Independent medicine and fair trials are quests for the truth, a discredited concept shunned by many. From Paul Craig Roberts at paulcraigroberts.org:
I often refer to how much of America has been eroded away during my lifetime, so much so that the country into which I was born no longer exists. Younger people don’t know what’s been lost as they never experienced the real America. What is normal to people is what they are born into and grow up with. The numerous infringements on individual freedom, for example, that exist today as normal and unquestioned would have been impossible in my youth.
Is your doctor in private practice or is he an employee of a HMO or a health care provider such as a hospital’s corporate empire?
Why does it matter? If he is a corporate employee, he has lost his independence and has to comply, regardless of his judgment, with protocols handed down by the likes of Tony Fauci and Big Pharma as in the restrictions placed on Covid treatment. Corporate employees were prohibited from saving lives by treating Covid patients with Ivermectin or HCQ. Those who thought the Hippocratic Oath protected them and ignored the protocols in order to save lives did so at the cost of their jobs and medical licenses. Doctors in private practice cannot be fired, but medical boards can still go after them, but it is not as easy.
Over the course of my life I have watched the gradual erosion of medical independence. It has occurred through a variety of means. Medicine in the US today is a price controlled business. Medicare and private insurance companies set the prices doctors are paid for the range of services and treatments. The prices discriminate against doctors in private practice. There is one set of prices for corporate medical practice and another set with lower prices for doctors in private practice. The intentional effect is to drive doctors out of private practice. I have watched it happen to my doctors.
