Keywords

💡Doctor's Fear

Doctor's fear refers to the apprehension experienced by medical professionals to speak out against the systemic issues within the healthcare system. In the video, it is discussed as a significant barrier that prevents doctors from challenging the status quo or voicing concerns about practices they may deem inappropriate or harmful. The fear is rooted in various factors, including professional repercussions and the desire to maintain a secure career.

💡Debt

Debt, particularly student loan debt, is a key factor that influences doctors' behavior and decisions. The video highlights that the substantial debt carried by newly graduated doctors can lead to a reluctance to risk their careers by speaking out against established norms or practices. This debt often forces them to prioritize job security and repayment over moral or ethical considerations.

💡Medical Industrial Complex

The term 'medical industrial complex' is used in the video to describe the intertwined relationships between healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, and medical equipment manufacturers. It suggests that these entities have significant influence over medical practices and policies, often leading to a situation where doctors feel compelled to adhere to certain protocols or treatments, even if they have personal reservations.

💡Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is the ability to analyze and evaluate information objectively. The video argues that doctors are often not trained in critical thinking, which is essential for questioning established norms and making independent judgments. The lack of this skill can lead to a reliance on memorization and adherence to directives without questioning their validity or necessity.

💡Physician Societies

Physician societies are professional organizations that represent and guide medical professionals. In the video, these societies are criticized for having conflicts of interest, particularly with pharmaceutical companies and other healthcare businesses. The speaker suggests that these societies may prioritize the interests of their financial backers over the best interests of their members or patients.

💡Licensing Authorities

Licensing authorities are government or professional bodies that grant licenses to medical practitioners, allowing them to practice medicine legally. The video discusses how these authorities can exert control over doctors by enforcing strict regulations and standards, which can deter doctors from speaking out against the system for fear of losing their licenses.

💡Big Business

Big business in the context of the video refers to large corporations, particularly in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, that have significant financial influence over medical practices and policies. The video suggests that these businesses can shape healthcare decisions and protocols to serve their interests, often at the expense of patient care or doctor autonomy.

💡Servitude to the System

Servitude to the system implies that doctors are bound to follow the rules and protocols set by the healthcare establishment without question. The video uses this term to describe the situation where doctors feel they must comply with directives from above, even if they disagree with them, due to fear of professional repercussions or loss of income.

💡Misinformation

Misinformation, in the context of the video, refers to the spread of false or misleading information, particularly in relation to medical treatments or public health measures. The video discusses how medical boards and licensing authorities have been vigilant in policing the spread of misinformation, which can be used as a tool to suppress doctors who voice dissenting opinions.

💡Good People Doing Nothing

This phrase, attributed to the 1800s, is used in the video to emphasize the importance of individuals, including doctors, taking action when they witness wrongdoing or unethical practices. The video suggests that the failure of good people to act can allow for negative outcomes or 'evil' to flourish, implying that doctors who remain silent in the face of systemic issues are complicit in their perpetuation.

hello everyone Dr seil D Internal

Medicine physician welcome to another

video why is your doctor so fearful why

do so many doctors out there seem

absolutely terrified of speaking up and

stepping out of line This is a topic and

a thought that is on the lips of

millions of people out there so many

people suspected that something was

wrong way before 2020 with the way

Healthcare was going with the medical

care that was being being received with

interactions with Healthcare

professionals but since 2020 my goodness

millions of people out there including

myself have been completely woken up to

Serious systemic faults within our

system and many people out there

especially between 2020 and 2022 were

thinking why don't more doctors speak

out about this true insanity this

craziness look at what's going on it

makes no sense at all how can doctors

stay so quiet and I want to talk in this

video about why doctors are so terrified

why are doctors so fearful now I'm not

saying that any of these are excuses I

do not consider them excuses especially

in times where things demand that good

people should bravely speak out but I

want to explain why doctors systemically

are absolutely terrified and will do

whatever is told to them from above

Number One debt this should never be

forgotten about the amount of debt that

a newly graduated doctor has this has

become more of a problem in many Western

countries including the UK over the last

couple of decades but I live and work in

the USA and the amount of debt that new

doctors are riddled with is absolutely

eye popping I've seen figures hundreds

of thousands seems to be the average

I've heard some newly graduated doctors

approaching a million dollar in debt and

a newly graduating doctor is going to

want to try to pay that debt off and

they are absolutely terrified of losing

the ability to pay this back I actually

think that's a fallacy in many ways

because if worst came to worst any

Doctor Who is intelligent enough to go

through medical school could easily do

something else if they wanted to if they

wanted to get creative and think outside

the box I'm sure most doctors could do

things which were just as well paid or

even more wellp paid than being a doctor

but many may not want to understandably

take that risk but of course a newly

graduated doctor is going to have dreams

they're going to want to start a family

they're going to want to have a mortgage

they're going to want to have a decent

life and they are not going to want to

jeopardize that and remember it often

takes decades to pay back that level of

debt and they think they're going into a

secure job they are not going to want to

rock the boat that is a sad reality and

it is the perfect storm for the medical

industrial complex and big business that

pulls the strings of healthcare to have

so many doctors basically in a state of

servitude that's what it is absolute

servitude to the system number two

doctors are simply not well-versed in

critical thinking they've never really

learned that throughout medical

education the culture is to memorize

everything then when you become a doctor

you do what you're attending physician

or consultant if you're in the UK you do

what you are told and if you're a

consultant or in attending you do what

your physician Society tells you to do

the physician society that is loaded

with conflicts of interest and that is

the way things are critical thinking

skills the ability to take a step back

and say hold on I've looked at data

myself I've critically appraised

everything this makes no sense I'm

simply not going to do it I'm not going

to jump on board with that

recommendation that type of thinking is

not prevalent shall we say in the

medical world it's a totally foreign

concept to most doctors so if they've

never been taught it how when the

urgency comes to take a step up and be

brave are they ever going to do that and

number three following on from that the

professional agencies that keep the

doctors in line I won't get started on

my three-hour lecture on what I think

about physician societies I absolutely

refuse to join any of them I think they

are absolutely terrible for the good

practice of medicine look at where their

money comes from go to any physician

conference anywhere in the country maybe

there's one or two exceptions but go

into them look at the hundreds thousands

of doctors walking around going to their

lectures and then most of the conference

space is dominated by the exhibitor hall

which is where big business gets to

display their products the companies

often big farmer that have paid the

physician Society thousands hundreds of

thousands of dollars many have been paid

millions of dollars over time you tell

me who is the physician Society going to

be loyal to this could be a medical

society a surgical Society a Pediatric

Society are they going to be loyal to

the doctors who pay them a few hundred a

year or to the big business interests

which are paying them thousands use your

common sense and these physician

societies keep the ranks of practicing

doctors in line with their

recommendations doctors join these

societies and they think that they're

doing a good thing they think it's a

good thing to be a member of physician

societies I've said this before but if I

was in charge I would really clamp down

on the physician societies I think they

do a lot of damage to the good practice

of medicine and with the physician

societies you also have the licensing

authorities and the medical boards which

keep on making more and more expensive

tests for doctors to do more and more

requirements these organizations are

very Rich indeed and I remember at the

height of the pandemic I've shared this

experience with you before I remember

looking at emails from medical boards

warning Physicians that if they dared to

spread any misinformation there would be

serious consequences the medical boards

were all in on this they seem to be

losing a lot of sleep over this issue

and I thought to myself I've been

following your emails for years and I've

never seen you be Allin on anything

you've never said you're Allin on

reducing healthcare costs you've never

been Allin on raising the quality of

care improving access to doctors you've

never been Allin on addressing the true

root causes of illness those things

don't concern you but you seem very

concerned about stopping misinformation

and doctors speaking up sending out

these threatening emails you absolute

Scoundrels look at the things that you

care about while ignoring everything

else going wrong in healthcare so those

are some reasons then why your doctor is

very fearful why they are terrified for

stepping out of line and I want to share

that famous quote with you I believe

it's from the

1800s all it takes for bad things to

happen for evil to flourish is for good

people to do nothing and I really

believe that there are a lot of good

well-intentioned doctors out there who

are terrified and they simply won't step

out of line but really this is a

reflection of humanity in general how

many people when when the time is called

upon for them to be brave are brave

enough to do so it's usually very few

but I hope some of those few are you

listening because that's the only thing

that ever changes the world thanks
