How does medical indoctrination work? Why do doctors take so long to question what their authorities have taught them?
First, medical students are selected for their outstanding ability to please the teacher: we can memorize large amounts of information and put the “right” answer on the test. We are not chosen for our critical thinking skills, but for our ability to accept what our authorities tell us.
Second, we are made to do many uncomfortable things during residency training while stressed and sleep deprived. Taking a bone marrow biopsy is a nasty thing to do, but necessary. Cavity exams are gross, but necessary. So, taking organs from a heart-beating person because your authority told you to do so can blend into this routine.
Third, once you’ve participated in something unconscionable, it’s very difficult to admit you were wrong. Especially when admitting this might mean losing your job.
Upton Sinclair was right when he said “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
Nevertheless, more doctors are emerging who are willing to admit that “brain dead” organ donors are not dead at the time their organs are removed. I personally know two transplant surgeons who have changed specialties because they came to realize that the donors are not dead.
There was a time when the number of doctors speaking out against brain death could be counted on one finger: Dr. Paul Byrne.
Now, more and more doctors and organizations are questioning the brain death fallacy. I will be speaking on the ethics of transplant medicine at the 83rd Annual Meeting of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons later this month.
@OwenShroyer1776@barnes_law I am afraid that it is not cluelessness but deliberate and that there are plans being made to crack down on us to shut our mouths, like in the UK.
So the same jews who entrapped middle class Americans in a lifetime of debt, now want to “forgive” that debt, in return for fighting Israel’s war?
Keep in mind, the debt just gets absorbed by the federal government, which the middle class cover via inflation
This is insanity
🚨BREAKING: All Christian schools in Jerusalem will suspend classes in protest over Israel’s refusal to renew entry permits for more than 70 teachers and staff from the West Bank, affecting over 8,500 students.
Full Statement Issued by the General Secretariat for Christian Educational Institutions in Jerusalem (English Translation):
Suspension of School Attendance Due to the Non-Renewal of Permits for Teachers and Staff
For hundreds of years, the Christian schools in Jerusalem have carried out a deeply rooted educational and humanitarian mission and have constituted an integral part of the city’s identity and its cultural and social fabric. Throughout their history, our schools have been committed to providing high-quality and distinguished education and to raising generations founded on knowledge, values, belonging, and responsibility.
As our schools prepare for the opening of the new 2026–2027 academic year, we were unfortunately surprised, once again, by the non-renewal of entry permits for more than 70 teachers and employees from our educational, administrative, and support staff. This occurred suddenly and without prior notice, preventing them from reaching their schools and directly affecting the schools’ readiness for the opening of the academic year.
The absence of this large number of staff members affects various aspects of school operations, including educational, administrative, and health services, in addition to cleaning services and security and safety procedures. This makes it impossible to guarantee a safe and stable start for our students.
Accordingly, following consultation and coordination with the relevant authorities, representatives of parents, and Jerusalem schools, it has been decided to suspend school attendance in the schools of the city of Jerusalem beginning Tuesday morning, 1 September 2026, until the necessary permits for teachers and staff are reissued and renewed, thereby ensuring that the educational process can proceed safely and properly.
While we reaffirm our full commitment to our students’ right to education, we also emphasize the importance of the educational mission carried by our schools, which constitutes an essential part of our identity, culture, and presence in the city of Jerusalem, raising generations founded on knowledge, values, belonging, and responsibility. It is a mission that carries a message and nurtures a culture of just peace. The recurrence of such measures undermines the stability of our schools, hinders their ability to fulfill their mission, and negatively affects students, their families, educational staff, and society as a whole.
We pray and hope that this crisis will be resolved as quickly as possible, that such measures will cease and not recur in the future, thereby preserving the stability of our educational institutions, guaranteeing students’ right to regular and safe education, and enabling our schools to continue their educational and humanitarian mission.
We hope for everyone’s understanding of this decision and look forward to a swift resolution of the crisis, the return of our students and staff to their schools, and the regular commencement of the academic year.
Signed: Christian Schools in Jerusalem.
@RamAbdu I saw a 60 minutes report decades ago where adult Israelis said these kinds of things about Palestinian Israeli citizens. Then the reporter introduced them to one who was a young man wanting to go to college and they got all nicey nice. Yeah, right.
Murió el exboxeador puertorriqueño Prichard Colón.
De 33 años y originario de Orocovis, falleció este jueves 13 de agosto tras más de una década lidiando con las graves secuelas de una lesión cerebral irreversible.
El lamentable hecho sucedió el 17/10/15 en el EagleBank Arena de Fairfax, Virginia, cuando enfrentó a Terrel Williams y recibió reiterados golpes de conejo ilegales a la nuca (más de diez) que el árbitro Joe Cooper no sancionó a tiempo a pesar de las quejas constantes del boricua, a quien incluso le respondió “tú ocúpate de eso”, provocándole un hematoma subdural.
Su padre y exentrenador Richard Colón confirmó la noticia en redes con un emotivo mensaje en el que lamentó la partida de su hijo, a quien no pudo cumplir el sueño de llevar de vacaciones a Puerto Rico, y pidió oraciones para la familia, mientras recordaba que Colón, con un récord de 16-1 y 13 nocauts, pasó 221 días en coma y desde entonces permaneció en silla de ruedas bajo el cuidado constante de sus seres queridos, entre ellos su madre Nieves, convirtiéndose en un símbolo de resiliencia en el mundo del boxeo.
Israel is the only “country” with a 3000-year history that started in 1948.
A Zionist is a Holocaust survivor despite being only 30 years old.
Zionist Jews are the only indigenous people of Palestine whose ancestors are from Europe.
What else am i missing?🤔🤔
