Death By Doctor: The Grisly Data

Excerpt:
"While the medical industry is certainly diligent about safeguarding its profits and its stranglehold on the regulatory bureaucracy and corporate media, it’s not entirely clear where not killing/maiming its patients fits into its hierarchy of priorities, assuming it makes the list at all.

As the maxim goes, if you want to make an omelet, you’re going to have to break some eggs.

In the industry, the egg-breaking is called, euphemistically, “iatrogenesis.”

Via Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care (emphasis added):

“The side effects and risks associated with the medical intervention are called iatrogenesis. These side effects are also called adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Iatrogenesis is composed of two Greek words, “iatros,” which means physicians and “genesis,” which means origin. Hence, iatrogenic ailments are those where doctors, drugs, diagnostics, hospitals, and other medical institutions act as “pathogens” or “sickening agents.”
...
For instance, officially sanctioned policy of tossing patients on ventilators prematurely during COVID-19 for Medicare dollars — even in cases where the patient may not have needed ventilation and often ended up dying as a result, which I have covered before.

Just how prevalent is iatrogenesis?"

    And more specifically with the Covid pandemic (I was still practicing then), I totally think a lot of my patients did not die from Covid, they died from Covid treatments (remdesivir and ventilators). I worked for a large hospital chain. We were not allowed to try outpatient treatments like hydroxychloroquine or ivermectin. We were told to send patients that were borderline hypoxic home, offering no real treatment, and advise them to monitor their oxygen levels at home, if it worsened go to the ER. Many did worsen, were admitted, then the hospital would get federal money if they used remdesvir, more if ventilator. Once on ventilator, there was a strong chance of not surviving. The Covid nightmare was the last straw for me, I refused the vaccine, and was forced to retire. Not the way I wanted to end my career.

    As a retired family doctor who practiced for over 40 years, I would agree with this. A lot of medical interventions seem to just lead to more problems. Particularly surgery. Reflecting back on 40 years, I now think I over prescribed a lot of medications that may have done more harm than good. My mantra now would be "First, do no pharm."
