Medicine has been getting woke for some time now, and is becoming no different from these virtue signaling corporate behemoths like Disney and Facebook.
In 2020, doctors were putting their bodies in front of cars to prevent anti-lockdown protestors from gathering at state capitals for fear these people would kill grandma and kill health care heroes. Then came the Floyd death, and suddenly doctors were gathered en masse in parking lots of hospitals kneeling for BLM and telling us such mind raping statements that “Floyd protests don’t spread coronavirus “ and “white supremacy and racism is a far deadlier pandemic than COVID19 “ so protests are vital. Have a 10,000 person trans Black Lives Matter protest in Brooklyn is fine, but a synagogue service in Brooklyn is a superspreader event, or taking your kids to a Brooklyn park (later padlocked) was an offense warranting arrest. I lost every ounce of respect for the medical establishment at that point. Now I hear medicine is systemically racist and has to be deconstructed from within. Would a bankrupt single mom meth addict from Appalachia get treated better than an Oprah Winfrey? The only color that matters in medicine is green... as in $$$$$.
After the 1/6 riots, CAP sent out a letter decrying the “insurrection” but had nothing to say when the anti Kavanaugh rioters invaded DC buildings, or when cities were being burned to the ground and children murdered by BLM.
I thought medicine was a place to be where science prevailed, respect was earned and you treated all patients as equals, you helped treat but first did no harm. I didn’t think corporate wokeness would infest medicine so thoroughly.
