I completely agree with everything you said. I qualified in 1992, became a GP as quickly as I could to escape the bullying of hospital work, and then gave up in 2002 using the excuse of having 3 children. The hardest thing I’ve ever done is manage to keep turning up for work every day of my general medical, teaching hospital, house officer job. I couldn’t believe the bullying and couldn’t understand how every, supposedly brilliant, doctor put up with being treated like this. And why was it necessary? Just because our superiors had been bullied, they had to pass it down to us? I used to fantasise that perhaps I should commit a crime, because then I could go to prison and then I’d get sleep every night, regular meals, and I didn’t think the bullying could be worse!
I hated every day of my working life and would cry the night before, often. I had friends that would throw up every morning before they were ‘on take’ as SHOs or registrars. I did have some nice Consultants, but I remember at the DGH we had 6 obs & gynae consultants and only 5 SHOs. The point was that one consultant thought us juniors to be so useless that he didn’t need one and he would use midwives in our place. This was fine unless you happened to be assigned to his ‘take’. I remember admitting a patient, doing all the tests and starting the antibiotics ( as I’d been taught by other nicer consultants) and when I told him about it, he launched it a tirade of abuse, shouting at me in front of the whole ward, all the nurses and the patients in the 6 bed bay, that ‘how dare I start treatment’ (remember others would shout at you for not starting treatment) and reduced me to red faced, tears pouring down my face, wreck. He was also an examiner for the DRCOG which I sat (annd passed), and had written a textbook.
There was an ophthalmologist who I worked for as a joint ENT & ophthalmology SHO in the DGH. One evening I saw a man from the nearby RAF base who was quite high ranking, but presumably had children my age as he stood up for me! I told him I was ENT doctor just covering ophthalmology, so I could examine his eye but then I would need to call the consultant on call, which I did. The consultant didn’t rush back in so I apologised to the man for the wait and said I had called the consultant. When he finally turned up he examined the man and said he clearly had uveitis and couldn’t I see it. I looked through the slit lamp and couldn’t see what he was describing (maybe because I wear contact lenses and my vision isn’t perfect, so it might not have been in focus - trust me those tiny flecks are hard to see) and he got really cross with me. The man ( in his uniform) spoke up and said ‘it’s not her fault if she can’t see it’ and humbled the consultant. I was forever grateful for that patient.
I knew I had to give up working from my last years in clinical school but felt I couldn’t because ‘what else could I do’, ‘I might as well qualify now I’ve been through so much already’, and ‘I should at least qualify as a GP so I can work half time and maybe I won’t hate it so much’, and ‘after putting up with all this I should at least earn some money from it’!
I'd like to see doctors trained on a more practical basis, starting by studying part time and spending time working on hospital wards along side nurses, then gradually working their way up. I'd like to see nutrition and natural health management included in training, as well as lifestyle and environmental factors.
I am completely opted out of the National Harm Service and it's going to take an absolute miracle to make me trust it again.
Stress and sleep deprivation are factors in heart disease according Dr Kendrick as well as being well known torture techniques. No wonder so many people are killed by medical errors.
Excellent analysis. I've heard this before but you bring the first hand experience. The medical profession is designed to weed out anyone with empathy and leave those who are autistic. It rips out your heart and replaces it with a calculator. Trauma based mind control is definitely not too strong a phrase.
Your solution, however, is aiming too low. The work doctors do, and what draws them into the profession, is helping people feel good in their bodies and not have pain. That's a beautiful thing and I think all doctors, deep down, still have that motivation. But the job that doctors are paid for is making profits for insurance and pharmaceutical companies--making the rich richer. That's true for all of us, there are no ways to make a secure living by doing good.
It's the whole design of that economic model we need to change. And as you know, I have a plan.
Dear Ahmad, four points I'd like to add to today's essay.
One, I now spell your name correctly! For that I am grateful. Grateful to you for your tolerance, and grateful to the Ministry of Defense who last night uploaded a corrective brain patch. Without government mind control we would not be who we are.
Speaking of which, what became clear from the great Covid Attack and Panic of the 2020s was that the entire medical profession had become, worldwide, militarized. What was once suspected is now evident. By militarization of medicine I mean that in two regards. The direct funding and manipulation of medical research and practice for warfare ends, well outside the bounds of biological weapons labs, extending throughout into civilian practice. Plus, imposition of a top-down military-style command and control structure, rigid in its organization and remorseless in the execution of commands. That is to say, of "protocols". From orderlies up, you're all just soldiers at different ranks in the hierarchy. Compliments to you for providing excellent insight into the training regimen.
As to how medicine came to this sorry state I have a request to make. I'd like you to interview Dr. Richard Day. Dr. Day was an insider who knew what was in store for us sixty years in advance. He is famous for a 1969 invitation-only address in which he explained to a packed audience of doctors what was coming down the line. But there is a catch. Dr. Day died in 1989. As the next best substitute I suggest you interview Dr. Lawrence Dunegan, who knew Dr. Day. There though is a second catch. He too died years ago. So what I propose is that you spend an entire episode in which you do nothing but read the following transcript of Dr. Dunegan's recollections, as recorded in 1991. Here are some attention grabbing quotes I have plucked from the middle.
"There would be profound changes in the practice of medicine."
"All health care delivery would come under tight control."
"The doctor would be gradually recognized as a highly skilled technician - and his job would change."
"The image of the doctor being a powerful, independent person would have to be changed."
"The job is to include things like executions by lethal injection."
Heck, I will make it worth your while. I hereby pledge, in public, to double my subscription rate should you interview Dr. Dunegan. Tell your rain-damaged ceiling I say hi.
And fourth, what can be done about it? How can such a behemoth of a corrupt evil system be replaced? It is stunning in how powerfully the system protects itself. It seems impenetrable. I ponder this question a lot. I don't have the answer but I do have a thought to share.
Ivermectin is turning out to be a miracle drug in more ways than one. Not just in its classic role as an effective anti-parasitical, or as a protection against Corona viruses, or even more recently as breakthrough in cancer treatment. But as something more profoundly psychological.
The way to break a corrupt system is for the members to not want to be part of it anymore. The way to not want to be a part of it anymore is to see a viable alternative that excites the still-idealistic young doctor (and a few senior curmudgeons too). This is what I see emerging as more professionals are starting to follow the lead of Dr. William Makis. When the penny drops and the realization of Wait a minute, we can do something fantastic here! takes hold, these are the early tremors of a tectonic plate shift.
Give moral injury an outlet to heal and the sick system they call health care will not survive. Money, tradition, censorship, nor intimidation is enough to staunch the sudden outflow of good people given to moral outrage, then healing. That at least is where I place my hope.
If you are casting about for a lite version of Trauma-based mind control, perhaps Stress-based attitude conditioning fits the bill. For most people the phrase mind control invokes a science fiction image of robotic semi-humans, automatons having a complete absence of will. The transformation via medical school is not that extreme. Tragically though, the effects in practice are.

That makes so much sense to me Doc!
