Medstudent in my psych rotation now and wow I never thought I'd ever read something like this 😥

@@fifaops59 I thought I was framing it in as positive a light as I could.

Haha, your last sentence is literally " it's a disaster"

This is heartbreaking to hear. Thank you for what you’ve done all in good faith. I do see that many people feel that they’ve been overlooked and something one Dr. says is different than another but to get violent or physical is disgusting.

@Tozmo Save yourself. Pivot into private sector, coaching etc. No insurance carriers. Your tribe will find you.

Pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs

Strongly agree, it’s so sad.

PT student here and that is exactly what it is

I am not a doctor and I could be wrong but from what I understand: there's outstanding job security And the pay as a doctor is really high Even if the doctor didn't like his job He can just work less hours I'd imagine. Then live very well on a good salary with a lot of time. Compared to other normal people like engineers or anyone else their job is crappier and they get paid less.

…that was quite obvious some time ago that was the case though

You speak for me. After years of being folded, spindled, and mutilated in EM I went to law school. If you think medicine is FUBAR, try law. These areas have become thoroughly corrupt like everything else. The problem is not ‘broken systems’, it’s ‘maldeveloped people’ who never achieved sentience, so outsource their behavior decisions to Fearless Leader / The Herd. Homo sapiens is undergoing a novel modality of extinction - panspecific suicide. How appropriate for a species which destroys for fun.

@@rickkey4226 but generally those that suicide are the destroyed. Those soulless creatures who destroy others for fun and sport are like roaches- endlessly multiply and nothing will kill them, least of all themselves. I am sorry you are struggling so badly. I hope you find what you need to be happy and at peace.

Oh you havent seen the whole picture yet. The attacks from patients just got out of their caves and coming out doing their usual.

That's my daughters dream job... so glad you made it out of the medical field

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I havent worked as a doctor for the last 3 months and really want to pursue something creative instead. Its so inspiring to hear of your success and happiness after leaving medicine :)

Thank you for sharing, hesitant 2nd year med student here considering switching to PhD primarily for the work-life balance. Would you mind sharing what it is that has pushed you toward becoming a physician after your time as a PhD?

@@Skepticalstudent45 as a former PhD student in biomedical science I am telling you from my experience that stick with the MD route and never switch to PhD. Don’t be fooled by the biotech entrepreneur success stories, the chance to be like that is like winning a lottery. There is no work life balances, all great PhDs work long hours and weekends. (To be fair, research shouldn’t feel like working, it’s fun by itself), but be prepared to not have a “real job” for your whole life (I personally know way too many life long “postdoctoral fellows” that never secure a faculty position, or go to big pharms). If you truly want to do research, you can always do a research fellowship later but get your MD. I know way more PhDs who were premed at one point that regret didn’t go to med school vs the other way.

@@Skepticalstudent45 The ONLY reason why I would recommend someone do a PhD is if they cannot see themselves doing anything else other than research in a specific area. However, the MD route would allow you to do just that-all my research advisers have been MDs. Why did I decide to do an MD after the PhD? What people don’t talk about is the increasingly difficult prospects of securing research funding. As PhD in academia, if you lose funding, you lose your career. That is harsh. As an MD, if you lose funding, your clinical job is secure. Besides, I think the MD also gives you an advantage when it comes to obtaining research funding. Overall, the MD route is likely more stressful (in different ways), but, at the end of the day, what matters is that you are happy and enjoy what you do.

@@IvanValdez2010 reading your comment. It's crazy man. You're crazy. In a good way. I'm so inspired. Best of luck to you I hope you enjoy your ride

As a doc i m telling its a Great decision 💯 Definitely u won’t regret it later! All the best for your journey.

@Pink Cardigan depending on the age of the physician, it may be that you are seen as a secretary. Yeah, I know. Last doctor I worked for, I was the only employee and only allowed 5 hours per day. Front/Back office, Transcriptionist, credentialing with insurances, hospitals, I also had 20 years as a medical biller/coder, so updated some codes he didn’t know to bill for, you name it-my job. When patients complimented me to him, yup- “she’s alright, being a secretary isn’t that hard”. This was 2009 and he was 65. He paid me $11 to start, after 3 mos $12 and nothing more the next two years. He was a great diagnostician and teacher, but lousy boss.

Totally agree.

as a citizen i feel there was complicity in the whole field as along with the pandemic narrative, the big reset was installed... medics where silent all along... nothing to see here. enjoy N.W.O. now... remember, we're all in this together.

The American health care system is a raging dumpster fire heading towards a cliff. I've actually come to terms with it. Since there's nothing I can do to change anything I just do my job and enjoy watching it burn. I like my patients but taking care if them is a very small percentage of my time. Most of it is spent typing and dictating in front of a computer or servicing the ever growing bloated bureaucracy of American medicine.

@@santiagorestrepo2000 we’re all in this psyop together

the govt should double the pay immediately for all medical workers. Pay should be in proportion to the number of patients they serve.

yes but with the mentality and philosophy of how US govt their economy you guys have a near zero chance to retire in peace.

I don't feel for them they deserve what they get they lie and lie and lie about everything and nobody speaks up. Well ok fine then yes they deserve exactly what they get

Yep, or we all gon quit. Sincerely, a family medicine resident

I agree! All they did was offer free pizza. It’s disgusting how pharmacists are treated.

I am a retired Pharmacist after working 36 years. I could not wait to retire! Every Pharmacist I knew wished they had chosen a different profession. Retail work is like marching in place. Hospital Pharmacists are treated as disposable with the added On Call stress. I would never recommend anyone go into pharmacy as a career.

I was a pharmacist, retail, retired 10 years ago, and even then it was assembly line pharmacy. 8 hours with a 30 minute lunch break and no other breaks. Pharmacists work full stretch with filling, checking, answering the phone, answering random questions by shoppers passing by, supposed to counsel each patient (just counseling alone takes up hours of each day if you have 500 prescriptions a day and have 1 to 2 minutes of counseling time per patient) but not counseling could get you fired. The pharmacists and techs were expected to be machines and never make a mistake no matter how stressful or distracting the surroundings.

Pharmacist! Try being a nurse bedside in the covid unit 🧐

@@travelnurseadventures3225 My wife was an ICU nurse. I can appreciate what you have done.......

Well, that's the system people want. I will put it bluntly out, and that will be off putting to many but, we live in secular and godless times. People don't expect some things are out of control, they don't believe perfection is outside this world, they don't expect human beings as imperfect. Therefore, when something goes wrong in this world where experts should make everything perfect and well, and great, there is always someone to blame. People who don't believe in infinite God can and do put infinite blame on other people. So, a complication of a simple procedure, medicine that's not working, illness that is in comes back after remission - someone must be blamed! On the other hand, since popular science and medicine without much hesitation claims to be the real absolute, it is met with absolute expectations. When they are not met, people get angry, they sue, they demand. The same goes for education system, schools, police, governments. People who forget God have absolute expectations here and now, there is no room for mistakes, responsibility is absolute and so is the punishment. That's the world that is actively pushed forward, with all it's consequences. And it is, indeed, very unfair, demotivating, and it's no wonder it pushes people over the edge. No one can respond to that level of expectations, no one can have that level of responsibility, no one should be expected to be godlike when we all have worries, weaknesses, bad days, and in the end everyone carries a sack of hurt with himself daily.

I feel your pain. But really anyone who knows what the stresses will be in a job who can't deal with those stresses, shouldn't go into the field. As far as I can tell all professions are pretty stressful, with the exception of engineering. Engineering is pretty low stress, but a bit boring. (I'm an architect who started out as an engineer).

Hi

in this case, admin should have stepped in and initiated training for these nurses to help you guys out (with increase in pay for both of you, of course!) Admin gets off Scott free in cases like this leaving all the heavy lifting up to the medical professionals. We need a union like yesterday! Wonder what would happen if we all decided to do a walk out. Things would change and change quickly however admin knows our compassion for our patients would prevent us from actually doing this and they capitalize, exploit and take advantage of us because of it.

Wow nurses and docs should both start lines. At least put the derms to work. Lol they don’t do many hours.

I totally get it. RN in PICU. Good luck!

medical laboratory technician or technologist?

You can take a day off, have a holiday, a break Being to short staffed is not your problem however your physical and mental health is. Being complacent with overload is what enables it to continue. If you don’t look after yourself your employer certainly won’t Let’s face it Nobody is going to put on your headstone died in service to XYZ medical Centre are they. Harsh words I know but I care for you I also care the profession is losing another skilled and valued practitioner Take a break Your work place won’t fall to pieces anymore than it is already and what’s more there are those who get paid big money to fix it if it does I wish you and yours all the very best

I used to be a medical scribe for 3 years and was eventually promoted to manager. I left the day after a patient assaulted me.

@@bonkersdonkers7381 should have kicked that patient

In my local GPs office they erected a screen at reception and on that screen a message asking people to be respectful and not abuse the staff. I asked the receptionist if things were that bad that they had to put up a sign asking people not to be abusive and she said that ever since covid the level of abuse they'd encountered went through the roof. She said people seemed to have lost all sense of restraint and just lash out over stupid little things

I was an inpatient psych nurse-had to leave d/t assaults and crappy insurance, telePsych is a great option for MD/NP.

But you could have worked in a part time job, right?

@@ticocampos8384 the telepsych model is a great part time job. You make your own schedule, work 4 hours per day 3/4 days a week if you want to. Maintain your clinical skills until you feel up to going back to full time work or just never go back on the hamster wheel it’s all up to you. Its work from home so you have all the flexibility you could want

In most civilised countries doctors and nurses pay no or minimal education cost. My medical degree (Australia) was free. I have paid it back many times over in taxes but I am not complaining,

i actually dont think the American culture appreciates people who work in the caring profession. They just take for granted with what a medical worker can do.

Thank you for sharing that. So i am a dental a student thinking of transferring to medicine but I already have 200k in student loans, is it worth it?

@@dentaladdict98 it’s up to you man. I’m over 250k in debt. As long as your doing it for the innate right reason then go for it. Just make sure you have support system and such in place. Honestly I want to go back to school but I need to make some money so I’m trying life insurance which is helping me become healthier but it’s different and hard but I’ll grind it out and see what happens. I would like to go back to medicine but I’d have to do at leas two more years of a family med residency and I had 6 weeks left so idk if it’s worth it. I took the boards etc. oh welll Good luck

We are in an amusement park for the criminally insane.

Perhaps you could continue your residency in a country where marijuana is totally legal. Then they would look at the reason your residency ended and say.... "Well... Marijuana is legal here so... we see nothing wrong in your record. You're hired!" Or at least, "Welcome to residency again!" I'm sorry you are suffering. Marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol. No idea why you weren't able to become a doctor on Mary Jane, when millions of Doctors drink alcohol regularly. Think about what I suggested, though! Please

If your interest is in family medicine, have you considered nutritional physiology as specialty? Opening a family wellness clinic would most likely be a welcomed addition to any community. I worked in a health food store for four years. The most frequent question we were asked was for a referral to a wellness doctor as opposed to a medical doctor. The market for wellness physicians is wide open because Wellness physicians are few and far between. But, you do need to know the value of fasting, detox, internal cleansing,nutritional supplements and simply getting a good night's sleep. Two suggestion. 1. Read the book The Second Brain by Dr. Michel Gerson. 2. Look into a supplement by Source Naturals called Vinpocetine. It is Periwinkle extract. It is never sold as a sleep aid because you have to take it in the morning with solid food. Yet, it is the best sleep aid out there. Just be sure you eat solid food before you take it or it will cause intestinal cramps for about 4 hours. Ask me how I know. Most people looking for something to help them feel better are actually low on Serotonin. The intestinal tract actually uses more Serotonin than the brain. If you are low on Serotonin, what you do have will be used first by the intestines and there is not enough for the brain. Thus, you don't get good sleep and feel tired, anxious, depressed, etc. etc. etc. Just fill in the word of choice for "I don't feel good". It is amazing what a good night's sleep can do for a person and their outlook on life. PS. As I understand it, becoming an infusion therapist, of nutrients, requires 1000 hours of training and you would most likely train under the supervision of a chiropractor. They seem to be leading the way in wellness therapies. But,the training you already have in medicine would no doubt be immensely helpful. Bottom line? Your calling may be in family wellness rather than family medicine. ❤️

I immediately agree with this! It’s like you’re discouraged for wanting to become a doctor

I have been hearing that for more than 30 years. Pre-med is tough. Med school is tough. Residency is tough. A medical career is tough. This has been so for a very long time, it is nothing new. Most that start out saying they wanted it change their mind or fail to get there. That has been true since my father did it before me. Many that want to do it simply can't, regardless of their determination. The slopes of Mount Everest are littered with the bodies of determined people. Indeed, there is a bottleneck in residencies due to Medicare funding. But we could have 10,000 more new doctors every year if they took the FMGs that passed all their USMLEs and gave them an intern year to be a GP. Since we essentially we did away with GPs in the 1960's, mostly because of the AMA, that's not going to happen. We replaced them with less educated, less trained, cheaper, mid-level providers. There is a great deal about the current landscape as well as the history that got us here that no pre-med would be aware of. Keep your head out of the drama. Do your job. Be the best you can be. You need not be a victim of the toxic environment. Those who can't avoid being sucked into that environment probably should step aside and choose another path. Earn your place and you will get there.

@@FernandoChaves Thank you for the advice. It's actually very encouraging. Yes, I do my best to improve myself everyday. When I'm in doubt I remind myself of my ultimate goal of becoming a physician.

Pre-med was removed from the Philippine curricula in the 70's. Now, any 4 year course as undergrad plus some units in Chemistry, Physics, Botany, Zoo.... etc is enough. I think is better, not all Pre-med grads will finish medical school and pass licensure.

@@danielblue4460 You can qualify for medical school in the US with any bachelor degree, you just need to take the additional science classes. In fact many do this in the US. I was Biology/Pre-Med. Graduating with a Pre-Med degree and failing to gain admission to med school is far from a dead end. You can get a masters and reapply or go on to work in the sciences. You can go MS and then PhD. I have known several people with a PhD in the biomedical sciences that originally intended to go to med school but didn't get in.

This is so true. One of my younger working colleagues who just became a RN stated you sre better off work8ng in Costco than working as CNA, PCT, . Its sad

Me too. I’m proud and satisfied with my career as a PICU RN. I’m getting out of this dumpster fire now.

"covid" wasn't anything to worry about retrospectively but we get the point.

Geez 16 hours that does not sound healthy, you have my upmost respect. I am a physician and I understand the burnout that health professionals experience.

Absolutely true. The implicit "contract" between an employer and its employees... is no longer there. It's more of a one night stand now: I owe you nothing, and vice versa. Applicable to the western society in general. I see/treat folks from all walks of life stressed/maxed out to the extreme. And on and on ...

Capitalist exploitation is present across all professions, yes. Own your labor and be set free

@@careborne yeah, but then when the doctor quits the buisness says "don't you care about your patients? " So you stay longer than you should because you don't want to hurt your patients, to management benefit.

Of course it's with other professions but healthcare workers have it the worst. There's nothing comparable to saving/healing patients.

Same with teaching! At age 60, I ended up working twice the hours I put in at age 30. We’re treated like factory workers, not professionals.

Joshua, what is happening in vetmed is similar but for some the acrimony comes from other vets. I was anticipating graduation from vet school in 2019 and had passed all required academic courses plus more than the required number of clinical rotations plus had passed the licensing exam. The school allowed one junior instructor (6mo experience teaching in clinic) to fail me in an easy rotation (dog/cat wellness, non emergent vaccine and deworming cases). The fail was based in false accusations and fabricated claims for which they could produce NO evidence at all. The school ‘investigated’ my appeal of this grade by interviewing everyone except me, and refusing to tell me what was said about me. They refused to let me see my own academic record or the comments put there by the instructor. One of the instructors was my own landlord (conflict of interest) and when a vet client became angry with her (with the vet landlord), I was blamed. No evidence was provided to prove I had upset the client. I said that the client had mot been upset with me. I was then blamed for ‘not reflecting’ on my ‘bad communication which upset the client’. Much much later I discovered that the client had written a complaint letter to the vet which proved I was not to blame. A dean also saw this letter. This was before I was even failed in the rotation - they knew the client was not upset with me but failed me on that basis anyway. The letter was with held from me and from the appeal panels. That is obstruction. In order to cement their false claims, I was also accused of ‘confusing or upsetting many more clients’, but no one could tell me which clients or how I had upset them. In fact, NO evidence has ever surfaced for any of the claims made against me. Further, the grading form shows they actually passed me in the rotation, but then crossed off the pass and replaced it with a fail grade, without explanation. During the whole time I was in the program I did nothing wrong and nothing unethical. I was a normal student with a variety of grades and no me tal or behavioural problems. The school kicked me out based in that invalid ‘fail’, saying ‘we can do whatever we want’ and even my evidence and appeal to the provost of the university went nowhere because everyone just defaulted to unconditionally supporting the instructors and school admin, no matter what had happened. I have been shunned by most people at the school because as soon as a student is villified, everyone else scatters and denies all knowledge, under the unwritten ‘code of silence’, lest they themselves are targeted by association. I was already in debt and when they kicked me out I could not find a job of course; I had to declare bankruptcy last year and my mental health has suffered due to no health insurance and the post-traumatic stress (during the grade appeal, which took 10 months), I was publicly humiliated in front of the university council as the schools lawyer and the junior instructor lied about my performance and made vague derogatory statements about me, which the council did not verify or confirm. I had to move back in with my parents and could not even find a menial job because my education makes me over qualified for many jobs and yet I have no credentials that give value to my actual knowledge and skills. Even though the vet shortage and vet mental health crisis was a thing in 2019, the school preferred to claim they were right and save face rather than negotiate with me or discuss how the grade was invalid. Politicians I have contacted simply ignore me. The regulator/licenser (which grants veterinary licenses and monitors/refulates vet behaviour and professionalism) told me that despite all the evidence of dishonesty, unfairness, unethical tactics in how I was treated while on the rotation, they decided the school sid nothing wrong and they even blamed me for not addressing the conflict of interest which was held by my vet landlord during the rotation. They absolved the instructors and the admin of any wrongdoing, without explaining to me how they arrived at the decision. Vet professional bylaws state that ‘all members’ must be fair, honest, compassionate, respectful, ethical, etc.’ and I had plenty of documents/audio files/letters demonstrating breach of bylaws, but the prof. conduct committee just ignored it all. I have been forced to go to court and guess what, the schools lawyer has already begun tricks and strategies to avoid explaining the evidence. So, what does this say about the vet ‘profession’? Legislation may grant schools ‘autonomy’ in their own affairs, but does this mean they can discriminate, bully, obstruct justice, etc in order to serve their own selfish and facesaving ends? No. The laws of natural justice still apply. In 2019 I was excited to look forward to being an ethical, essential vet who understands animal agriculture and can speak to anyone no matter how ‘difficult’ the client (I demonstrated this in numerous rotations). Now I am financially ruined and struggle with my mental health, and fear for my future. How can I prepare for retirement? I will probably never retire, and right now I am seriously considering social assistance. My CV is a mess, I have no references from the past 10 years because the people I did know at the vet school refuse to talk to me. So how do you get a job with no references and with a disastrous academic record? True or not, false accusations always ruin you. This problem has not only affected me but has affected dozens of people who were associated with me - my elderly parents, for eg., who are now looking after me when it should be the opposite. I have come across people whose animals were in crisis and I should have been able to help them but due to the school’s decision, I had to decline / stay quiet and the animal suffered needlessly. All because a few people chose arrogance over honesty, selfishness over ethics. My vet colleagues are overworked and suffering but I cant share the workload or help them because of the school’s decision. Is this what they wanted? Apparently so…, after all, they can ‘do whatever they want’.

I am also a nurse on a medical unit nicknamed hell 4. Quite brutal. And I work about 20 twelve hour shifts a month. Then I see these middle aged boomers on TV complaining that the conditions in their old ass parents seniors home are atrocious blah blah blah. I'll give a shit when these liberal hypocrites actually get a job taking care of their own damn parents. Become a Healthcare aid or a nurse if you think your parents need more care. But nope. Just meaningless complaining. So I agree we are overworked. But if I ever see someone complain about it I tell them then they should get there ass in there and care for their old ass parent daily or do it at home. Nope. It's always someone else's problem. Hypocrites. So quit feeling bad for people who die under poor hospital conditions. They never cared and never raised kids who cared enough to actually do an actual real job. They all wanted fake coffee drinking paper pushing government jobs or more recently 'social media' influencers. So if I was you I'd expect to die in shitty I mean shity senior care because those are the children boomers raised. The ME generation are fragile entitled narcissists who want a life of no responsibilities and fun. This doctor fits the bill. He literally says he might start doing social media. No real man would ever be such a sellout

This is exactly the issue. I’m also a family doc. I literally just told my colleagues I’m finding a replacement doc for my 1000 patients.

Lies… I’m a physician and am constantly in an ethical battle between what is best for you the patient he quota I am “encouraged” to meet. In my experience many of the patients really want help and trust the advice you give them.

Your job isn't to care about what "the patient wants." It's not your job to save people from themselves. Your responsibility is to BE HONEST, so the patient can make the best decision for themselves - which may or may not be to listen to you and your expertise. You have no control over that.

The litigation is unfortunate. I feel like there is more trust in rural areas, but feeling like any day someone can attempt to hang you out to dry is stressful.

People are scum. We should go back to the caveman days, see how entitled they are then.

@Chris Hey, just curious if you can explain the educational difference between becoming a P.A. and an M.D.. I personally feel my P.A. is more attentive, willing to listen & open to my own ideas. I wish there were more people like them. I'd appreciate any info you can give on the difference between the two. Thanks.

​@@denawagner360 In short, as I understand it, PA is more of an accelerated path with nowhere near as many during-school clinical hours as MD, though it requires more clinical exposure before school. There's no residency. They're both medically trained but MD enter their jobs with a ton of clinical exposure and more depth to their knowledge. Then after school, MD's will continue to learn and specialize. PA's can do research, but it's not common. A common saying is that PA learn 2/3 of MD in 1/2 the time, which is a double edged sword.

@@Chris-pt6hh Thanks for replying quickly & breaking that down. I appreciate it!

Your predicament is not limited to specific fields, its how the economy operates, the less an employee gets paid, and the more a “customer” pays the more money for the employer. Its not something that can be escaped, unless u work for yourself, and even then as a consumer you will not escape this dynamic… Per my estimation, we can only escape this by changing the way we structure our society

Radiology is like working as a cow in a milk factory, having to give 10% more milk every year for -10% of grass you’re being fed while competing with all the other cows (ripping each other into pieces) for +3% bonus grass. Been there, done that, have fun and enjoy the incoming robo-cows that squeeze out twice the milk with a little less flavor - but nobody is going to care 🐄🐄🐄🐄

The nurses I know are now making 3x the amount they are usually paid because of so many quitting. $40k jobs are now paying $120k. Hard to say no then.

In my opinion, that’s what socialism looks like when it is allowed to grow in someone’s mind. Providers of healthcare, etc need to work for cheap just because. Meanwhile, “increase teacher’s wages!”. It’s a certain type of person who thinks like this- someone with no adequate grasp of reality.

Everything will get better! I did my first two years of medical school during the pandemic and it was horrible to be at home trying to learn all the material by yourself and feeling you are far from becoming a Dr. I’m in my 3rd year now, and I love my rotations. You will be able to put all that knowledge into practice. I wish you the best!

If you get through it you can still find a way to do things your way, such as working in a small outpatient practice where you aren’t treated like a cog. Hospital based medicine is becoming soulless

Don't worry It is just matter of small time .

It gets lots worse. Quit now while you can before you start fantasizing about hurting people back.

Hang on! The first two years are the worst of your life- things get better when you hit your clinical years. I still shudder when I think of the constant stress and worry those first two years.

@@dentaladdict98 I'm not clear what you mean by less physical demand. And salaries are a lot lower than you think with the trend being downward. Medicine is a just a ridiculous career now for most doctors because we spend so little of our time doing it. Most of our time is spent typing at a computer...approaching eighty percent or more.

And that's the Radiology department and not ICU or ED. When it comes to Covid, being a nurse or ER doc is the worst. Radiology isn't that bad!

I would like to see these kinds of studies also.

Wow. Sounds like the 15 year old is awake. Why are you recommending a experimental injection with no long term safety data, risks known and unknown on a healthy 15 year old? Maybe you need to rethink your philosophy.

Be cause he was a morbidly obese smoker with increased risk for a bad outcome if he got COVID. I had already seen two of these kids not do well. But then I work the front lines and see the reality of poor decision making. So sure, while most can do fine with COVID many did not. They survived the disease but suffer long term Complication. So go back to the basement, ask mom for some hot pockets and keep watching Fox News. We will need you soon.

​@@Calusa.Wanderer I would blame you here. That's not a very smart recommendation.

Use some of your free time to seek out the M&M of the jab. The conspiracy theorists tallied a solid win on this one, and the academics were shown to be fools

Lol the patient was right though. Phiezer just admitted the link between vaccines and blood clots, plus causing womens menstrual cycles to change. That’s egg on your face buddy.

Wow, yes. interesting comment that others don’t point out, the obvious …..of keeping people sick, big pharma, broken medical system, so many can’t afford to be sick at ALL, sad

come to Australia, to a culture where people actually appreciates peeps working in the caring profession, unlike fake americans who say they appreciate but actually counting their dimes in their pockets.

Most definitely

Read the history of american healthcare. compare with now. you may find some answers
