Someone forwarded me an email they got. It starts out with the image above and then continues with this: We’re the prey. “Convenience” is the bait. And they never stop collecting data. But the choice is still ours.Post-Woke is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
sounds almost as good as the doc here. You go, and a few hours later your computer is loaded with adds for meds for the ailment you went for ! Or even, did not go for but they measured for it.
This makes me laugh. I spend out of pocket money to see a naturopath. I'm going back to the way healthcare worked when I was a kid. Affordable doctors who actually helped. Except now, I go to naturopaths because they do the entirie holistic thing, not drugs etc. Anyone who thinks Amazon "healthcare" is anything but a waste of $$ is probably already culted.
Me: "Amazon, my heart is sore. The future looks like a choice between a harrowing descent into civilizational collapse, and a transhumanist panopticon hellscape that makes 1984 look like Dr. Seuss. Culture death seems inevitable, and nowhere do I see room for human dignity. What do you recommend?"
Amazon: "Have you tried fentanyl and VR?"
Me: "Amazon, my friend has developed an aggressive cancer but his health insurance refuses to cover treatment. What do you recommend?"
Amazon: "Have you tried fentanyl and VR?"
Me: "Amazon, I cut my finger building a chicken coop, and it looks like it's infected. What do you recommend?"
With the use of a PDR (physicians desktop reference), I’m betting even a medically challenged individual could have a lot of fun with that service, if you know what I mean.
I'm actually not surprised. I'm a nurse and there has been a steady progression to automated, patient directed, convenience "healthcare" for well over decade - minute clinics, telehealth and the like. If doctors accept insurance or Medicaid/Medicare their hands are essentially tied - those entities dictate what doctors can do - if they deviate too drastically from what insurance companies recommend or what the current "best practice" standards are they get their wrists slapped and I don't think they get reimbursed as much. So there really isn't an art to medicine anymore unless you seek a doctor who is in private practice or an alternative practitioner. I hate to be nasty, but the way healthcare is now you really don't need a human because all doctors do now is just check off boxes on the computer that are an algorithm based on the symptoms/diagnosis. Not much thought involved.
When I worked at an urgent care clinic 15 years ago the medical director instructed the doctors to "just give the patient a prescription and if they're not better they'll come back". At that clinic doctors were reprimanded if they spent "too much time" with patients. Some doctors at that clinic would literally never even touch patients. They would get their prescription ready, stand in the doorway and talk with the patient for a couple of minutes, hand them the Rx and move on to the next victim. So, medical practices have been steadily degrading for decades, but now with the COVID fraud it is so in our faces now. And society as a collective is mostly to blame because people want instant results, and they equate "health" with prescriptions. They just want to pop a pill instead of doing the hard work to be healthy.
It seems like a big part of the COVID agenda was to speed this process up by collapsing the allopathic medical industry with a mass exodus of doctors and nurses - thus rationalizing the urgent need for the "benevolent", all mighty Amazon clinic. What a life saver!! :-)
"Amazon Clinic" is here (healthcare without the health or the care)
I would not be at all surprised if this is Amazon's entry into the opioid market.
It’d be interesting to see the response if you listed all your symptoms consistent with Onchocerciasis (river blindness) and a bad case of rosacea.

Hey Mickey !
[They] didn't add step 4 about insurance info.
What the heck ?
Oh, that's always a pain in the neck !
Anyway...
Nice relay.
Bill Gates, et. al. probably have our info already on their books.
YEAH, THAT'S THE TICKET.
"# 27...NEXT !"
"I'll have a roast beef sangwich, leave the fat on."
"including a prescrption". Of course. It's all about the drugs.
Data mining for the biomedical complex. Do not be tempted by convenience. That’s how they get ya.

"Hi! I'm allergic to medical surveillance and data mining, and it seems to flare up every time I message Amazon Clinic... So, um, signing off!"
Wow! What will Amazon come up with next?
