This account is most sad, but most understandable. What Chris needs to do, Don, is get the Hell out of Dodge. You should have him taken to a safe place, where he can totally hide from the system. After a few months, especially when they see he has advocates, all those stupid and incomprehensible charges will just go away, as they did in my case. The system is lazy, and, contrary to what they project, hardly functions like a well-oiled machine. Rather, they will, at least at the local level, weigh costs against benefits, and ultimately decide not to extricate or extradite him. Not unless some cop has a personal grudge, that is, and I doubt that is the case here.
I have my own list of medical horror stories. I could start where I dislocated my finger trying to catch a long football pass. I was in pain, but all the hospital was interested in was my insurance. I was ultimately told the specialist was not in, AFTER my doctor- who was worse than useless- recommended I go to the emergency room for x-rays. Then I was told to go home and take an aspirin.
Years ago, my grandmother trusted the medical racket. They had her on seven medications- and this was way back in the 1970's. I said there is no way in hell even the most intelligent doctor can tell anyone how seven medications are going to interact with each other. As a chemist, if I throw seven reagents into a beaker full of water, I have no way of knowing what is going to ultimately happen, or even what color the precipitate will be.
When I was in Texas, I took Brother Dismas to the hospital. He was in obvious pain, but the first stop was to the administration to verify his insurance. Needless to say, he should have been admitted right away and placed, if not in intensive care, at least under observation.
Recently, on a video of the Civil Rights Lawyer, I watched in absolute unbelief as cops pulled a disabled and dying man from an ambulance at the behest of an obviously unqualified paramedic. He staggered over to a bench on the sidewalk, and collapsed beside it. Then two paramedics and ten cops just stood around for five minutes before going over and finding him dead.
This system, this country, and this people are beyond broken. The lack of the most fundamental charity is astounding. Stalinist Russia would blush.
I don't know how I could have taken Chris anywhere, WW. He's in Massachusetts and I'm in Virginia. I've done everything I can to help him. Your experiences are very common. If you'd been an illegal, there would no pit stop for insurance information. I saw that video from the Civil Rights Lawyer. Seems to do good work, but refuses to answer people. Thanks.
The Civil Rights Lawyer is One Dimensional. He berates the cops which I totally agree with, but he acts as though the other parts of the system- the courts in particular- will weed out the bad cops if only activism increases. Nothing could be further from the truth, but of course he is not going to go there. And of course, donate, donate, donate to his organizations. So, while he does have good material, I suspect he is ultimately a shill.
Some/many/most hospitals have a charity write off option for uninsured patients who cannot pay the hospital bill. It's a simple form to fill out, and I was able to get a $35K hospital bill written off. The write offs are tax deductions for the hospital, so they don't mind doing them. It is no loss for them.
It is a little known secret that I found out about that works.
That's what the hospital I was in called it, but other hospitals may call it something else. It's basically declaring your inability to pay the bill, and that you have no medical insurance.
It's a form you get from the billing department of the hospital.
Fill it out and submit it, then they have to approve it, which it seems they do in most cases.
If the bill is a smaller amount of a few thousand, they sometimes discount it 50-70% since their markup is usually the same 50-70%.
If it's a larger amount like mine was, they already assume you won't be able to pay it, so it's better for them to just write off the full amount than send it to collections for pennies on the dollar.
Their ER was run by another company, so I got a separate bill from that company for the ER services. The hospital can't write that off, but that company can usually discount their ER bill rather than get nothing.
I don't know if all hospitals do this, but I would think they would.
I also suspect that they get some compensation from the government for their write offs too.
They use people as guinea pigs. So its a "luck of the draw", if you will, if you can stay out of clutches of their dirty filthy hands. We're back in the times of the Salem Witch Trials, but about 1000 times worse.
What is happening now has absolutely no precedent in history. Evil disguises itself as good. Diabolical Narcissists are running everything, yet the sheeple continue to pretend these are the good guys.
More humans on the planet, more evil, IMO. We know they are not the good guys, and honestly, I think most people do. But are so afraid to speak against them. Not me. I don't fool myself because you cannot fool God.
A lot of dangerous people are not sociopaths on par with Bill Gates, Elon Musk or Klaus Schwab. They are just cold and indifferent to the suffering of those around them. They don't plot to hurt others or actively delight in destroying lives.
They just follow orders for the paycheck. It's not their fault if standard care doesn't help. They won't be held accountable by those they work for.
These people enable what is going on. It wouldn't work without their help.
Not sheeple so much as machines. Heartless, remorseless, indifferent. The same sort that broadcast their "empathy" on SM every day.
As this evil becomes more exposed and obvious, people are more responsible. My mother always said that the year 2020 gave us 20/20 vision concerning the geopolitical reality. The Plandemic did clearly revealed the conspirational nature of the international world and transnational corporations. But at this time many people simply do not want to admit that they were fooled. Even a lot of good people were surprised at the breadth and depth of the conspiracy, and now they do not want to admit the obvious.
I am done with those who think some sort of political or even military solution is going to solve this crisis of humanity. We are in the midst of the Great Apostasy foretold by St Paul, and, as he also foretold, charity has grown cold.
People at this point simply do not want to reform their lives and embrace the Christian ideal, which includes chastity, honesty, humility, perserverence, and submission to Truth. They prefer rather all the trinkets and entertainments that the Satanic Pederasts have to offer, and they are going to pay dearly, in this life and in the next.
Those same diabolical narcissists, sociopaths and psychopathic predators have always been here stalking and killing their prey, throughout human history.
The difference now is that those same predators have taken control of most governments, which makes them even more dangerous than ever before, as is more obvious now than ever before.
The difference is that once upon a time there were a few good men, so they kept to the shadows rather than risking the wrath of justice. But now those good men are gone, and, like the slimy things that can only tolerate damp days, they come into the open.
That's why God said his laws are not mans laws. Focus on me, not be in the ways of the world. It's evilness and I am very afraid it will get even worse, much worse. This is Lite Mode.
I think a concentrated effort should be for speed in reading every word of the Bible right now. Getting the bells rang loud and clear for Jesus Christ is coming. For all to announce hurriedly "get your minds in order and clean out our souls. Repent before you can't".
Why people tolerate all that ..? In my country Spain, we have free healthcare and free medicines, none can even try to take this away from us.We had free Health Care when we had a dictature during 40 years, and afterwards when democracy came it continues the same, none will tolerate to take that away from us never .
And the majority of 'Murricans would scoff at your "socialized" system, Ketina. Americans seem to be just as addicted to the hopelessly corrupt and ineffective system itself, as they are to all the Big Pharma products it produces. Thanks.
I can understand someone being addicted to something that give them pleasure,like sex, alcohol, drugs etc. But I don't understand why anyone can be addicted to something that cause them pain , do you have any answer Donald..?
Yes, that really is the irony of it all, that so many Americans have been brainwashed to believe in the "American dream" and if they don´t make it, it´s their fault for not trying hard enough and then being adamant about "not taking charity". Many simply won´t question the corrupt and utterly unfair system.
What the satanic church have to do with free Health Care..??I just mentioned to talk with a priest to help Donald friend, because there are some charitable priests that like to help people , not the church in general.
They are making overt what has been covert for years. The sadistic side of me says that the only reason doctors were against "mercy killing" was it would prematurely cut off a source of income.
Why? Do you think doctors and nurses kill for the fun of it? Most are not serial killers but obscenely greedy.
All hospitals receive state funding. Most depend on it to stay afloat. Most of the elderly and disabled receive state healthcare as the insurance. Those are the people authoritarian regimes want culled. Hospitals get paid by the state for following state guidelines of standard care.
The government pays doctors and nurses regardless of what happens. At any rate, these professionals simply don't care if their patients live or die. Our care is already mostly socialized. Turning medicine 100% government based instead of 95% won't solve the heartlessness of the professionals. Especially if the state is paying the hospital to administer lethal treatments. In case you didn't notice over the past 4 years, a lot of government officials and their experts despise human life.
Hey man keep paying taxes ,and keep paying hospital bills and medicines. I've see many people in bankrupt because medical bill when I was living in the States, it's really outrageous to be paying taxes and not being taken care. Of course hospitals are not perfect and people die from medical malpractice, that happens everywhere, the system is not perfect, but people's rights to have free access to medical care is paramount. I can't imagine living without free healthcare,in Spain we have it forever, during 40 years of dictature and after with democracy .
Before there was Big Pharma, we had natural therapy . People were trained in natural cures. Any (joke) health system now days, regardless if socialized or private funded, is Big Pharma. Pharmakia. Evil and deceptive. The world will never return back to natural therapy. I would never think free as free. I am glad you do well with it.
"Free healthcare" crippled me. Because it was free and I couldn't earn enough to pay for help getting off the cocktail of addictive drugs they prescribed, I had to do my own research. To this day, I avoid doctors despite not having to pay.
Yep. Free healthcare exists for many Americans. And it only makes us sicker.
That works... We have them here in N. FL. interestingly. One of my patients has had multiple encounters that seem all too real... Not sure what to make of it all.
The hearts of men have failed them. There is very little love or concern for their fellow man. It's all about money now. Money, money, money. Money and worthless shit (things). It's a rotten and ruined world.
The more I find out about doctors and the medical system, the lower my opinion is. They can't diagnose the simplest things. They look at you like you're a crazy person when you tell them you fast to lose weight.
The alternative information sphere (podcasters, bloggers, writers) have all been for years discovering things are opposite to what the medical establishment says. It's like two different realities. Sportsmen and MMA fighters do one thing, doctors the other.
And that was all before Covid.
Basically they should be considered a cynical cartel with malicious intent, the way Hollywood and Washington D.C. are. And as much at the top (Big Pharma) as at the bottom (doctors and nurses).
As usual we see misaligned incentives. If a sector profits from suffering, it tends to perpetuate it.
Excellent example of modern medicine here in Amerika, Inc.! If anything, it actually understates the problem, as every institution in this failed state is corrupt and irreparable... We need to cut our losses - pray for a major fire to hit inside the beltway of DC like is now in LA or hit Laihana...
Is it any wonder that Luigi M. has been declared a folk hero in our corporate paradise?
Here in FL where we ban books while avoiding the word "gay", one poor FL lady - frustrated by her treatment by the FL Blues (not a band or a professional team, but our local "not-for-profit" insurance carrier) had this happen:
Yes, it has almost become illegal to protest, TnDoc. And for a guy whose podcast and Substack are called "I Protest," that's a bitter pill to swallow. Look at Elon's crackdown on "negativity." Everyone with any power is a varying degree of tyrant. Thanks!
I appreciate the article and thank you for letting us know about Chris. I feel like I know him well through our community and am sad about his plight. I know that many readers on your blog are in similar straits so I thank you for your compassion. The paypal info did not work for me but thanks to Robin I was able to donate through Zelle. God bless you and your readers.
Wow. Compassionate care in medicine has been destroyed and even those work in the field have become numb to pain of other human beings. I agree: saw it first hand in my sister's care and also personally as well just in time for me to actually possibly need health care as a senior "citizen" by age definition. The callousness and cavalier attitude to "fellow" human beings is palpable. I am have worked in three hospitals back in the Good Old days.. and i can't say when this began. I am really sorry for your losses. As a Christian I find your experience compelling and scary.
I would amend that somewhat. Years ago they did a good job at pretending to administer compassionate care, all the while raiding medicaide, insurance plans, and the coffers of donors. Now, they do not even pretend. The good doctors disappeared way back in the 1920's. The good nurses persisted into the mid 1970's, and then they disappeared as well.
Thank you, Robin. I just sent a donation to Chris. My bank put me through the usual long-winded bs to sign up for Zelle (bring back the witch's broom) but I did get a confirmation email that the amount was sent.
Dear Donald, I'm very sorry about your friend Chris, in USA the medical system and social services are inhuman, that's why I came back to my country Spain, where we have free health care, and free medication .
Why people there tolerate such an inhuman system...?? They wouldn't do that here, everyone will be out on the streets fighting for our rights, first of all doctors and nurses.
In this cases like Chris, God is the main provider of help, so he should be praying a lot and all his friends do the same, find some good priest to help him, God never fails I assure you.
I recommend you this video, it's scary but it's the truth over there:
I will pass on your kind thoughts to Chris, Ketina. You'll certainly never get me to defend our Medical Industrial Complex. For all I know, voodoo is better. Thanks.
It wasn't my intention Donald, for you to defend the criminal medical American complex. I just don't understand why in the States people never had free healthcare. Not only in Spain we have free healthcare, but also in Canada, Scandinavian countries etc .I prefer Holistic medicine which I'm a practitioner, but sometimes you need a doctor or hospital care ,and it should be free. That's all , you get it ?
It sure is interesting, isn´t it that America is portraying herself as this free democracy, the greatest country on earth that every other country should model itself upon.
But once you take a closer look something else intirely comes to the surface.......
I really can't understand how Americans didn't demand ever,to have free Health Care which is a government responsability , to use tax money to care about the people.
We can't trust our government to do anything responsibly. That's why we don't want them doing health care. We'd be paying even more for less. By the way, it's NOT FREE healthcare, you do pay for it. Look what they've already done to the world with the coof. I don't want them doing any more.
Great article DJ! You can have the modern medical world. I’ll rely on our Great Physician for any medical needs from here on out(which I believe Jesus is coming soon!) You have given everyone the reality of America 2025. Fits right into 2 Timothy 3 ……just as Scripture says it will be like in the end. First thing Jesus said regarding the end times was for us not to be deceived…..which means there will be ALOT of deception; and boy is there! We can just look at DJT and how the masses are deceived; not only here, but around the world. Thanks for the “tell it like it is” attitude you have. I’m sure Chris is proud to have and call you friend, and I would too if I was in his shoes! Peace be with you, Brad Keefer Sr
Absolutely, Jesus is at the very door...and yes The Great Physician is the only answer. I had an event at age eight, that left me with zero trust of the medical establishment and all "physicians". As soon as I was an adult I was no longer forced to use their services. Those with perfect faith, will not give in to fear. I survived Yellow Fever on my own, when I had a 40% chance of survival even if I had been in a hospital. I contracted Yellow Fever from a vaccine. The only two YF vaccines both contain a live virus. I know, I know... I was a fool to get the YF vaccine. In 1999 I had some money, for the first time in my life. I had a feeling of desperation, that I had to see the places in the world on my bucket list, because I knew the day was coming when regular folk would not be allowed to travel unless they agreed to certain documents, embedded chips, etc. I remember on the drive to the county health department (the only place to get YF) I felt a terrible sense of dread, as if I was making a horrible mistake. Anyway, it was all for nothing. I was never asked for proof. I should have made a fake card...it certainly would have fooled the dim bulbs working the customs table at Zanzibar airport.
Where were you headed? I regret to say I fell for lies in a Lonely Planet guide book that said I would not be allowed onto the plane to Zanzibar at the Nairobi Airport without a Yellow Fever Vaccine Card. All the travel guides I've read are more likely to be wrong than right.
over a few years, Kenya, Rhodesia, Mozambique (got the visa didn’t go), South Africa, Botswana. I remember well the Lonely Planet guides. I thought for Central and South America they were pretty good.
Oh, so do you think all of this has been going on for 2000 years? Open your eyes now before it is too late. Really 'see' what is here. This is most definately not from 2000 years ago.
My father had a brain tumor, a benign brain tumor. He went in to have the tumor removed. He was assured by the surgeon that the surgery is a standard procedure and has been done successfully thousands of times. The tumor removal was divided into two separate procedures. The first was to enter an artery in the groin and then travel to the brain and inflate a small balloon to cut off the blood supply to the tumor. Both my mother and I had an ill feeling about this procedure. The second was to enter the skull through the base of the skull at the base of the neck and remove the tumor in pieces. Easy peasy the surgeon reassured my mother. My Dad wen in for the first procedure. Into the artery they went, up through his neck and to the tumor. They inflated the balloon. Blood supply cut off. However, instead of cutting off the blood supply like it was supposed to, the tumor began to hemmorage (sp?) and ended up causing my father a massive stroke that destroyed his brain, left him a vegetable for two weeks until my mother decided to turn off the machines. The surgeon and the hospital still sent a bill to my mother's insurance for $65,000.00. My mom paid $65K for those fuckers to kill my Dad. Why weren't they prepared with a place for the blood to go in the case of bleeding at the tumor.
My Mom refused to sue the doctor and the hospital, not having the energy to fight. That was 20 years ago. She mourns him to this day and so do I.
My heart goes out to Chris. I wish there was more I could do for him.
Cankerpuss, I'm so sorry to hear such a sad story. However, it all too frighteningly common. And most people, including all my family members, are just as reluctant to sue as your mother was. Thank you for sharing such a heartbreaking story.
In the American medical system, in any medical system, the patient must have control of his treatment. This requires using Google to get up to speed with the condition as soon as possible in order to make informed decisions. The consumer cannot rely the system to make correct decisions. And a second opinion from within the system is utterly worthless. It's your job to control your treatment.
What a horrible story. YOU should have sued, being a son I believe you had legal standing. Lawsuits are the only thing these ghouls fear...and they didn't even fear those when they had the mandates for death jabs. Now they are paying huge sums to settle lawsuits. There are many herbs, like graviola, that would have shrunk that tumor away. Since the scamdemic, many folks have learned that by buying simple livestock antiparasitics online (ivermectin and fenbendazole) they can get rid of tumors without a paid assassin. It's usually done by internet-savvy children of the sick person, doing the research online, and ordering the product online (often from a foreign country). The hard part is getting their stubborn relative to let go of their naive and misplaced worship of the medical system. The vast majority of people will defend their brainwashing until their death at the hands of some doctor. The scamdemic was the Darwin Awards on steroids.
Something very similar happened to my uncle at the VA. His doctor talked him into elective surgery to get a stent in his kidney. He bled to death on the operating table.
This is a horror story, writ real. I'm so sorry to read of Chris's account.
Personally, when I had to go to the emergency room in Austin, TX, due to extreme stomach pain, I was diagnosed quickly, operated on swiftly and had my appendix removed just before it burst. The doctor and all help in the E/R was exemplary.
After I got out, however, it was madness. The discharge sent me to a pharmacy that was closed, then said they couldn't transfer my prescriptions to another one, the doctor would have to do it, but they said he went home and they couldn't find him (later, at my follow up, I discovered this was wrong or a lie; he was on call all night inside the hospital). They made me sit around for two hours right after getting out of an operation while they allegedly tried to track him down but I guess did not.
I bet the state and city have a lot to do with treatment.
Sounds like you experienced both the best and worst, Tom. It's a needlessly confusing bureaucracy, full of jaded and uncaring "providers." The unnecessary insurance middleman has a lot to do with it. Thanks for sharing!
What you've reported seems too nightmarish to believe. I'm not doubting you. I simply can barely fathom all these so-called "services" failing so catastrophically and in such a mean and neglectful way. I've fortunately had so little to do with these systems personally that I can't compare experiences.
For nearly 25 years I have been the guardian and advocate for both my disabled brother (now deceased) and sister, both of whom received extensive social services in terms of assistance and medical care. They were/have been on SSDI since childhood, and after our mother died, under state (Oklahoma)provided services. Those services haven't been perfect, but they have been adequate and for the most part compassionate.
I think major metropolitan areas are more inclined to this kind of crap in all the service institutions.
You've been doing God's work, Humdeedee. It does seem impossible to believe. I can vouch for the fact that the people I spoke with associated with BMC were especially disinterested. SSDI and similar benefits usually work well once someone gets them. The problem is navigating the leviathan to "qualify." Thanks!
Hi Humdeedee- I am hear to tell you I witnessed everything Don said, it is TRUE. I have been an advocate for my parents for years, I have seen some terrible things, but what I have seen with Chris, first hand, would make a normal human being sick!
Right off BMC webpage, “ Award-winning clinical care for everyone
Our expert clinicians and staff at Boston Medical Center are dedicated to providing comprehensive care with compassion, empowering our patients and our community to thrive.” I will call them and ask why Chris got none of that especially when they advertise that good stuff is given in their award-winning facility.
That he was discharged with nothing is reprehensible and probably illegal. I also live in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts, and this THE worst medical “care” story I’ve ever heard. Post Covid. Don’t cringe, politicians in this corrupt utopia wield a lot of power, and maybe, just maybe, the rep from his district can help. Just a thought. There are usually staff that deal with social security, Medicaid, and the like. I don’t know how old Chris is, but the local councils on aging tend to be very helpful and resourceful with social workers and available programs for help. BMC, because of its location, absolutely has social workers on staff that know how to help people apply for Medicaid and get their bills paid for, and they must also have a fund that does that too. I’m just spitballing places that may help until he can leave, if that’s what he wants. Also, is Chris a veteran? That status can be a game changer. Also, maybe Chris needs to file suit for medical negligence and violations against his patient rights (https://www.mass.gov/info-details/mass-general-laws-c111-ss-70e). All these things take energy, and I understand he probably doesn’t have it right now. As far as his criminal charges, I’m not sure what happened there, and I wish I had someone he could call for that. In the meantime, I’ll PayPal some $ and call BMC.
That is very kind of you, Maria. Several of us are doing what we can to help Chris remotely. Ultimately, he will need to become more proactive himself. This system is a real leviathan, and you have to fight extremely hard for yourself. Thanks!
The system is a monster. Except if you’re an illegal alien in Maura Healey’s Massachusetts.
All hospital’s have administrators and general counsel. Both loathe bad publicity and outcry from the public. If enough people call and write Boston Medical Center how and why Chris got treated so badly in their award-winning facility, they’ll have to respond.
I’m a big believer in throwing mission statements in leviathan’s face. Here, eat this, your own words. Chris should have had a discharge plan, the social workers should’ve helped him with Medicaid if he didn’t have it already, and there should’ve been some safety net in place. Like a visiting nurse? Damn, this is wrong. Feral cats get treated better.
In 1964, Barry Goldwater and the AMA said that LBJ's Medicare and Medicaid would lead inevitably to a government takeover of the American medical system, which was entirely private in 1964. He was right. Today the FDA/ NIH/CDC/Big Pharma/massive corporate healthcare provider leviathans run the system for their benefit and not ours. The AMA fought against Medicare in 1964. Today they would kill to preserve it. Nobody kills the Leviathan.
I don’t know how to help Chris Graves other than prayer. However with hospital kicking him out it probably saved his life. That treatment was horrible so I’m not excusing it. But as you know my husband was killed the same way as your brother with hospital and Covid protocol. Fortunately I’m a healthy 80 year old and I stay away from drug pushers in white lab coats because they will kill you. Every thing Chris experienced with the medical and legal system is true and unfortunately experienced by many many others. All I can say is avoid “Drs” and hospitals at all costs if you want to stay alive. 🙏 for Chris to heal.
I ‘m moved Don , Thank you for looking out for the small man. I’ve never put A lot of stock in the so called “ experts” be it doctors , politicians,Zionist preachers, athletes , celebrities . If you want honesty you talk to the janitors , maids , house cleaners , auto mechanics ….the small people have the answers , intelligence and life experience .
If you want honesty are you going to talk to a Mossad agent or a janitor, I’ll take the janitor every time.
I appreciate hearing that, Brad. I keep getting drawn towards the little guy, the average person. It's why I continue to be drawn to Huey Long. Thanks!
Sadly, trauma care is the only area where modern medicine actually helps. But caring has long disappeared from the medical community. Back in the day, people went to medical school because they had an innate want to help people, they were compassionate and wanted to serve. Now the only people who can afford medical school, other then minorities, are doctor's and lawyer's sons. People go into medicine now because it's a good, respected, high paying job .... not a calling. The worst problem is confusing medical care with health care- they are completely opposed. People whom take the most medicine aren't the healthiest, they actually are the sickest. Look at the Big Pharma ads:
Paid Actor: "My wife was annoyed with me, but since taking "Phartstoppa" our relationship has been rekindled.
Narrator: "Phartstoppa" for chronic bowel gas.
Tell you doctor if you have or had liver disease, anxiety, loose stools or are allergic to Phartstoppa or it's ingredients.
Phartstoppa may cause paralysis, blindness, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, impotence and increased risk of infection, potential increase in bowel gas production and in rare cases, liver disease and sudden death......"
If an aspirin a day was good for you, God would have made aspirin trees.
God does the healing, the doctor send the bills ....................
Very good summary of the dangers associated with our siloed medical administration system. It is not health care broadly speaking, but medical administration. See one specialist, get this, see another, get that. They never talk to one another. One recent personal example. My daughter was having terrible digestive issues. Vomiting spontaneously, cramping and missing all kinds of events like work and school. She finally saw my NP whom I trust and is the only professional to take the time and speak with me about my holistic health, and she immediately discovered competing side effect between two meds my daughter had been prescribed by different doctors. She was aghast as they are quite dangerous when combined. She stopped taking them and has been great ever since. I have a similar story with a doctor putting me on iron supplements prior to knee surgery. I had undiagnosed hemochromatosis and nearly died from the iron overload. Liver and heart swelled to danger levels. No one knew what was wrong with me. I went to the Mayo clinic and was literally saved by an arthritis Doctor who ran a simple ferratin check. I could go on but you and your readers all have many similar examples and we desperately need change. This is exactly why I am so hopeful RFK Jr is as impactful as promised. Also consider reading the Substack by a Midwestern Doctor, The forgotten side of medicine. He introduced me to DMSO which is making an amazing difference in my health. Worth the time. Keep up the good work. It matters to many of us in this twisted, broken world we call home. Thank you.

The Civil Rights Lawyer is One Dimensional. He berates the cops which I totally agree with, but he acts as though the other parts of the system- the courts in particular- will weed out the bad cops if only activism increases. Nothing could be further from the truth, but of course he is not going to go there. And of course, donate, donate, donate to his organizations. So, while he does have good material, I suspect he is ultimately a shill.
Some/many/most hospitals have a charity write off option for uninsured patients who cannot pay the hospital bill. It's a simple form to fill out, and I was able to get a $35K hospital bill written off. The write offs are tax deductions for the hospital, so they don't mind doing them. It is no loss for them.
It is a little known secret that I found out about that works.
Helpful info! Thank you. What exactly does one ask for? A "charity write-off" form?
That's what the hospital I was in called it, but other hospitals may call it something else. It's basically declaring your inability to pay the bill, and that you have no medical insurance.
It's a form you get from the billing department of the hospital.
Fill it out and submit it, then they have to approve it, which it seems they do in most cases.
If the bill is a smaller amount of a few thousand, they sometimes discount it 50-70% since their markup is usually the same 50-70%.
If it's a larger amount like mine was, they already assume you won't be able to pay it, so it's better for them to just write off the full amount than send it to collections for pennies on the dollar.
Their ER was run by another company, so I got a separate bill from that company for the ER services. The hospital can't write that off, but that company can usually discount their ER bill rather than get nothing.
I don't know if all hospitals do this, but I would think they would.
I also suspect that they get some compensation from the government for their write offs too.
Hope it helps anyone in that situation.
They use people as guinea pigs. So its a "luck of the draw", if you will, if you can stay out of clutches of their dirty filthy hands. We're back in the times of the Salem Witch Trials, but about 1000 times worse.
What is happening now has absolutely no precedent in history. Evil disguises itself as good. Diabolical Narcissists are running everything, yet the sheeple continue to pretend these are the good guys.
More humans on the planet, more evil, IMO. We know they are not the good guys, and honestly, I think most people do. But are so afraid to speak against them. Not me. I don't fool myself because you cannot fool God.
A lot of dangerous people are not sociopaths on par with Bill Gates, Elon Musk or Klaus Schwab. They are just cold and indifferent to the suffering of those around them. They don't plot to hurt others or actively delight in destroying lives.
They just follow orders for the paycheck. It's not their fault if standard care doesn't help. They won't be held accountable by those they work for.
These people enable what is going on. It wouldn't work without their help.
Not sheeple so much as machines. Heartless, remorseless, indifferent. The same sort that broadcast their "empathy" on SM every day.
The world has lost it's soul. This is what comes from it.
As this evil becomes more exposed and obvious, people are more responsible. My mother always said that the year 2020 gave us 20/20 vision concerning the geopolitical reality. The Plandemic did clearly revealed the conspirational nature of the international world and transnational corporations. But at this time many people simply do not want to admit that they were fooled. Even a lot of good people were surprised at the breadth and depth of the conspiracy, and now they do not want to admit the obvious.
I am done with those who think some sort of political or even military solution is going to solve this crisis of humanity. We are in the midst of the Great Apostasy foretold by St Paul, and, as he also foretold, charity has grown cold.
People at this point simply do not want to reform their lives and embrace the Christian ideal, which includes chastity, honesty, humility, perserverence, and submission to Truth. They prefer rather all the trinkets and entertainments that the Satanic Pederasts have to offer, and they are going to pay dearly, in this life and in the next.
God is not mocked.
Those same diabolical narcissists, sociopaths and psychopathic predators have always been here stalking and killing their prey, throughout human history.
The difference now is that those same predators have taken control of most governments, which makes them even more dangerous than ever before, as is more obvious now than ever before.
The difference is that once upon a time there were a few good men, so they kept to the shadows rather than risking the wrath of justice. But now those good men are gone, and, like the slimy things that can only tolerate damp days, they come into the open.
That's why God said his laws are not mans laws. Focus on me, not be in the ways of the world. It's evilness and I am very afraid it will get even worse, much worse. This is Lite Mode.
It says allllllll of this in the Bible.
Yes, especially in the 12th Chapter of Daniel and the 13th Chapter of the Apocalypse.
I think a concentrated effort should be for speed in reading every word of the Bible right now. Getting the bells rang loud and clear for Jesus Christ is coming. For all to announce hurriedly "get your minds in order and clean out our souls. Repent before you can't".
Thanks for your interaction.
Have you studied Our Lady of Fatima? She had much to say concerning the current state of the World.
In the Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
A well-oiled tree chipper.
Why people tolerate all that ..? In my country Spain, we have free healthcare and free medicines, none can even try to take this away from us.We had free Health Care when we had a dictature during 40 years, and afterwards when democracy came it continues the same, none will tolerate to take that away from us never .
And the majority of 'Murricans would scoff at your "socialized" system, Ketina. Americans seem to be just as addicted to the hopelessly corrupt and ineffective system itself, as they are to all the Big Pharma products it produces. Thanks.
I can understand someone being addicted to something that give them pleasure,like sex, alcohol, drugs etc. But I don't understand why anyone can be addicted to something that cause them pain , do you have any answer Donald..?
Yes, that really is the irony of it all, that so many Americans have been brainwashed to believe in the "American dream" and if they don´t make it, it´s their fault for not trying hard enough and then being adamant about "not taking charity". Many simply won´t question the corrupt and utterly unfair system.
Free Healthcare and free medicines. Imagine that. Socialism on steroids.
The best solution is to have the church and benefactors running things. Then you have accountability.
What the satanic church have to do with free Health Care..??I just mentioned to talk with a priest to help Donald friend, because there are some charitable priests that like to help people , not the church in general.
Yes, the current hierarchy is satanic. No argument there. I was thinking of better times of yore, and hopefully better times to come.
You and Donald are mixing thing in your comments creating confusing
States with fully funded healthcare can order patients be killed and call it an act of mercy.
They are making overt what has been covert for years. The sadistic side of me says that the only reason doctors were against "mercy killing" was it would prematurely cut off a source of income.
They can do it now without state funding.
Why? Do you think doctors and nurses kill for the fun of it? Most are not serial killers but obscenely greedy.
All hospitals receive state funding. Most depend on it to stay afloat. Most of the elderly and disabled receive state healthcare as the insurance. Those are the people authoritarian regimes want culled. Hospitals get paid by the state for following state guidelines of standard care.
Free healthcare can still kill people.
It's not about lack of government funds.
The government pays doctors and nurses regardless of what happens. At any rate, these professionals simply don't care if their patients live or die. Our care is already mostly socialized. Turning medicine 100% government based instead of 95% won't solve the heartlessness of the professionals. Especially if the state is paying the hospital to administer lethal treatments. In case you didn't notice over the past 4 years, a lot of government officials and their experts despise human life.
Hey man keep paying taxes ,and keep paying hospital bills and medicines. I've see many people in bankrupt because medical bill when I was living in the States, it's really outrageous to be paying taxes and not being taken care. Of course hospitals are not perfect and people die from medical malpractice, that happens everywhere, the system is not perfect, but people's rights to have free access to medical care is paramount. I can't imagine living without free healthcare,in Spain we have it forever, during 40 years of dictature and after with democracy .
Before there was Big Pharma, we had natural therapy . People were trained in natural cures. Any (joke) health system now days, regardless if socialized or private funded, is Big Pharma. Pharmakia. Evil and deceptive. The world will never return back to natural therapy. I would never think free as free. I am glad you do well with it.
"Free healthcare" crippled me. Because it was free and I couldn't earn enough to pay for help getting off the cocktail of addictive drugs they prescribed, I had to do my own research. To this day, I avoid doctors despite not having to pay.
Yep. Free healthcare exists for many Americans. And it only makes us sicker.
I love the movie "Fargo". It gave me ideas. Just saying.
It is just so messy... I still favor the old tried and true Madame Guillotine... Neat and quick and the blood is somewhat contained...
Or dump them in the woods and let the Sasquatch deal with it.
That works... We have them here in N. FL. interestingly. One of my patients has had multiple encounters that seem all too real... Not sure what to make of it all.
The hearts of men have failed them. There is very little love or concern for their fellow man. It's all about money now. Money, money, money. Money and worthless shit (things). It's a rotten and ruined world.
Ain't that the Truth. Time for Our Lord Jesus Christ to return and take out the garbage.
None seem aware how worthless that money they sold out their fellow man for will soon become.
The more I find out about doctors and the medical system, the lower my opinion is. They can't diagnose the simplest things. They look at you like you're a crazy person when you tell them you fast to lose weight.
The alternative information sphere (podcasters, bloggers, writers) have all been for years discovering things are opposite to what the medical establishment says. It's like two different realities. Sportsmen and MMA fighters do one thing, doctors the other.
And that was all before Covid.
Basically they should be considered a cynical cartel with malicious intent, the way Hollywood and Washington D.C. are. And as much at the top (Big Pharma) as at the bottom (doctors and nurses).
As usual we see misaligned incentives. If a sector profits from suffering, it tends to perpetuate it.
Great analysis, Konrad!
Excellent example of modern medicine here in Amerika, Inc.! If anything, it actually understates the problem, as every institution in this failed state is corrupt and irreparable... We need to cut our losses - pray for a major fire to hit inside the beltway of DC like is now in LA or hit Laihana...
Is it any wonder that Luigi M. has been declared a folk hero in our corporate paradise?
Here in FL where we ban books while avoiding the word "gay", one poor FL lady - frustrated by her treatment by the FL Blues (not a band or a professional team, but our local "not-for-profit" insurance carrier) had this happen:
https://nypost.com/2024/12/12/us-news/florida-mom-arrested-for-saying-delay-deny-depose-on-call-with-bluecross-blueshield/
She hit the trifecta just like Chris! Medical, Justice and Police sociopaths all at once...
One can no longer even protest maltreatment...
"You will take your abuse and be quiet about it, peasant!"
Yes, it has almost become illegal to protest, TnDoc. And for a guy whose podcast and Substack are called "I Protest," that's a bitter pill to swallow. Look at Elon's crackdown on "negativity." Everyone with any power is a varying degree of tyrant. Thanks!
Proud of you, Don! Keep up the fight...
I appreciate the article and thank you for letting us know about Chris. I feel like I know him well through our community and am sad about his plight. I know that many readers on your blog are in similar straits so I thank you for your compassion. The paypal info did not work for me but thanks to Robin I was able to donate through Zelle. God bless you and your readers.
I like that, Chris did hit the trifecta;
Medical, Judicial, and Police.
Wow. Compassionate care in medicine has been destroyed and even those work in the field have become numb to pain of other human beings. I agree: saw it first hand in my sister's care and also personally as well just in time for me to actually possibly need health care as a senior "citizen" by age definition. The callousness and cavalier attitude to "fellow" human beings is palpable. I am have worked in three hospitals back in the Good Old days.. and i can't say when this began. I am really sorry for your losses. As a Christian I find your experience compelling and scary.
I think our experiences are the norm, Science. The ones that speak highly of this system are in the minority. Thanks .
I would amend that somewhat. Years ago they did a good job at pretending to administer compassionate care, all the while raiding medicaide, insurance plans, and the coffers of donors. Now, they do not even pretend. The good doctors disappeared way back in the 1920's. The good nurses persisted into the mid 1970's, and then they disappeared as well.
I noticed a change in nursing when they switched from hospital training to University degree training.
You got that right.
Absolutely correct.
Thanks for the support.
Is there another way to donate to Chris? I don't have a PayPal account.
Someone else asked for his address, to send him a check. The address is: 9 Valley Forge Road, Taunton, MA 02780. Thanks!
Thanks, will send a small donation. It's been a rough couple months here.
My son totaled our car, my wife's car broke down, wife got shingles $800 ER bill, and to top it all off, Santa sent us
a $2,000 bill for Christmas presents. Things really have changed.
Yes, there are 3 ways to donate. Let me get all the correct info and get back to you shortly! Thank you
Thanks, Robin!
Hi Grissle- Chris has Pay Pal, info in Dons article.
Cash App- waiting to get confirmation on this account, but I think it is- $SirhcSevarg
Zelle- kurtstaley1967@gmail.com
Do any of these work for you? If not, what can you use?
Thank you, Robin. I just sent a donation to Chris. My bank put me through the usual long-winded bs to sign up for Zelle (bring back the witch's broom) but I did get a confirmation email that the amount was sent.
Thank you, Kris!
Hi Robin.
Unfortunately those options seem to be open only to residents of the USA of which I am not.
G
just confirmed, the address for Chris' Cash App is correct.
Dear Donald, I'm very sorry about your friend Chris, in USA the medical system and social services are inhuman, that's why I came back to my country Spain, where we have free health care, and free medication .
Why people there tolerate such an inhuman system...?? They wouldn't do that here, everyone will be out on the streets fighting for our rights, first of all doctors and nurses.
In this cases like Chris, God is the main provider of help, so he should be praying a lot and all his friends do the same, find some good priest to help him, God never fails I assure you.
I recommend you this video, it's scary but it's the truth over there:
https://youtu.be/NO1rvVqA5v0?si=abOiHvHfd6e6_tHk
I Will pray for Chris too.
Many blessings
I will pass on your kind thoughts to Chris, Ketina. You'll certainly never get me to defend our Medical Industrial Complex. For all I know, voodoo is better. Thanks.
It wasn't my intention Donald, for you to defend the criminal medical American complex. I just don't understand why in the States people never had free healthcare. Not only in Spain we have free healthcare, but also in Canada, Scandinavian countries etc .I prefer Holistic medicine which I'm a practitioner, but sometimes you need a doctor or hospital care ,and it should be free. That's all , you get it ?
It sure is interesting, isn´t it that America is portraying herself as this free democracy, the greatest country on earth that every other country should model itself upon.
But once you take a closer look something else intirely comes to the surface.......
I really can't understand how Americans didn't demand ever,to have free Health Care which is a government responsability , to use tax money to care about the people.
I obviously agree with you, Ketina. Thanks.
We can't trust our government to do anything responsibly. That's why we don't want them doing health care. We'd be paying even more for less. By the way, it's NOT FREE healthcare, you do pay for it. Look what they've already done to the world with the coof. I don't want them doing any more.
Great article DJ! You can have the modern medical world. I’ll rely on our Great Physician for any medical needs from here on out(which I believe Jesus is coming soon!) You have given everyone the reality of America 2025. Fits right into 2 Timothy 3 ……just as Scripture says it will be like in the end. First thing Jesus said regarding the end times was for us not to be deceived…..which means there will be ALOT of deception; and boy is there! We can just look at DJT and how the masses are deceived; not only here, but around the world. Thanks for the “tell it like it is” attitude you have. I’m sure Chris is proud to have and call you friend, and I would too if I was in his shoes! Peace be with you, Brad Keefer Sr
Thanks, Brad!
Absolutely, Jesus is at the very door...and yes The Great Physician is the only answer. I had an event at age eight, that left me with zero trust of the medical establishment and all "physicians". As soon as I was an adult I was no longer forced to use their services. Those with perfect faith, will not give in to fear. I survived Yellow Fever on my own, when I had a 40% chance of survival even if I had been in a hospital. I contracted Yellow Fever from a vaccine. The only two YF vaccines both contain a live virus. I know, I know... I was a fool to get the YF vaccine. In 1999 I had some money, for the first time in my life. I had a feeling of desperation, that I had to see the places in the world on my bucket list, because I knew the day was coming when regular folk would not be allowed to travel unless they agreed to certain documents, embedded chips, etc. I remember on the drive to the county health department (the only place to get YF) I felt a terrible sense of dread, as if I was making a horrible mistake. Anyway, it was all for nothing. I was never asked for proof. I should have made a fake card...it certainly would have fooled the dim bulbs working the customs table at Zanzibar airport.
I was never asked for the yellow fever proof of "vaccination" either. Even though I had it.
Where were you headed? I regret to say I fell for lies in a Lonely Planet guide book that said I would not be allowed onto the plane to Zanzibar at the Nairobi Airport without a Yellow Fever Vaccine Card. All the travel guides I've read are more likely to be wrong than right.
over a few years, Kenya, Rhodesia, Mozambique (got the visa didn’t go), South Africa, Botswana. I remember well the Lonely Planet guides. I thought for Central and South America they were pretty good.
Except "soon" has been nearly 2000 years. Are the Sabbatians right?
Oh, so do you think all of this has been going on for 2000 years? Open your eyes now before it is too late. Really 'see' what is here. This is most definately not from 2000 years ago.
My father had a brain tumor, a benign brain tumor. He went in to have the tumor removed. He was assured by the surgeon that the surgery is a standard procedure and has been done successfully thousands of times. The tumor removal was divided into two separate procedures. The first was to enter an artery in the groin and then travel to the brain and inflate a small balloon to cut off the blood supply to the tumor. Both my mother and I had an ill feeling about this procedure. The second was to enter the skull through the base of the skull at the base of the neck and remove the tumor in pieces. Easy peasy the surgeon reassured my mother. My Dad wen in for the first procedure. Into the artery they went, up through his neck and to the tumor. They inflated the balloon. Blood supply cut off. However, instead of cutting off the blood supply like it was supposed to, the tumor began to hemmorage (sp?) and ended up causing my father a massive stroke that destroyed his brain, left him a vegetable for two weeks until my mother decided to turn off the machines. The surgeon and the hospital still sent a bill to my mother's insurance for $65,000.00. My mom paid $65K for those fuckers to kill my Dad. Why weren't they prepared with a place for the blood to go in the case of bleeding at the tumor.
My Mom refused to sue the doctor and the hospital, not having the energy to fight. That was 20 years ago. She mourns him to this day and so do I.
My heart goes out to Chris. I wish there was more I could do for him.
Cankerpuss, I'm so sorry to hear such a sad story. However, it all too frighteningly common. And most people, including all my family members, are just as reluctant to sue as your mother was. Thank you for sharing such a heartbreaking story.
In the American medical system, in any medical system, the patient must have control of his treatment. This requires using Google to get up to speed with the condition as soon as possible in order to make informed decisions. The consumer cannot rely the system to make correct decisions. And a second opinion from within the system is utterly worthless. It's your job to control your treatment.
What a horrible story. YOU should have sued, being a son I believe you had legal standing. Lawsuits are the only thing these ghouls fear...and they didn't even fear those when they had the mandates for death jabs. Now they are paying huge sums to settle lawsuits. There are many herbs, like graviola, that would have shrunk that tumor away. Since the scamdemic, many folks have learned that by buying simple livestock antiparasitics online (ivermectin and fenbendazole) they can get rid of tumors without a paid assassin. It's usually done by internet-savvy children of the sick person, doing the research online, and ordering the product online (often from a foreign country). The hard part is getting their stubborn relative to let go of their naive and misplaced worship of the medical system. The vast majority of people will defend their brainwashing until their death at the hands of some doctor. The scamdemic was the Darwin Awards on steroids.
Something very similar happened to my uncle at the VA. His doctor talked him into elective surgery to get a stent in his kidney. He bled to death on the operating table.
This is a horror story, writ real. I'm so sorry to read of Chris's account.
Personally, when I had to go to the emergency room in Austin, TX, due to extreme stomach pain, I was diagnosed quickly, operated on swiftly and had my appendix removed just before it burst. The doctor and all help in the E/R was exemplary.
After I got out, however, it was madness. The discharge sent me to a pharmacy that was closed, then said they couldn't transfer my prescriptions to another one, the doctor would have to do it, but they said he went home and they couldn't find him (later, at my follow up, I discovered this was wrong or a lie; he was on call all night inside the hospital). They made me sit around for two hours right after getting out of an operation while they allegedly tried to track him down but I guess did not.
I bet the state and city have a lot to do with treatment.
Sounds like you experienced both the best and worst, Tom. It's a needlessly confusing bureaucracy, full of jaded and uncaring "providers." The unnecessary insurance middleman has a lot to do with it. Thanks for sharing!
What you've reported seems too nightmarish to believe. I'm not doubting you. I simply can barely fathom all these so-called "services" failing so catastrophically and in such a mean and neglectful way. I've fortunately had so little to do with these systems personally that I can't compare experiences.
For nearly 25 years I have been the guardian and advocate for both my disabled brother (now deceased) and sister, both of whom received extensive social services in terms of assistance and medical care. They were/have been on SSDI since childhood, and after our mother died, under state (Oklahoma)provided services. Those services haven't been perfect, but they have been adequate and for the most part compassionate.
I think major metropolitan areas are more inclined to this kind of crap in all the service institutions.
You've been doing God's work, Humdeedee. It does seem impossible to believe. I can vouch for the fact that the people I spoke with associated with BMC were especially disinterested. SSDI and similar benefits usually work well once someone gets them. The problem is navigating the leviathan to "qualify." Thanks!
Hi Humdeedee- I am hear to tell you I witnessed everything Don said, it is TRUE. I have been an advocate for my parents for years, I have seen some terrible things, but what I have seen with Chris, first hand, would make a normal human being sick!
Right off BMC webpage, “ Award-winning clinical care for everyone
Our expert clinicians and staff at Boston Medical Center are dedicated to providing comprehensive care with compassion, empowering our patients and our community to thrive.” I will call them and ask why Chris got none of that especially when they advertise that good stuff is given in their award-winning facility.
That he was discharged with nothing is reprehensible and probably illegal. I also live in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts, and this THE worst medical “care” story I’ve ever heard. Post Covid. Don’t cringe, politicians in this corrupt utopia wield a lot of power, and maybe, just maybe, the rep from his district can help. Just a thought. There are usually staff that deal with social security, Medicaid, and the like. I don’t know how old Chris is, but the local councils on aging tend to be very helpful and resourceful with social workers and available programs for help. BMC, because of its location, absolutely has social workers on staff that know how to help people apply for Medicaid and get their bills paid for, and they must also have a fund that does that too. I’m just spitballing places that may help until he can leave, if that’s what he wants. Also, is Chris a veteran? That status can be a game changer. Also, maybe Chris needs to file suit for medical negligence and violations against his patient rights (https://www.mass.gov/info-details/mass-general-laws-c111-ss-70e). All these things take energy, and I understand he probably doesn’t have it right now. As far as his criminal charges, I’m not sure what happened there, and I wish I had someone he could call for that. In the meantime, I’ll PayPal some $ and call BMC.
That is very kind of you, Maria. Several of us are doing what we can to help Chris remotely. Ultimately, he will need to become more proactive himself. This system is a real leviathan, and you have to fight extremely hard for yourself. Thanks!
The system is a monster. Except if you’re an illegal alien in Maura Healey’s Massachusetts.
All hospital’s have administrators and general counsel. Both loathe bad publicity and outcry from the public. If enough people call and write Boston Medical Center how and why Chris got treated so badly in their award-winning facility, they’ll have to respond.
I’m a big believer in throwing mission statements in leviathan’s face. Here, eat this, your own words. Chris should have had a discharge plan, the social workers should’ve helped him with Medicaid if he didn’t have it already, and there should’ve been some safety net in place. Like a visiting nurse? Damn, this is wrong. Feral cats get treated better.
In 1964, Barry Goldwater and the AMA said that LBJ's Medicare and Medicaid would lead inevitably to a government takeover of the American medical system, which was entirely private in 1964. He was right. Today the FDA/ NIH/CDC/Big Pharma/massive corporate healthcare provider leviathans run the system for their benefit and not ours. The AMA fought against Medicare in 1964. Today they would kill to preserve it. Nobody kills the Leviathan.
I don’t know how to help Chris Graves other than prayer. However with hospital kicking him out it probably saved his life. That treatment was horrible so I’m not excusing it. But as you know my husband was killed the same way as your brother with hospital and Covid protocol. Fortunately I’m a healthy 80 year old and I stay away from drug pushers in white lab coats because they will kill you. Every thing Chris experienced with the medical and legal system is true and unfortunately experienced by many many others. All I can say is avoid “Drs” and hospitals at all costs if you want to stay alive. 🙏 for Chris to heal.
Thanks, Nancy!
I ‘m moved Don , Thank you for looking out for the small man. I’ve never put A lot of stock in the so called “ experts” be it doctors , politicians,Zionist preachers, athletes , celebrities . If you want honesty you talk to the janitors , maids , house cleaners , auto mechanics ….the small people have the answers , intelligence and life experience .
If you want honesty are you going to talk to a Mossad agent or a janitor, I’ll take the janitor every time.
Keep up your noble work DJ
I appreciate hearing that, Brad. I keep getting drawn towards the little guy, the average person. It's why I continue to be drawn to Huey Long. Thanks!
God bless janitors! My best friend is a janitor at a Catholic school. In the past I have been a janitor.
Have you seen the original Kingsmen ,it’s on YouTube now for free with cheesy commercials .
Sadly, trauma care is the only area where modern medicine actually helps. But caring has long disappeared from the medical community. Back in the day, people went to medical school because they had an innate want to help people, they were compassionate and wanted to serve. Now the only people who can afford medical school, other then minorities, are doctor's and lawyer's sons. People go into medicine now because it's a good, respected, high paying job .... not a calling. The worst problem is confusing medical care with health care- they are completely opposed. People whom take the most medicine aren't the healthiest, they actually are the sickest. Look at the Big Pharma ads:
Paid Actor: "My wife was annoyed with me, but since taking "Phartstoppa" our relationship has been rekindled.
Narrator: "Phartstoppa" for chronic bowel gas.
Tell you doctor if you have or had liver disease, anxiety, loose stools or are allergic to Phartstoppa or it's ingredients.
Phartstoppa may cause paralysis, blindness, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, impotence and increased risk of infection, potential increase in bowel gas production and in rare cases, liver disease and sudden death......"
If an aspirin a day was good for you, God would have made aspirin trees.
God does the healing, the doctor send the bills ....................
Great points, Wade. Thanks!
Very good summary of the dangers associated with our siloed medical administration system. It is not health care broadly speaking, but medical administration. See one specialist, get this, see another, get that. They never talk to one another. One recent personal example. My daughter was having terrible digestive issues. Vomiting spontaneously, cramping and missing all kinds of events like work and school. She finally saw my NP whom I trust and is the only professional to take the time and speak with me about my holistic health, and she immediately discovered competing side effect between two meds my daughter had been prescribed by different doctors. She was aghast as they are quite dangerous when combined. She stopped taking them and has been great ever since. I have a similar story with a doctor putting me on iron supplements prior to knee surgery. I had undiagnosed hemochromatosis and nearly died from the iron overload. Liver and heart swelled to danger levels. No one knew what was wrong with me. I went to the Mayo clinic and was literally saved by an arthritis Doctor who ran a simple ferratin check. I could go on but you and your readers all have many similar examples and we desperately need change. This is exactly why I am so hopeful RFK Jr is as impactful as promised. Also consider reading the Substack by a Midwestern Doctor, The forgotten side of medicine. He introduced me to DMSO which is making an amazing difference in my health. Worth the time. Keep up the good work. It matters to many of us in this twisted, broken world we call home. Thank you.
I appreciate you sharing your own experiences, Big. Thanks!
