected by the infections at any given time due to the healthcare system. In the developed countries, the toll is 5%–10% of patients while in developing countries “as many as a quarter of all patients may be affected by a healthcare-associated infection.”[14] A study conducted in 2005 established communication problem as the major cause of 70% of sentinel events in a hospital-like setting.[14]

The unsafe injection practice (unsterilized syringes and needles) worldwide accounts for 40% of infections. In some of the countries, the unsafe injection practice is as high as 70%. “Unsafe injection practices cause an estimated 1.3 million deaths each year worldwide, a loss of 26 million years of life and an annual burden of US$ 535 million in direct medical costs.”[15] Unsafe blood transfusions contribute about 5%–15% of HIV infections. A study indicates that the donated blood was not at all screened for the infections such as HIV and Hepatitis in almost 60 countries worldwide.[15]

A study conducted by the WHO concluded that per capita medication usage was highest in the USA which exceeded Latin America and even Europe[16]. The report, compiled by (Life Extension Magazine) LEF estimates that every year in the USA, 2.2 million people experience ADRs and the death due to ADRs is 783,936. Although the USA spends 14% of its gross national product on healthcare yet, it is ironical that the American Medical System contributes to most of the deaths. The government-sanctioned medicine in the USA alone is responsible for 700,000 deaths every year.[17]

The doctors and scientists responsible for the development and administration of these drugs are both trained and constrained by the corrupt system that now controls them. Western medicine as we now know it exists in orbit around the pharmaceutical industry. Medical schools teach doctors how to match symptoms with prescriptions, hospitals negotiate with insurance companies based on the cost of drugs, and the race is ongoing to create the latest and greatest drug that will cure what ails ya.

The healers of today are no longer the heroes of old. The healers of today are trained, funded, and accountable to the pharmaceutical industry. That corruption is largely enabled by a system of governmental oversight that is nothing more than an instrument used by the medical industrial complex to approve and sell their products while limiting their liability.

Worse, these governmental puppets are now using the private tech and media industries to ensure that only the official narrative is put forth; those with dissenting opinions or contradicting data are silenced, censored, and calumniated.

This was once considered to be a conspiracy theory. To insinuate that these institutions could be involved in a global conspiracy that has cost tens of millions of lives and undermined the very foundations of our democracy was tantamount to blasphemy.

Until now…

Multiple studies show a strong correlation between lack of employment, economic distress and overdose fatalities. Indeed, a 2021 study by the National Academy of Sciences concluded most of the decline in life expectancy beginning in the mid-1990s among working-age men and women was attributable to drug poisonings of people with a high school education or less.

Standing in sharp relief to portraits of its primary victims are its perpetrators. Those most responsible for this epidemic are part of America’s best educated and economically privileged classes. This was an epidemic caused in large measure by scientists, physicians, drug distributors, pharmaceutical company executives and regulators.

They reaped enormous economic benefits but, even after a deluge of lawsuits, they paid little for the havoc they wreaked.

There would have been no spike in drug overdoses had handsomely compensated executives at a handful of global pharmaceutical companies not decided in the mid-1990s to flood America with prescription opioids. Nor would there have been an epidemic if the US Food and Drug Administration, among the most elite healthcare regulators in the world, had not given their approval to a half dozen or more prescription opioids that fueled addiction in the United States. ...

From the start, this was a healthcare policy where the economic incentives were powerfully misaligned. It was sure to generate windfall profits for drug companies, distributors and other healthcare providers while exposing patients to unprecedented risks.


So essentially the same as the toxxine.

The FDA cannot ever be trusted again.

Medicine has been run as Rockefeller 'criminal enterprise light' which is graduating into 'criminal enterprise obvious majeur', especially since the money laundering, human trafficking, arms sales, and heroin/meth sales have been drying up for them.
They have to milk the medical system for even more revenues. Crippling people with vaccines is a great way to make them Pharma profit centers until they succumb.

Herewith a few anecdotes you might enjoy.
1. An anesthesiologist was bragging about his $1.5 million income; he's working 100 hour weeks however.
I bet you want to be his case after working 99 hours.
2. A surgeon showed how fast he could complete a procedure (I forget which; hip, etc)
He timed it to brag how fast he was.
3. I had LENSAR cataract surgery; the office was extremely busy, and had installed more lens implants than any other practice.
During a follow up appointment a nurse gave me a hint that all were afraid of his mistakes.
A couple of years later at a dermatologist I mentioned to the nurse that I was seeking an ophthalmologist and thought I would go to another doctor.
"I previously worked for an ophthalmologist/surgery. I would not go back to him either. Sometimes we fixed his mistakes."
Billing for more procedures or more hours=more money.
Like many people, they sometimes don't manage their finances so well and they must try to maintain the high pace, which may lead to an error.
