You haven’t been driven to hate, you’ve just had your eyes opened is all.
Doctors have always been evil.
In ancient Egypt and Greece they drilled holes into people’s heads to supposedly treat all sorts of ailments. In the Middle Ages they promoted blood letting and the use of leeches, maggots and all sorts of other wonderful things (wonder what caused all those plagues). In Victorian London the poor and destitute often ended up on operating tables, restrained with belts while some “doctor” prodded and sliced away with his contemporaries watching and taking notes from the theatre seats above. In the latter half of the 19th century they sold cocaine and arsenic as miracle cures. In WW1 they giddily roamed the battlefields with bone saws, and in WW2 the quickest profession to join the Nazi party were doctors.
I will never understand our society’s inexplicable love and reverence for these assholes, ESPECIALLY after 2020 and the jabs. At best they’re gullible fools, and at worst they’re the most evil profession in recorded human history, with more blood on their hands than even the worst dictators.
Even the “good” ones who start out with the noblest of intentions end up becoming blunt, uncaring narcissistic assholes. Guess that’s what playing God all day with other people’s lives does to you 🤷🏼‍♂️
This kind of behaviour is totally in character as far as I’m concerned. I can totally see them letting an innocent child die without a transplant just to prove their point. The medical industry is vile.
People thought highly of them because for about half your examples, that was them trying to do something with shit that worked for reasons they didn't understand but it vaguely did something positive.
Maggots and leeches are still used today because, while disgusting to look at, it does work for its intended purpose.
I agree with a lot of what you are getting at, but I can't begrudge people centuries ago for simply being ignorant of shit they couldn't possibly understand like germs and illnesses but still trying to do something. Because the alternative usually was just to sit down and die anyway.
I don’t fault them for not knowing any better, that’s a good point actually.
It’s the fucking God complex they all have, the fact that they did all of those terrible things NOT knowing whether any of it actually worked but believing so because that’s what the scientific consensus of the day told them. It mirrors what’s happening today with the jabs. It’s one thing to be ignorant, but to also wield that ignorance like some god given authority and actually put people’s lives in jeopardy (like this poor child’s) is abhorrent.
I guess I shouldn’t paint everyone with the same brush because there are CERTAINLY good people like Malone, McCullough and others who put their necks on the chopping block.
I just have an unshakable distrust of the entire Industry now that I don’t think is ever gonna go away
I don't fault you for that, I feel much the same for many of them both today and in the past century.
I just also know that much of the stuff that looks primitive, evil, and horrifying to us now was basically the only way we could progress at all at the time and for many people the only "cure" they could manage even if it was just placebo doing its thing.
Though personally, I've had mostly on the level interactions with most actual medical doctors (instead of just doctorate doctors) and the God Complexes are all the nurses that surround them acting like they are personally saving the world each day as they wipe shit out of an old man's leg hairs.
I really resent the fact that I’ve been driven to hate doctors by all this.
