There’s an old joke that asks what the difference is between God and a doctor, the answer being that God doesn’t think He’s a doctor. It’s funny because there’s a grain of truth in it. Doctors do think well of themselves, and they want the lower run of human beings who didn’t attend medical school to think well of them and to trust them. It’s an attitude that extends to many healthcare workers, such as nurses, physician assistants, and first responders, and to a certain extent, it may even be justified. The healthcare worker is the one who takes care of you when you are sick.

This is memorable from the article:
"A nurse in California complains, “Our patients don’t trust us anymore.... A year and a half ago, the emotion that came with the influx of these patients was sympathy, empathy, remorse, guilt—and that well of emotion has dried up. What is left is anger and hostility and mistrust.” "
Yeah, you have to earn trust. You "health care providers" are HARMING patients. You IGNORE the facts that there are multiple cheap, low risk and effective early treatments for this virus. YOU ARE HURTING PEOPLE, not helping them. And YES we do not trust you! You earned THAT, too.
That "anger, hostility and mistrust" is going to last a LONG, LONG time, too.

I've been telling people this for years. Having worked with, and for doctors for decades, some are down to earth people who treat people as equals, however, too many think they can walk on water and are never wrong no matter what the subject happens to be. Legends in their own minds pretty much sums up their attitude and their mind set. I learned early on to never question a doctor. Even when he was wrong. They don't like it when you question them. I think their attitude is part of their medical training.

Doctors can be replaced. Years ago, one doctor walked into the examining room with three syringes and said to me, "roll up your sleeve...." to which I replied, "not until you tell me what is in those syringes...." He recoiled like a vampire facing a crucifix and started stammering about antibiotics, steriods, and B12, and got highly urinated when I refused all but the antibiotic shot (for a sinus infection). He said, "who's the doctor here????" to which I replied, "you are, but it is my body and that gives me veto power over anything you recommend." They aren't gods, and it is good for them to run into someone like me occasionally. They may hate your guts, but they don't screw with you after something like that.

On Friday I got tested for covid and 2 strains of flu because I had the omicron symptoms - all tests were negative. After the results came back a PA came into the examining room and gave me the CYA speech about how I still might have covid anyway. Then she called in a prescription for what is essentially a slightly stronger dose of OTC Allegra. Which is for allergies. I don’t have allergies. I have a cold. If this were the highly contagious omicron, my husband would have it by now. It’s a cold.
For the last 18 months I’ve been depending on holistic remedies and am getting much better results than anything western medicine has to offer. That trust was destroyed long ago.

I suspect a lot of doctors think MD stands for Minor Deity.

I left the hospital bedside because I couldn’t stand to work behind enemy lines any more. I called out the administration for dangerous staffing ratios and got run out.
Hospitals are filthy sh*tholes. Doctors have always been cowards but at least you could count on them to do their job.
Not anymore. I don’t trust any of them. And the degree of animosity toward the non-jabbed is atrocious.
I’m so sad my profession has been ruined by these damned brats.
I’m grateful to be free of it. It’s disgusting in there.

Re: #3. Old saying:
What's the difference between doctors and God?
God doesn't think he's a doctor.
Too much of doc's thinking they are supermen. A certain class of expensive, fast, complex aircraft, back in the 1960s through 1980s were known as "doctor killers". Why? Because us mortals progressed from simple, slow, easy to fly training aircraft to stepwise, over years, gradually more complex aircraft as we gained skills and experience. Docs had the arrogance to think that they were superb pilots after 100 hours of flying time, and enough money to buy a complex, fast aircraft. Many were "in way over their heads" and couldn't tell it....until they lost control and crashed, often fatally. Arrogance and money....a deadly combo. Ask John Kennedy, Jr. .....not a doc, but same money and arrogance, over estimating his abilities by a lot.
In aircraft, they kill only themselves and family, usually. In this pandemic, they are killing their patients.

There is a reason doctors aren’t crying out for therapeutics such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Regulatory heavyweights have threatened them with loss of their livelihoods if they did so.
Here’s how it works. The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) grants board certification to MD specialists. Without that certification they can’t work.
There are those who, for whatever reason, do not want certain early, cheap, effective therapeutic interventions applied in the COVID-19 pandemic. They are acting on multiple fronts to prevent such. One front is the community of American physicians.
ABMS has notified doctors that spreading misinformation or disinformation (think ivermectin therapy, hydroxychloroquine therapy) will result in loss of certification and State Medical License.
In other words, if a physician offers advice or treatment that the higher authorities disapprove of, even though legal and legitimate under the law within their scope of practice, they can have their certification and license to practice revoked.
Never before has such an injunction been imposed.
So, before you get all uppity about your doctor not getting IVC and HCQ therapeutics to you, understand that the heavy hand of government would strip him of his practice if he did so.
This is not a failure of the MD community. This is a gag order on physicians by government and administrative state entities.
We’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto.

That all may be true, #9, but it also depends on where you happen to live. I have a prescription for 5 days of Ivermectin treatment plus a refill for an additional 5 days. The prescription came from a doctor in my red state and it was filled by a pharmacy in my red state.

Umm, no. 31 years in the medical field for me. I'm not getting an mRNA vax,,, I'm NOT anti-vax, I'm against THIS experimental vax. I do not support mandating an experimental vaccine, and I respect ALL individuals right to take or not take it.

Apparently "First, do no harm" has taken a back seat to Faustus and the almighty clot shot. If you can't get ivermectin, look up the Zalenko Protocol and get started on it. Also, remember that President Trump signed the National Right to Try law into effect in 2018.
