Unfortunately none of this will change until the disgruntled docs quit en masse and form an alternative structure, with its own association and accreditation. Policy only changes when a solid new power threatens the old power.
All doctors are working people just like you and me and their bottom line is how much they earn doing whatever they do, however, being a doctor who sees you and prescribes scripts, is a lot less daunting than being in an operating theater doing whatever they do to save a life - my doctor was a Heart Surgeon - now he doles out prescriptions like a kid in a candy store.
BUT, and there is always a but, he is now the representative of the Chemical Company that he services, I'm guessing at least one works for AstraZeneca, that is, my Diabetes Doctor does because all of his scripts are for AstraZeneca products - I have not bothered to see who my "family" doctor represents and because he doles out "their" prescriptions, "they" provide him with insurance against any claims made against him for faulty diagnoses, where the patient is injured or dies, from their tablets or whatever and it is run a lot like Amway products were, the more scripts he signs, the more money he earns as a kick back and that can include holidays away for him and his extended family, for free and other lurks and perks which we never find out about.
So when you see your loving doctor looking after you so kindly, see if you can see the dollar signs flashing in the back of his eyes?
Went to my doctor once and said my (glasses) eyesight was so good that I could even read the small label which said who the maker of the eye test was - the thing was on the far wall of his office - and I said it was some "theoretical" name - so he turns his swivel chair around and squints with his eyes, but he can't make the name out, so he gets up and walks over to see if it was what I said it was - and then he says, no, it's not who I said it was, it's whatever - and I laughed and said Gotcha - have you ever seen an Indian from India blush, he did - the funniest thing I have seen in a long time - now he respects me to a degree and he seems to be on his guard that I don't pull a fast one over unsuspecting him, again .
Told him about the salt water cure for Coronaviruses and he could hardly contain his mirth, went to the toilet to compose himself again, although he still had that smiley look in his eyes when he came back - so I thought OK, on your head be it. Since then, he has had 3 Pfizer vaccines and probably the latest ones too - I am forever hopeful that he will see the error of his ways, as I continue unaffected and his health deteriorates (he is resigned that I won't ever have any of the vaccines) and I can say - told you so, yet again. It is how it is.
Sadly, it makes me trust doctors even less when they were so wrong about this. Even early on, we were wondering what is making doctors throw out everything we knew/know about viruses, quarantining and masks, etc. They went along to get along and figured, "oh well, what can it hurt?" Well, now we are seeing just how much all this nonsense has hurt.
We are grateful for the ones who have risked all to stand firm. Thanks!
The worse are, of course, the biased/political ones.
They are same, same as the rest of the population.
It has been my view for a long time that the medical profession is over-rated - "see your doctor") - as if doctors have the solutions. Those unfortunate enough to have had frequent dealings with doctors know the truth: that they are over-rated.
One of the best pieces written about our medical dilemma today.
I much appreciate your kind words....
thank you for writing it! I’m sharing with my friends and social media. It needs to be addressed.

And C19 exposed them for the world to see.
