Where Are the Good Doctors?

Reposted May 15, 2023 by Utopia Silver e-News: Commentary by Sarah Myhill, MBBS- OMNS (April 24, 2023) There is a widely held belief amongst patients that doctors should be solely working for the patient’s personal good health. This is a myth. Many doctors profit every time they order tests or prescribe drugs. And this profit is at the expense of their patient’s best interests. Medicine has become a money machine driven by Big Pharma. What is terrifying now is that those few doctors who are whistle blowing on the medical profession are finding themselves blown away by their medical regulators – the very people who should be standing up for patients’ rights to informed consent, bodily autonomy and medical choice.

Here in UK the rot started during the 1980s when NHS doctors were allowed to run and own their own pharmacies. Such GPs, when treating any child with a cough or cold, often prescribed paracetamol, an antibiotic and a cough suppressant. For the child’s natural immunity this is a physiological disaster, but terrific for the partnership profits. Vaccination became another gravy train. Not only did doctors profit from each vaccine administered but they had targets with bonus payments if 90% of registrants were inoculated. A practice local to me would expel non-conforming patients from their lists in order to achieve the desired percentage, worth several thousand pounds. Now doctors are paid to collect statistics; many patients tell me that a consultation morphs into a gathering of weight, blood pressure and cholesterol data which is irrelevant to the immediate patient concerns.

I worked in the British NHS for twenty years. During this time I received a metaphorical wrist slapping because my prescribing costs were so low. I was using dietary and orthomolecular medicine to reverse high blood pressure, diabetes and fatigue syndromes. My patients wanted to know why they had symptoms and the mechanisms that caused their disease so that they could develop the necessary lifestyle, dietary, nutritional and detoxification regimes to allow the body to heal and repair and restore normal vitality. This meant that in my personal practice of medicine, drugs were increasingly irrelevant. But general practitioners were being judged on the size of their prescribing budget, not patient outcomes. Medical practice and education had been – and continues to be – completely dominated by Big Pharma. Diagnosis had become a tick-box exercise, management reduced to drug company generated algorithms and treatment amounted to symptom-suppressing, pill-popping. Doctors had become glorified pharmacists.
