This is a splendid and exhaustively prosecuted major element of the "medical situation" as we see and experience it today. Total assault on the future practitioners combined with the long term persuasive campaign convincing the population of its inability to think for itself in matters essential to their existence

(what to eat, what to think, who to trust, leading to abandoning self-reliance)

makes complete picture where we are today. Most impressive post, thank you!

I remember a friend explaining how the worst time for her was residency.

It was like a boot camp for the interns with long shifts and little sleep.

There was also humiliation by the doctors on interns sometimes for asking questions.

This made her very anxious of authority in her profession.

This sums up pretty perfect the character that I observed in almost all doctors over the years.

I think, you are missing two important points though, that lead to their behaviour:

1. At least in Germany, there is a strong pre-selection of personalities who are interested in becoming a doctor in the first place. Only a small part of them is driven by genuine interest in medicine.

2. The current regime of health insurance does not allow a doctor to listen to a patient, even if he wants to, as only a few minutes are being paid.

Great post.

Modern medicine has benefits (e.g. emergency room care) but its primary purpose is to make money for Big Pharma and to depopulate with “treatment”. This is especially the case with oncology. The Powers That Be (PTB), who fund Science, determine the scientific “consensus”- not scientists. Scientists and doctors “believe” what they’re paid to believe.
