"Graham, I'm damned if I'm gonna give you a medical excuse to avoid the Army. You have a duty to defend your country."
Dr. Bill Marsh had been our family doctor since he had brought me into the world 21 years earlier. He did everything: diagnoses, prescriptions, and minor surgeries. He ran his own show – him and a couple of nurses. My family stuck with him until he retired, long after I had moved away.
Medicine was simpler then. There weren't as many specialists. There wasn't as much to read if a doctor felt like reading, and a busy doctor didn't have that much time anyhow. Looking back, it is clear he made some mistakes. They weren't fatal. Other doctors I have had since, specialists, have also made mistakes.
This old system of medicine worked pretty well for everybody. Since nobody had medical insurance, the doctor couldn't charge more than people could pay. The money the patient paid supported the doctor and the nurses and kept the lights on in the doctor's office.
You were not paying for loads of medical malpractice insurance, tons of insurance adjusters, or a bunch of medical practice managers. Doctors made more money than most people, but not outrageous amounts.
As was clear from his attitude about keeping me out of the Army, a doctor had a relationship with his patients. He felt that he knew me well enough to give me advice. Probably most important, the doctors most important and longest standing relationships were with his patients. They trusted him, and he usually deserved the trust.
Medicine changed rapidly starting about 50 years ago. The pharmaceutical companies were on a roll, developing more and more drugs. It was an age of medical research, as a result of which doctors started to specialize more. Vastly more lawyers started to practice in the United States, and they looked for rich people to sue – doctors.
Doctors were forced to work together in clinics. They shared the cost of the office, they shared the cost of the malpractice insurance, and a specialized.
After that doctors were forced into large corporations. They became employees, kinda like the doctors in the polyclinics here in Ukraine.
They stopped having relationships with their patients. The patient showed up with a bunch of folders on his medical history. The doctor had to start from scratch with every patient he saw. Without a personal relationship, he was no longer invested in his patient.
Instead, the doctor was invested in the big medical company for which he worked. He had a boss to please.
Doctors had other incentives as well. The pharmaceutical companies gave them money every time they wrote a prescription or gave a vaccine. Or even worse, they gave money to the health maintenance organization, who shared it with the doctor. It wasn't the patient who is paying, it was the insurance company.
Let me give you some cases in point. 10 years ago a cardiologist diagnosed me with arrhythmia. She ignored the facts that I had had it for quite a while, my brother had it worse than I did, and that my father had had arrhythmia and lived until smoking killed him at 87. She prescribed five medicines, blood thinners and God knows what else. She told me not to stress my heart by working out. I ignored her.
Five years ago I had walking pneumonia – a persistent cough, though I otherwise felt fine. At Oksana's insistence I went to the doctor. He told me I needed an antibiotic and gave me a pharmaceutical detail man's free sample of ciprofloxacin. And a few other medicines.
After taking the medicine for a few days, a muscle broke in my left leg. It hurt for a day. I read the counterindications. They said that you may have problems with your muscles. I emailed the doctor. He was absolutely uninterested. I stopped taking the antibiotic, and my cough and my leg got better, both rather slowly.
Four years ago Oksana had me see a urologist to see if I had some sort of an infection I could be sharing with her. He checked my nether regions and my blood and prescribed five medicines for me to take to get rid of whatever might be ailing Oksana. I read about the medicines on the Internet and said I was damned if I was going to take any of them. Since he didn't find any clinical evidence that I had a disease, I was not going to risk my health just on a whim.
One year ago last summer I had pains in my back. I went to see a back specialist. He prescribed me five medicines – that seems to be a magic number. Once again, I read the counterindications and didn't take them. Instead I bought a book on Amazon entitled "Treat Your own Back" and started doing the exercises they recommended. The problem went away in a matter of months and has not bothered me since.
The patient now has no power at all. He doesn't usually know the doctor who treated him. The doctor listens to the company he worked for, the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical companies.
And that brings us up to the year 2020. The whole Covid 19 episode has been controlled by the pharmaceutical companies, who are looking for billions of dollars in profits from the vaccines. The government in the United States pays hospitals more when they diagnose patients with Covid 19 – and even more yet if they are diagnosed as having died from it. The doctors get paid for giving vaccine shots.
There are a few old-fashioned doctors who aren't caught up in the money web. They question the very existence of a pandemic. They question the efficiency of the vaccines. They ask uncomfortable questions about side effects of the vaccines.
Postscript
This speech was delivered in early March 2021. I put a videotape copy up on YouTube. It was promptly deleted for medical misinformation. They are now injecting everybody they can get their hands on with those poisonous vaccines. People are dying in droves. The medical profession has been co-opted into supporting the program. I have written about it quite frequently in my blogs over the past six months, which you can read here.
Let me again name some of the heroes. Dr. Robert Malone. Dr. Joseph Mercola. Dr. Vernon Coleman. Dr. Lee Van Vliet. Alex Berenson. Bret Weinstein. Steve Kirsch. Geerd van den Bossche. Dr. Peter McCullough. Dr. Martin Vollmich. Dr. Wolfgang Wodard. Luc Montagnier. Stephanie Seneff. Dr. Judy Mikovits. Dr. Simone Gold. There is a long list of courageous people who have spoken out, but the government's instruments of suppression are powerful. This is truly a battle of the titans.
"The doctor listens to the company he worked for, the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical companies." Isn't that the truth. Our doctors in Virginia now work for huge organizations. One doctor knows a lot about one medical subject, while another knows something else, meanwhile, it takes going to at least five doctors to get a good diagnosis with an effective treatment.
