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
