Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 As someone who has worked in the health care industry for 30 years, I also don't like to see disparaging and non- specific comments about " physicians " and the entire health care industry. True, there are many very serious and complex problems in our industry but it isn't fair (or accurate) to characterize physicians, in general, as arrogant, greedy, uneducated and the entire system as corrupt. Dear Vicky, One obviously has to agree with you, at least in part, because there are good doctors and nurses out there who truly care. But.....big but........I would say the huge majority do not deserve fair words and millions of people die each year because of what they are doing (or not doing) around the world and hundreds of millions live in misery sick with chronic illness. I have written yards and yards on this but as a famous survivor of the concentration camps noted, their are decent and indecent folks in every group and organization. Perhaps the most educated way of expressing the corruption of the system is to speak about the foundation of allopathic medicine and the wrong assumptions that have been made that are devestating. Secondly anyone who owns alligance to the pharmaceutical companies are in league with the same people who built and ran concentration camps...you know the IG Farben people who are now Bayer Aspirin and three other super large pharma companies. You can't be half a Nazi, not really. Those who have been trained to believe that you can poison a person back to health are crippled for life in terms of medicine. Medical school is actually an education in medical terrorism - and believe me I can back these words up easily. So its a miracle when a doctor or nurse escapes the conditioning. Arrogance is a good subject all by itself and it brings up the entire subject of the human ego. How many people do you know live and breathe with the perception that our true destiny on earth is to penetrate our egos...to get beyong the narrow arrogance of our minds? Its such a strange concept to the mind. In medicine and the healing arts in general ego dominates as it does in open society. We are, as predicted by the ancients of many sects, headed directly into the apocolypse exactly because we do not know our own arrogance and have not penetrated the nature of our egoes. The entire system, medically and every which way is corrupted by ego consciousness and for that billions are doomed. The heart does not get angry in a self-righteous way, does not get angry with individuals but with the entire system of wrongs that create SEPARATIONS between one being and another. So personally I think we are entirely too nice meaning we will collectively and even individually do very little Quote
