The overt politicization of medical practice and medical treatment is not new, but it's disturbing to think what kinds of medical advice and medical decisions are being made by people who consider medicine to be downstream from Leftist policy, versus downstream from patient need. https://t.co/D0WYkYfG1F

Professional associations in this country have long been captured by the Left. We saw how bad this was for medicine in 2020 when the Medical establishment went in the twinkling of an eye from calling for people to stay home due to Covid, to endorsing participation in the George Floyd riots protests because “white supremacy” is a threat to public health. The Left kills everything it touches and Iowahawk has described the process:
1. Identify a respected institution. 2. kill it. 3. gut it. 4. wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect.
Six months since my aortic valve replacement due to a bicuspid heart valve defect since birth that shows up as you age. I’m fine.
Being prepped for surgery was scarier than it needed to be. The nurse asked me (in a tone that indicated someone was holding a gun to her head) “Mr. S… I HAVE to ask you this question… Have you always been a man?” Not a builder of confidence as preparation involves shaving that makes such questions absolutely ridiculous.
I answered “Ah yes, I remember when I was a little girl.”
She made a note on a paper and shook her head. All the while I was thinking “Thank Goodness I’m having this done now before things go completely insane.”
I’ll never forget the shock I was left with when I expressed concerns to my doctor about the injections (aka “vaccines”) and she treated me thereupon as if I were totally nuts, even though my concerns were well documented. No serious discussion, just a brush off of my questions and concerns. It was an eye opener. I’d get a new doctor but where to look? They’re all under the same pressure to conform to the decrees from higher up. Little room for independent judgment.
