Another dire part of AS is happening in Medicine--woke! has reared its ugly head into broad daylight.

The body responsible for certifying doctors of internal medicine, The American Board of Internal Medicine, has added political questions to its certification process. Read it and start looking for Dr. Hendricks. I put this under philosophy because we have no medical category, but it fits .

    It is not just the ABIM, but all the different specialty medical boards, including the American Board of Family Medicine that certifies me. And the American Medical Association is very woke. They (whoever "they" are) control everything. If I speak out against the vaccine, or health equity, etc, they will threaten to take away my board certification. This is why more doctors are not speaking out.

    Perhaps we should get rid of laws demanding licensure, and have different associations confer their licenses, according to their own philosophies, and advertise, and just let the public choose.

      If there is a clearinghouse where consumers can find out what they need to know, it could work. The clearinghouse would have no say or opinion, their only mandate being to keep all information current and accessible.

    WOW!!!!!!!! I’m speechless. We are going full blown Orwell. Nobody will be able to fence sit much longer.
    Agenda 2030 is well on it’s way. There WILL be another “pandemic”. Bank on it!
    And they’ll figure out how to tie it to Climate Change.
    IF conservative voices get back in power they need to go just as hard the other way.
    The only thing I’m sure of is Tyranny Actual is inbound.
    We need to start developing alternate systems.

        My parents bought me one along with theirs. I plan to go see it, dance on it, and promise to myself to make good use of the time I have left.

          Trying to make good use of the time I have left pretty much sums me dino up.
          Hopefully in the meantime, the Marxist Schiffheads of this world won't be messing with my freedom to do so.
          Live free, die well. That's my bottom line if you catch my drift.

            Live free, die well. I know a pilot who flew jets over Korea, he's about 90 now. In rough medical shape. He had to sell his airplane, but he still walks a few hundred feet with a cane at the airport each morning. He once told me, fiercely with anger, "If you ever see me fall down and I can't get up, don't you fkn dare call 911. You just stand on my neck and do me a favor. I'm not dying in some fkn hospital. Promise me." Wow. That guy was serious. I had to promise him because he was planning to give me free flight lessons. I don't know if I could follow through on that.

    If you're a white male, do you feel confident that a black female lesbian hoop-in-the-nose doctor will give you the best possible health care?

    I suppose any BIPOC person would feel uncomfortable with any white doctor.

    Competence. All that matters is Competence. All the other woke 5h1t doesn't matter.

    Keep reminding yourself: it's just a novel, from the 1950's. A work of fiction.
    Couldn't possibly be describing events in 2022... or could it?

      Just avoid the tendency to go woke with AS and Objectivism. Wokeness does not afflict only the left or religious conservatives, it can anyone who wants to belong.

    The architects' AIA went woke a few years ago. They lost a few of my colleagues over that. Their damn fees were over $1000/year. Talk about brazen...

    I have not trusted doctors for many years. They just prescribed drugs that harm you. They know nothing about diet and nutrition.

      As a retired rebel physician, I agree. Sexy drug sales representatives a/k/a drug pushers contrive to brainwash residents with social events and flattery. Nutrition gets ignored and so does the different prevalence of multiple sclerosis in various parts of the USA and the idiots in power don’t bother to test the minerals in the drinking water. Small wonder I’m furious with the Medically Organized Relying On Nonsense, MORONs for short.

    The AMA is a Communist, Totalitarian Union of Oligarchs, somehow granted control over your your rights by our government. They are motivated to ensure maximum standards of living for doctors.

    Nothing could be more useful than to destroy it through competition.

    DEI is not limited to human medicine. It is alive and well in veterinary medicine. The specialty board to which I belong went woke last year. I was required to list my pronouns. They are" Whiskey Tango FoxTrot.

    I'm not surprised. I am a now-retired rebel physician and have incurred abuse from medical boards. My analysis of maintenance of certification (which is abbreviated MOC, which stands for Monkeyshines Over Content) is at https://www.jpands.org/vol14no2/corre.... PPACA, which stands for Powerful Politicians Achieving Catastrophe Act and is colloquially called Obamacare, includes provisions that give unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats (medical specialty boards) essentially total authority. Incidentally, HIPAA stands for Help Increase Paperwork Activity Act in case anyone asks.

    I have fought medical boards; my strategy is published at https://www.jpands.org/vol17no2/harsh... and I understand that it has been reprinted in Australia.

    Incidentally, YouTube killed my video on racketeering in breast cancer management a few days ago. I put it on Rumble instead at https://rumble.com/v1dsq1v-breast-can...

    This awakening of the masses , concerning the corrupt Medical establishment is terrific.
    Its hard to see the truth but the alternative is deadly.

    One thing it is not, it is not for the Black race. It is one more power grab. If they cared about "diversity," they would not, under Obama, tried to get an mRNA vaccine to wipe out the African race! They just want doctors so tied up into details that they have no hierarchy of intelligence and true medicine decisions.
