Yes, most are just looking for the quick fix. However, there are many people choosing to take control of their health. We just need a whole new model that honors patients’ autonomy and respects practitioners. Read Chris Kresser’s Unconventional Medicine for one example of how it could happen.
I hope Laura does not give up her job, we need people like her. Just read another article by DR Mercola, about the fraud behind colonoscopies, which are one of the favorites nowadays it seems. I read his book of how the doctor can kill you and that stuck. If you have a computer you can do better than the doctor - you can take responsibility for your own health. Lots of harmless cures are available, and if nothing helps, then I will go see a doctor, But if you don't know what you have, most of the time they don't seem to know either. My doc is lucky to see me 3 times in 10 years. It has been 2 now and the Medicare lady could not find him listed, so he might be retired by now. I hope he did not starve because of patients like me LOL
A number of years ago I saw the documentary The Truth About Cancer - way more people die from the treatment than from the disease. And both natural and. Unconventional therapies like B-17 and vitamin C are scorned.
I have heard that John D Rockefeller who as considered the father of modern medicine was a worshipper of darkness. Wouldn’t doubt it. And the same can be said of his later day protege Mr Gates of Hell.
Very grateful for Laura and others like her. Yes, the system is woefully broken and it's overwhelming. It takes some courage not to look the other way, but at some point there will be no place left to look. Hopefully others will step up and speak up. People also need to reclaim their health choices and walk away. Each of us has a role. Thank you, Mickey Z, for this post.
How exactly would nurses come to the conclusion it would be a good idea to put out choreographed dance routines filmed in a hospital at a time they were supposed to be getting crushed by COVID cases?
There was so much publicity given to these stunts at the time but no one mentions these things now. Hospitals are overwhelmed now that the pandemic is over and no in depth analysis is given as to why and what genuinely can solve the situation.
Another perpetually heartbroken nurse here. Still bedside. Now in an ICU. After my shift Friday night I moved through another state of desperation and considered seriously handing in my resignation. It’s a regularly demoralizing experience being inside such a sick system. I’ve considered moving to hospice where at least I could do a bit more good. But I did my meditation and got myself through the next shift.
It’s possible I’m rationalizing because this work does pay my bills but I do have moments of goodness. The fact of the matter is that human beings end up in the system and need loving care. Most end up there due to there own choices and are never really called to task for those choices. I’m constantly questioning whether I’m doing any good at all. For right now I’m sticking with it. Could change at any moment. Over the weekend I was able to give good loving care to a morbidly obese woman who cried telling me the most horrific things about her life and told me before I left how grateful she was to me. The daughter of the other patient I cared for as he died expressed to me how grateful she was for my care and for keeping her updated. I had talked to him as his heart slowed and his breath became more ragged. He was due to go home on hospice the next day but he was deciding to head out earlier which was likely a blessing as the family didn’t seem capable of the care he would need.
I do shutter when I see the comments from those who counter the insane narrative that nurses are culpable. There is truth to that for sure. But for nurses who know that nursing is sacred and once existed more outside of medicine it’s a lot more complicated. And yes I’ve read about the nazi nurses. We’ve been the whore and the angel right from the beginning. We are also the ones bearing witness to extraordinary and unending human suffering as we wade through piss and shit and blood.
So yeah. I understand the shame that awake nurses feel and the condemnation that righteous non nurses feel towards us. But those two precious beings who I cared for over the weekend needed loving care. And I gave it to the best of my ability. That may not make me a hero (who the fuck cares about that anyway) but I know that if those two people were my family I’d want me there for them.
The pharmacock suckers in major media, corporations and government go to private practitioners, while their retirement is partially financed by the corporate takeover of healthcare turning it into a glorified drive through, while medicine, food and chemical corporations make America sick to increase "health" profits.
It's demonic if you believe in that sort of thing.
Great summary by Laura - fascinating perspective that the goal is to completely collapse allopathic medical industry to open the door for Amazon clinic use - wow!
I grew up never going to doctors, never got vaccinated, relig exemptions in school. Of course I rebelled and thought when I left home I'd start going the way everyone else did. But I never developed the habit. Now, I'm really glad.
Mickey, thank you for this post!! It has been a lively discussion with people having the courage to share their experiences and suggestions. If we all put our minds together and support each other, we can get out of this mess!! As I mentioned in a previous comment, the first step to lasting change is to admit when we were wrong. Only then can we move on a new path forward.

I have been throwing doctors under the bus. In order to be fair and to see all sides of this issue, we also need to address the egregious ritual abuse, intimidation and violence that is occurring in medical schools. Doctors are also unwitting victims of the system. Doctors are also drowning in student loan debt which also fuels their focus on money instead of quality patient care. Medical schools are creating monsters who then perpetrate abuse on patients and staff. Below is a link with a compilation of articles that discuss this horrific abuse in medical schools and why institutions perpetuate and protect the abusers.
Here are a few quotes: "Medical student abuse leads to significant student psychopathology. In one study in which 80% of the hundreds of medical students sampled claimed they were abused in medical school - particularly during third year - more than two thirds describe the experience as being very upsetting and of major importance. Half said they were adversely affected for over a month. Fifteen percent said the abusive experience would always affect them." "...The literature starts in 1982 when a landmark study in JAMA pointed out striking parallels between changes that occurred in children who had been abused and changes that occurred in medical students, both having suffered largely ignored and/or unrecognized abusive episodes. The gradual transformation from eagerness and enthusiasm to depression and fear." "...Not surprisingly, studies find that the frequency of abuse was greatest during the surgical rotation. In one study, eight percent of students were threatened with bodily harm, assault, or assault with a weapon. Perpetrators were most often surgeons."
I don't think it's an accident that using fear and abuse is the modus operandi of the allopathic system to get compliance from doctors. Fear and abuse are how they control the entire world. We have a medical system full of people with broken spirits.
Buying a "cure" ??? Not likely...Buying a dream and fantasy of a cure !!!!! We are the product of "our" environment, and not only the "food chain" toxic, but so is Humanity !!!!!

This is why I trained to be a medical herbalist and homeopath.
I didn't want me or my family to be at the mercy of the pharma-pushers.

"Medical" isolation is only a small part of turning the country into a single isolation/death camp:
