At American Thinker, Steve Karp, MD has this to say about his own profession:
In “normal” times, the practice of
medicine has many challenges, some from within and some from outside the
profession. If you let it, much of your daily practice follows specialty
guidelines, insurance company criteria, hospital formularies, and other
annoyances. None of those entities have any liability when it comes to our
patients. For the most part, liability lies with the treating physician.
Each specialty plays a particular
role in a patient’s care and specialists often view issues from different
angles while wearing their tunnel-vision glasses. For instance, some
physicians view elevated cholesterol as an indicator to assess other
potential underlying medical issues, while a cardiologist will just write a
prescription for a statin drug, just as a cat reflexively chases a mouse.
What changed overnight and across
the board, was an anti-science attitude across all specialties to everything
related to COVID. A viral infection is not something requiring government
management, rather, its encounter is part of a physician’s daily medical
practice. The government has seemingly accomplished what medical
insurers, medical boards, and hospitals tried, but had not yet succeeded at:
complete mind control of physicians. And with that, the last vestige of
respect I had for my profession died.
. . .
Read the rest here. It
does seem as though it’s every man for himself when it comes to how any of us
make choices about the “vaccine” or ivermectin / quercetin / zinc, etc.
