'By not speaking up as a physician, I enabled others to speak for me, others with far less knowledge, understanding, or commitment to patient care. I regret that most of all. In short, patients died!
troubled souls ... they know what they did was wrong. he justifies it under "i was busy taking care of patients", but the truth is he and many others were scared and did not had the strength to stand up for their patients.
I agree. If, he turned himself into police, and requested to be charged with crimes against humanity and complicit in murder, possible ethics violations, treating with dangerous protocols, etc., testifies against the Rx comapnies and uses their data against them, and has a trial at Nuremburg, I will then forgive him.
Forgiving someone is deeply personal and I reserve it for those that have deeply wronged me or those close to me. If I do not know the person, I generally have no reason to forgive them.
- Forgiving someone does not mean you no longer feel the pain of their offense
-Forgiveness does not mean you are to ignore that wrong or that you deny that a sin was committed.
If laws were broken then they should face that judgement.
Evil greedy politicos I have little use for.
They know they are wrong but do not care. Money and power rule their lives.
Many MDs are overworked and spend a lot of time filling out paperwork, so they have little time for actually thinking. Still no excuse.
Now for MDs in my life. There are Doctors that I no longer go to because I do not trust their judgement.
There are Doctors I do not trust because they make public statements that I find just wrong.
This type of Doctor is usually seeking some political office such as the head of a State Health Department.
Doctors I personally trust:
My urologist - He has been great and never pushed anything on me.
My oncologist = He with my urologist treated my prostate cancer.
Thus far I am cancer free after 5 years.
My Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) - He was forced to take the death shots and told me not to take them in mid-year 2021.
-Doctors I no longer trust.
ex-alergist. He and his office subtlety pushed the death shots on me. I ended that discussion by invoking prior experience and fear of anaphylaxis because of the PEG in the shots.
My cardiologist - He never talks about the death/clot shots, I suspect that he is not allowed by hospital rules which usually means the hospital administration.
He is one of the best in my area and I trust his professional judgement.
With all physicians it is now buyer beware! I feel like I am purchasing a used car.
I have little trust in so called medicine these days.
Inform your self before agreeing to any treatments. You many learn more that way than your Doctor does.
"The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him." Daniel 9:9
“If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared.” Psalm 130:3-4
“Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord’” (Romans 12:19).
“But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Matthew 6:15
James Beck: You think he was that culpable and deep into it? Such as forcing covid (dybbuk) jabs and remdesivir on unwilling people? That sort of perfidy would be required to consign him to Abaddon.
When sinners get saved, no one bangs them on the head. We need to love others like we love ourselves, or we deny Christ. And there is a big difference between saving your job, taking or giving the jab, and killing with Remdesivir. He expressed no such regrets so I hold him accountable only for that which he revealed. And if he regrets doing all the above, and sees the light, I welcome him to "the other side" with open arms. And I pray that he comes back and makes a few comments to show how much he has changed. Because you may have done the same things in the same situation. Just sayin'. We need to be on the same side.
Sure. However, only ICU "physicians" forced remdesivir (Veklury) on people. And while quite a few doctors pressured patients to take covid jabs, even that was nowhere near universal. (Granted, numerous medical practices, esp. hospitals, required jabbing before they'd even let people see a doctor.)
This is all well and good but he's not quite over the target yet, IMHO. And the target is huge. It's an elephant and it's called pharma. The trust we place(d) in docs rested largely in their ability to heal. And they either healed by 'cutting ', ie, surgically removing the offending pathology- or by prescribing it away. Well now that 80% of us have deemed that we don't trust the recommendation of 99% of docs to 'get boosted', I'd say docs had best begin to accept that our blind faith in them is fading into the ether. We are no longer blind and no longer faithful, because it turns out that docs are blind and faithful- to pharma. I suspect I'm not the only one who assumed that when my doc prescribed something, that he had independently vetted it as being safe and effective after hours of due diligence scouring journals, ingredient lists and lists of side effects. That was my blind faith, clearly misplaced. Now I'm suspicious of everything I'm told by my doc because I can't 'unknow' what I now know. And I'm not alone. This is medicine's real crisis and it's why Colleges and governments are desperately imposing controls on what doctors are allowed to say, think and prescribe- because we now distrust them and with that distrust, their power, prestige and control, evaporates. As it should.
Everyone has been complacent, not just doctors. Look at AB 2098, which passed in California. I was on the steps of Sacramento's Capital Building and where was the public? With 15 doctors, lawyers, and a child activist pleading with the Governor, who was in the audience? And How did AB 2098 PASS?
Now it is LAW that on January 1, 2023, no doctor can give informed consent on COVID matters. One-size-fits-all is the only government approach to COVID - what is next? Just wait until it is chemotherapy, or your child's vaccines.
Everyone is culpable. Everyone. We all need to stick together and do our best.
Patients want great care but don’t want to take responsibility for their health. Government is oh so happy to use health care to leverage more power over everybody as they come between clinician and patient.
So right. For example, everyone had a chance to lose weight by exercising at home during the pandemic. So many waited for the end of another long winter, only to have gained 10-15 lbs. Three winters later, many need to lose weight = and reduce their risk of death from heart disease, stroke, and repeat COVID, to name a few..
That was the goal, and many bought into it. Keep people closed in, less exercise, less vitamin D, more eating, more laying around, less socialization. Close down, re-open, close down, re-open. It's a perfect recipe to keep people getting sick. It's ironic because where I am, all of the maskers (3 yrs in now?!) the branch covidians are always overweight, and generally not a little bit.
Agreed, AB2098 is abhorrent and immoral. It’s probably also illegal. I expect (and hope) it will be struck down at the first legal challenge.
I may have not been there on the Capitol steps with you, but I have been relentlessly outspoken on Twitter, tagging Gavin Newsom and senators Pan and Weiner.
Benj! Really? COOL! Tag me @TheRebelPatient on Twitter - I will RETWEET everything - and you'll see my Substack articles there, especially on hospital hostage situations! I even interviewed Josh Guetzkow and Scott Schara - more coming up! Tag me! I'll tag you back!
We need others on Twitter ~ it’s our chance to get others to cross over.

If everyone thought that We the People were hopeless to defend themselves and stand up for what is right, no one would have done a thing. AB 2098 PASSED because the Gov. did not veto it - he signed it into law and it was 100% in his hands. There was no hearing - it was a 5pm deadline to "do nothing", "VETO", or "sign". Gov. Newsom chose to sign. His signed letter was different than what the law stated, as if he didn't know what was written on it. But we know that he knew exactly what he was doing - because he told us exactly what it meant.
Listen to his talk here, and see how "you are next". Maybe if you had seen this prior to AB 2098, you would have stood next to me, or at least held a sign in the audience. You could have even worn glasses and a hat to disguise yourself.
I stood up and opposed "being next". If everyone had stood up, the outcome would have been different. Now it seems we get what we deserved for being silent.
For those of us who stood up, we would do it again. We will keep fighting for you.
We are willing to give everything up. We are willing to stand up for what is right to protect our God-given freedoms. We have no regrets.
Sorry, but I disagree. These bills are like elections. They're shoo-ins. It's already been plotted, planned, and pre-approved. When ypu have a fake"re-branded" flu, with patents for tests and tracking of such a flu 5 years before it ever came to be, this is all scripted and planned. When biden was installed and covid was rolled out, all of the characters were cue'd to start playing their parts. Lock down, deem non-essential, push fake science, traumatize 24 hrs a day with death fear/porn on news, threatrn, manipulate. Well organized attack really with most governments complicit.
Medicine's dirty little secret. Your typical doctor would gladly prescribe cyanide to an entire nursing home for a box of warm donuts and the chance to stare down Bambi--the hot young pharma rep's--cleavage.
A very touching paper by a physician, most of us would love to have as their doctor. That doctor patient relationship, simply no longer exists here in the UK. It was never really that great, now it simply doesn’t exist. Advocacy for a patient, all but gone. I can understand this man’s despair.
While I've never been to the UK, my childhood reading repeatedly mentioned British physicians keeping their patients' imminent demise secret from them. Seems to now afflict the US, too. (Remdesivir "saving" patients from death is but a single example.) Big Pharma is, of course, worse. Insulin-dependency (again, just as an example) is often a bankruptcy, and perhaps death, sentence. Don't even get me started on the (self-)misrepresented Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs).
Dr Kommer, Now that you are retired, I hope you will join others and take up the sword for protecting the Doctor/patient relationship and help build a better health care system. We need it. We all (providers and patients) have become a number, a cost point in the huge machinery of giant medical groups that are more concerned with the bottom line.
If your health allows it, now is the time to use your voice and experience. You have nothing to lose and we have everything to gain. We need to fill the ranks with Providers that truly care about patients and the honorable "practice of medicine". We needed more doctors to speak up the last 2 1/2 years, but they were too afraid to pull on the chain of corporate medicine that is around their necks.
We need a major overhaul of the system, or a new decentralized independent system where the power lies in the doctor/patient relationship. The few that have stood up the last 2 1/2 years have paid dearly for their advocacy. They have been maligned, fired and had their licenses threatened in order to achieve their compliance and the Powers That Were have failed. They have informed and saved millions of lives at great personal risk and they have the support and gratitude of millions.
If other Providers are reading this, NOW is the time to join together and stand up. The profession as you know it is dying and future doctors will be nothing more than "order followers" that will look at approved treatments and write an approved prescription. There will be no art or practice of medicine. We are at a turning point in history and what will you (providers collectively) say 5, 10 years from now? , "I stood up. I gave it all I could", or "....................nothing. I chose a safe, ever shrinking prison. Medicine was different back then"
Thank YOU, Dr. Aranda, for your courage and advocacy 🙏🙏🙏. THANK YOU to every medical provider that is making a stand and telling the truth. There is so much at stake right now. With deepest Gratitude, Support and Appreciation 🙏🙏🙏
Amen! I admire and commend your courage in speaking -up and your message of "Taking Action is Always Now. Sticking together is always RIGHT" is crucial for victory in restoring confidence and trust in our health care system... Taking action is exposing truth and honoring the Hippocratic Oath.... United in Truth, Integrity, Compassion, and Love, Humanity will prevail!
While I appreciate and commend Dr. Kommer on his compassionate insight and reflection on the decline of patient care due to the major failures that have occurred with the evolving health care system in the US over the past 20 years. he did not mention the most egregious elephant in the room and that is the dangerous experimental mRNA injections that continue to be promoted by the FDA, CDC, NIH, AMA and other medical organizations with no informed consent of the potential for serious adverse health effects and fatal injuries.
If this doctor means what he says, the most important work he can do is working to rid the United States of the PREP Act. The Act giving liability immunity to manufacturers of injectable junk during "emergencies" is implicitly criminal. The silence of doctors -- thus far -- on this topic is deafening.
The problem is centralization. It started a couple of decades ago and reached a new predictable height when the Obama administration and congress implemented the Affordable Care Act. Rapidly the large providers (typically the local hospital(s)) took over the delivery of health care. Hospitals and large providers are run by committee. If you can envision the couple of people who know how to steer a committee to their desired result then you can envision where essentially as few as only one person can implement policies. It’s as if one or a very few people have the ability to basically flip a switch and that’s the new operating procedure for everyone. It’s called centralization folks and when history is written the centralization of treatment during the covid fiasco is going to be shown to have resulted in most of the deaths from a severe flu like disease. Good luck future generation(s), your gonna need it.
There's a reason the doctors and nurses are being forced to take this bioweapon too. Most of them will be downsized thanks to screen visits, AI, and robot home care.
The good doctors and nurses who would not get vaccinated were selected out of hospitals so remdesivir and ventilation. And stand at the hospital bedside doing nothing instead of CPR when someone stops breathing after being given sedatives and opioids. Everything will go AI/Robotic. Right now it's murder in hospitals; euthanasia in America is next.
Me too. It is a sad travesty and planned genocide. Another wave of deaths they are funneling for their own needs. Thank you and please let me know if anyone wants an interview before succumbing therebelpatient@substack.com - God bless you.
Live much of the year in Mexico... Am concerned that if I come back to the US for Medicare treatment, they might Vax me against my will. I'm healthy, and med care in Mexico is excellent in my area, so I may never need to return, but.... A triple bypass here in MX could bankrupt me.
Maybe there is still such a thing as a nurse advocate. Maybe you could find one. But I believe they could not leave you alone overnight or anytime. Sad isn’t it .
Interesting, I hadn’t before connected this loss of true patient-centered care to an AI trajectory, but that makes sense. This is so sad. Years ago, I worked on the emerging physician order entry and documentation computer systems, but at a certain point I couldn’t do it anymore. Everything was being reduced to a formula.
I’ve been shocked in recent dealings with the healthcare system on behalf of family members just how bad the system had become. Young primary care physicians we’ve dealt with can’t even interpret basic labs without the help of their AI prompts.
We have to learn to heal ourselves. But that being said, there are still times when people need to interface with the medical system. And it’s sad to see that it has been so degraded.
All I see is a doctor that has regrets about not speaking up. Unfortunately, I can say the same thing for every damn doctor and nurse and hospital administrator out there. NOT one of them STOOD UP and practiced PATIENT ADVOCATE!! You all let the husband die alone without his loving wife alongside of him to say goodbye, to give some comfort. You all withheld this common decency from all of the people. You all killed these people as much as the vaccine has hurt and killed the people, by not saying ENOUGH stop this now!!!. We have to change the protocol, because this is not working, let's try something else. NO, you all followed the narrative and obeyed bad orders and hid your head in the sand. NOW HIDE YOUR HEADS IN SHAME for what YOU ALL DID TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE!!!! Your voice is TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE!
It is never too late to accept someone who crosses over to the other side. We need more doctors to make this transition. And if the public displayed the same support and empathy doctors are required to have for every living human, whether free or jailed, then maybe more doctors would change sides. We need to welcome everyone who (finally) sees the light. Maybe my writing will better explain: https://therebelpatient.substack.com/p/a-note-to-the-vaccinated-with-remorse
As Dr. Kommer states, “Better late than never”. I grew to dislike HMOs starting about 25 years ago, more so as those damned tablets came between me and my “doctor” (or is that more accurately “Big Pharma rep”?). Also, I would dearly love to see legislation upending medical boards to only dealing with actual physician qualifications and not dictating what is or is not an acceptable protocol. That is between the physician and patient, not to be overseen by some bureaucrat that has no knowledge of the patient. Focus only on qualifications of the physician.
With more clarity the history was Rockefeller money used by the fledgling and failing medical association of that time. The man, whose name I forget, that took over that organization decided that focusing on selling drugs that could be patented was the way to go as you could then control the entire healing industry. Thus, the choice was to go after all holistic protocols, Homeopathy in particular as it was so popular, inexpensive and very effective at achieving cure, not just survival which is all the medical industry cares about as that provides repeat and ongoing customers as they never get well. Maybe they lose some symptoms but the drugs cause more disease that very often is worse than the original complaint. What is core and crucial to understanding the history is that the medical industry is no different than any other industry. It was established to market itself, control the market and kill off all competition. Raising money for lobbying and installing industry people on govt agency and policy making bodies and getting them elected to govt decision-making bodies like Congress or State Legislatures. It is a corporate, capitalist model and works in opposition to democratic processes and principles. The public needs educating on this and needs to be disabused of their belief system in an industry that pretends to be about the patient but in fact is all about profit and control and killing the competition which is way more beneficial to our health.
BTW, currently the FDA is again pushing to control/destroy access to homeopathic medicines. People need to make phone calls and send emails to the White House and their Congressional legislators. You can look up the Americans for Homeopathic Choice for information and sample letters that you can send or for speaking points. This is even more critical than the DSHEA regs heavily lobbied by the Pubic in the mid 1990's that gave us the legal right to access natural forms of healing. Understand what we actually have on the law books and how those laws are being destroyed via the Codex Alimentarius agreements that are signed into international treaty agreements--The CAFTA in the US did that to us. Don't want to take too much space here talking about this but important the people learn and act on this information.
Yes - Rockefeller bought up all the medical schools and changed them over to OIL and chemical based drugs that don't cure diseases. They just suppress symptoms while the side effects of the drugs (that no human had ever consumed before the early 1900's) cause more symptoms which have to be suppressed until the average American is on 5 or more drugs which they have to take till they die which will be sooner because of the negative health effects of the drugs which is one reason why U.S. life expectancy has been decreasing for 4 years now. Pharma doesn't want to cure disease they want to addict the patients to drugs that they will have to take until they die.
It is always good for reflection, but we also need accountability.
I worked in health care my whole career. First working for a group of Dr’s offering seven primary services and had approximately 50 Dr’s in this practice. I started out as a file clerk/receptionist and then moved to a keyboard operator ( keying all the Dr’s services per patient, sent these cards to our Provincial Health Authority for payment. I remember back then as a young person, many of these Dr’s acted like they were ‘God’. If we couldn’t find a patient’s file ( which often it was in the Dr’s desk, or in their brief case, or at home), the patient would sit waiting as file clerks were yelled at, some crying because we couldn’t find the file. Sometimes it was misfiled ( not that often). I remember seeing lab reports where it showed a person had cancer, but the wrong person was told they had cancer. Example: there was two Adam Smith’s. No one was held accountable. I then moved on to work in Public Health, becoming a CPA then working for our Provincial Government. ( Now retired).
So during my 35 year career I was able to see the whole picture of our health care system.
Our Health Care Systems worldwide need to be taken down and built back.
Health Care has become political. Dr’s donate to the political party they like to get the health policies they wish, plus the funding they want.
The reason why we have health care is forgotten. It should be all about the patient.
In the airline business they have ‘Cockpit Resource Management’, we need to have that in Health Care.
Dr’s need to pay their staff better and respect them. They could hire Nurse Practitioners. Many of them don’t want to, as that takes away from their net income. They need to hire business people to manage their businesses. They need to have someone in their organization that reviews all new public health mandates and ‘red flags’ issues to Dr’s.
I also remember as a 5 year old child, loosing my baby brother as the Dr’s gave him the wrong blood transfusion.
As a society we need to become our own ‘Dr’s, doing lots of research and holding Dr’s and other Health Care Practitioners accountable. We need to demand that.
We all need to do that with our Government’s ( all parties), our education systems also.
I’m not stating that all Healthcare Professionals , Politicians, Educators are bad. I am saying that many of our ‘systems’ are.
When a good or service becomes a politically allocated good or service it becomes a political issue. Once it’s an issue the correct or good or best method of delivering the good or service is determined by politics and not what is good or best. So every country that implements government controlled health care does and always will end up with health care delivered through political power and not through the market place. The market place would correct, as well as anything could, the poor delivery of health care.
I appreciate this post very much. Some doctors are suffering with the decisions they made because they were told to do so or lose their jobs. I’m a clinician. I see a young doc who cries in my office every session. He pulls himself together before he leaves and thanks me for sitting with him. It’s not right was was done. It’s just not right.
This is exactly why more doctors are retiring, leaving the profession, or committing suicide.
Thank you for your compassion and empathy. I am certain he is doing a lot of good and God has put him in the right place ~ he will be used for a much greater good and the timing will be perfect.
I worked in a hospital twice from September 2020 to present. I became friends with one of the hospitalists in our small rural facility. He had absolutely no power to effect any change except to his growing reputation as a troublemaker. He realized soon that he was there to be the licensed fall-guy if something tragic happens and nothing more. Did he get anything changed? Nope. Admin and his mRNA-loving colleagues removed him from committees, from discussion groups, and the message sent was enough that he removed himself from a facility that needs him very much. A doctor is in a tough spot. Do they speak up and become a target only to lose their license and unable to see any patients? Or do they keep quiet, see all the patients they possibly can, and work within the f'ed up system they had no hand in creating. Once a license is revoked, a doctor is truly worthless to the patients who need him/her. I, for one, will not judge. Will Dr Kommer succeed? I am pessimistic but I applaud that he is now trying to do something.
You are correct on many points. Like the doctor here, he is now in administration, on committee, and in a place to affect change. That’s why he cannot apologize for the elephant in the room.
I absolutely believe this is his way of infiltrating the opposition and doing any possible good.
More so than that, though, I see it as his penance to make up for his sins, guilt, and regrets.
As I understand it Pharma now owns the data from their clinical trials of drugs and vaccines and hardly any of that data is released to doctors and the public so doctors are completely ignorant as to the safety and efficacy of pharma's products. Would appreciate any feedback from anyone having more knowledge about this.
Big pharma has been playing the deceitful money game since the 1950s. Doctors knew and they played along. It’s only since insurance and corporate medicine began that it really began to be HUGE profits at patients expense. My husband is 8O years old and has seen it all happen gradually. In the meantime Covid was the perfect storm to expose a long time of covert dealings against the public at large. Just imagine the tests given to women for X-rays called mammograms. The doctors always insisted women get them all the while they were being told to do this by the manufacturer of the mammogram machines. All in all very few people with genetic predisposition for breast cancer were ever saved by early diagnosis. Doctors know this. But our culture is trained to follow doctors advice and never think for themselves.
which means doctors should not prescribe anything they don't understand. But, they don't give a shit, prescribe away!!! Keep those checks and bonuses rolling in.
Yes, on the one hand, but no on the other hand: none of us ever prescribed ivermectin before- and that is the legitimate reason most doctors were afraid to try it- they have that right, as you state. Many hid in that hole, which is a pretty good hole. End of story. No one can “make” them prescribe.
On the other hand, none of us knew how to prescribe a thing until someone showed us how - learning something new is in our training, after all.
There was no one to teach me how to prescribe ivermectin. I read, I studied and I made it clear to my patients that I (no one) had ever prescribed this before. I wrote an informed consent detailing what I knew, so we had an understanding.
But I’ll tell you that it takes a certain amount of guts to prescribe ivermectin, because of these reasons.
I get why some didn’t have the expertise or experience with new drugs to embark on this adventure.
As an anesthesiologist, my training is drugs that paralyze, sedate, render unconscious, resuscitate, and reanimate. Therefore, I was comfortable. I don’t expect every other doctor to have this level of comfort.
So the best approach would have been for them to refer patients to someone like me. Without a referral, patients found me on FLCCC or Budesonide websites - they did their homework.
Thank God for the very frontline doctors who taught us what to do.
that's some really strange stuff for a doctor to say. Ivermectin is easily found on WHO list of essential medicines, it won a Nobel Prize for its discovery, it has been safely prescribed and used regularly by billions of people around the globe. You don't "know how to prescribe it"?? You do some research which is easily found.
Doctors in US have always had the ability to prescribe medicines "off label" and do it regularly per my understanding. That freedom was taken away from doctors during this asinine clown show and they happily jumped on board. That was done to destroy any alternatives so that the fraudulent EUA could be issued by Fauci and his band of criminals. These doctors also happily jumped on the jabs but knew FAR LESS about these quackcines than they did HCQ and Ivermectin. Both proven and safe medicines for decades.
I just gave you insight from a doctor’s perspective, and you reject it. I ended up treating over 2000 patients, none of whom died - but I shouldn’t have to justify myself to you. I laid out the process and you’re still critical and actually demeaning, so I’m done with this conversation.
wasn't clear to me that you were treating people with ivm, that is great. However, sounds like you are making excuses for all the other doctors who jumped on the pfizer gravy train. They deserve no amnesty imo. Sorry, the truth hurts. I won't see a doctor who is in the cult.
You know, I really don’t care about his feelings or those who never spoke out against these injections. More so I feel very angry at the entire health industry.
When I was a child doctors came to your home. As an Italian American child in Brooklyn in the 1950’s 1960’s our brownstone,owned by my grandparents, we lived on the second floor and my aunt and her family on the third floor. Whenever our Doctor who spoke Sicilian dialect came to my house for measles mumps or chicken pox (no vaccines then) he was accompanied upstairs by my grandparents who would speak to him about various ailments and he would comfort them with kind words and maybe a prescription.
He would eventually get to see me or my brother. We got a prescription and would feel immediately better. We knew when we saw his little black leather doctors bag we would get excellent care and a lollipop ☺️No insurance forms because we had no insurance and the visit was cash $25 and my grandparents conversations was free.
The reason I brought up home visits is because the doctors at that time got to connect personally with an entire extended family. Now, we’ll I don’t have to tell you because you know,
doctors are mostly in it for the money and protection by corporate medicine firms whom in return expect doctors to follow their rules and all patient doctor relationships ended. The corporate rules:
always refer patients whenever possible. (That way we can keep the patient on a string and collect insurances) inferred Of course. if your smart you assess their “diagnosis “ and make up your own mind.....after all ITS YOUR LIFE.
So my advice is take care of your own health to avoid doctors and only go to one when absolutely necessary to avoid death or blindness.
Maimonides always said stay away from doctors. Eat well but not too much,keep your bowels moving, avoid dangerous activities or places and keep a good disposition and sleep well. He gave diets to keep one healthy too. He was one of the first physicians, in the 13th century!
So since the human body is the same as it was then I think his advice still stands.
So much for corporate medicine and their masking rules, coldness and generally since Covid ,....just raking in the money over YOUR DEAD BODY in many... too many cases
One wonders how many other MDs (and others in the HCW ranks) will be experiencing a massive wave of regret and 'mea culpa' self-recrimination if/when they too come to the inescapable realization that they were complicit in the take down & break down of not only the medical establishment but of society and humanity as a whole as well. They all made choices, whether consciously or not, even if under duress. That "better late than never" BS trope does not cut it, sorry doc. Too little too late is more like it, but if it helps you sleep at night, well then so be it... Sucks to be you though <smh>
If you bash doctors who express regret and sorrow (in the hopes that it allows more doctors to be brave and do the right thing), you ignore the humanity and compassion of your own empathy and compassion. Don't let anyone change who you are. Everyone answers to God, so don't be the judge.
With all due respect, the time for doctors to be brave has passed. I have great compassion and admiration for the few who dared to stand up early on and risked so much in the interest of pointing out and protesting against the illogical, heavy handed policies that sought to excommunicate those who had the audacity to differ from the official narrative, be they colleagues or members of the public at large. The exclusion of patients from access to medical services (e.g., transplant wait lists and surgical procedures, other surgeries & diagnostic work-ups, etc.) by the MANY self-righteous, condescending, heartless and malevolent MDs et al who sought to shame and disqualify the unjabbed from basic health services is a stain on the so-called "profession" that will not wash away, no matter how many crocodile tears they shed in hindsight. No one can claim they knew not what they did, for they knew precisely what they were doing and did it anyway. "Shameful" is the kindest word I can use in this forum.
Dr. Aranda, the jabbed are certainly not at fault, they were victimized. I have enormous empathy and compassion for them for they were conned, coerced, forced, propagandized and shamed into agreeing to submit and there was ZERO informed consent extended to them as they were due, both legally and morally. The members of the med community who unwittingly went along thinking they were being conscientious HCWs may constitute a % of the total, but there were far too many who turned a blind eye to the flagrant violations of their oaths and fundamental guidelines, essentially they went along to get along, and that is THEIR shame. They were not victims but *victimizers*, a distinction that cannot be apologized away, sorry to have to say it this way.
Alan, if you were a doctor, you would see things differently and from the “inside”. I 100% see your point.
Think of this: just like AB 2098, they want doctors to be robots. It’s ingrained into a communist system where the government is always at threat to revoke my license.
Very few doctors are solo practitioners with 100% autonomy. Most stay “in the system” and are indoctrinated to obey. Like a robot, they don’t even know they are robots unless they wake up.
When they do wake up, we should be grateful and figure out how/why they awakened. Then we can hope to get more to cross over.
Without the last component, they belong no where. They commit suicide.
So I’m just asking you to soften your heart and leave the final judgement to God.
Without that, the other side wins yet one more time.
Medicine has been infected with the disease of beaurocracy and has fallen beholden to the agencies that are under the control of big pharma. It’s been a slow steady train wreck.
But, in defense of those trying to practice medicine against the beast that’s been created, the average citizens have to take back their power by taking control of their health. Most chronic diseases are the result of decades of diet and lifestyle choices and doctors cannot fix this for us. It’s our power, our responsibility and our opportunity to be able to walk away from such a corrupted system. We need a medical system for emergencies and such but we really can leaves most of the rest of it behind if we choose to.
His mea culpa is a little late after the unconscionable damage to his fellow man has already been done. He can still try to redeem himself - he obviously still has his licence- not like so many doctors who have been censored
troubled souls ... they know what they did was wrong. he justifies it under "i was busy taking care of patients", but the truth is he and many others were scared and did not had the strength to stand up for their patients.
Pandelis: Go to medical school and you'll see what the students get conscripted into.
Medical schools are government run indoctrination camps where independent thought is suppressed.
He expressed regret and sorrow.
We all have to forgive.
NOPE not in this case NOPE
I agree. If, he turned himself into police, and requested to be charged with crimes against humanity and complicit in murder, possible ethics violations, treating with dangerous protocols, etc., testifies against the Rx comapnies and uses their data against them, and has a trial at Nuremburg, I will then forgive him.
All of us make poor choices in this life.
Forgiving someone is deeply personal and I reserve it for those that have deeply wronged me or those close to me. If I do not know the person, I generally have no reason to forgive them.
- Forgiving someone does not mean you no longer feel the pain of their offense
-Forgiveness does not mean you are to ignore that wrong or that you deny that a sin was committed.
If laws were broken then they should face that judgement.
Evil greedy politicos I have little use for.
They know they are wrong but do not care. Money and power rule their lives.
Many MDs are overworked and spend a lot of time filling out paperwork, so they have little time for actually thinking. Still no excuse.
Now for MDs in my life. There are Doctors that I no longer go to because I do not trust their judgement.
There are Doctors I do not trust because they make public statements that I find just wrong.
This type of Doctor is usually seeking some political office such as the head of a State Health Department.
Doctors I personally trust:
My urologist - He has been great and never pushed anything on me.
My oncologist = He with my urologist treated my prostate cancer.
Thus far I am cancer free after 5 years.
My Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) - He was forced to take the death shots and told me not to take them in mid-year 2021.
-Doctors I no longer trust.
ex-alergist. He and his office subtlety pushed the death shots on me. I ended that discussion by invoking prior experience and fear of anaphylaxis because of the PEG in the shots.
My cardiologist - He never talks about the death/clot shots, I suspect that he is not allowed by hospital rules which usually means the hospital administration.
He is one of the best in my area and I trust his professional judgement.
With all physicians it is now buyer beware! I feel like I am purchasing a used car.
I have little trust in so called medicine these days.
Inform your self before agreeing to any treatments. You many learn more that way than your Doctor does.
"The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him." Daniel 9:9
“If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared.” Psalm 130:3-4
“Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord’” (Romans 12:19).
“But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Matthew 6:15
Correct.
This Mia Cupia is 2 years late and 5 Trillion $$$ long.
He fears for his life and his family's once retribution begins.
Most of all, he fears GOD and the eternal lake of fire.
James Beck: You think he was that culpable and deep into it? Such as forcing covid (dybbuk) jabs and remdesivir on unwilling people? That sort of perfidy would be required to consign him to Abaddon.
When sinners get saved, no one bangs them on the head. We need to love others like we love ourselves, or we deny Christ. And there is a big difference between saving your job, taking or giving the jab, and killing with Remdesivir. He expressed no such regrets so I hold him accountable only for that which he revealed. And if he regrets doing all the above, and sees the light, I welcome him to "the other side" with open arms. And I pray that he comes back and makes a few comments to show how much he has changed. Because you may have done the same things in the same situation. Just sayin'. We need to be on the same side.
Sure. However, only ICU "physicians" forced remdesivir (Veklury) on people. And while quite a few doctors pressured patients to take covid jabs, even that was nowhere near universal. (Granted, numerous medical practices, esp. hospitals, required jabbing before they'd even let people see a doctor.)
The only unforgivable sin is refusing to repent.
It's more of what they DIDN'T say?
Exactly.... Money over Morals..
This is all well and good but he's not quite over the target yet, IMHO. And the target is huge. It's an elephant and it's called pharma. The trust we place(d) in docs rested largely in their ability to heal. And they either healed by 'cutting ', ie, surgically removing the offending pathology- or by prescribing it away. Well now that 80% of us have deemed that we don't trust the recommendation of 99% of docs to 'get boosted', I'd say docs had best begin to accept that our blind faith in them is fading into the ether. We are no longer blind and no longer faithful, because it turns out that docs are blind and faithful- to pharma. I suspect I'm not the only one who assumed that when my doc prescribed something, that he had independently vetted it as being safe and effective after hours of due diligence scouring journals, ingredient lists and lists of side effects. That was my blind faith, clearly misplaced. Now I'm suspicious of everything I'm told by my doc because I can't 'unknow' what I now know. And I'm not alone. This is medicine's real crisis and it's why Colleges and governments are desperately imposing controls on what doctors are allowed to say, think and prescribe- because we now distrust them and with that distrust, their power, prestige and control, evaporates. As it should.
You’re speaking my mind here; I see doctors in a totally different light now. I divide them into 2 camps; pharma doctors & patriot doctors.
Everyone has been complacent, not just doctors. Look at AB 2098, which passed in California. I was on the steps of Sacramento's Capital Building and where was the public? With 15 doctors, lawyers, and a child activist pleading with the Governor, who was in the audience? And How did AB 2098 PASS?
Now it is LAW that on January 1, 2023, no doctor can give informed consent on COVID matters. One-size-fits-all is the only government approach to COVID - what is next? Just wait until it is chemotherapy, or your child's vaccines.
Everyone is culpable. Everyone. We all need to stick together and do our best.
Patients want great care but don’t want to take responsibility for their health. Government is oh so happy to use health care to leverage more power over everybody as they come between clinician and patient.
So right. For example, everyone had a chance to lose weight by exercising at home during the pandemic. So many waited for the end of another long winter, only to have gained 10-15 lbs. Three winters later, many need to lose weight = and reduce their risk of death from heart disease, stroke, and repeat COVID, to name a few..
That was the goal, and many bought into it. Keep people closed in, less exercise, less vitamin D, more eating, more laying around, less socialization. Close down, re-open, close down, re-open. It's a perfect recipe to keep people getting sick. It's ironic because where I am, all of the maskers (3 yrs in now?!) the branch covidians are always overweight, and generally not a little bit.
Agreed, AB2098 is abhorrent and immoral. It’s probably also illegal. I expect (and hope) it will be struck down at the first legal challenge.
I may have not been there on the Capitol steps with you, but I have been relentlessly outspoken on Twitter, tagging Gavin Newsom and senators Pan and Weiner.
Benj! Really? COOL! Tag me @TheRebelPatient on Twitter - I will RETWEET everything - and you'll see my Substack articles there, especially on hospital hostage situations! I even interviewed Josh Guetzkow and Scott Schara - more coming up! Tag me! I'll tag you back!
Ok, I’m adding you now. Beelzebenj 😌
Sweet!!!
We need others on Twitter ~ it’s our chance to get others to cross over.
If you’re reading this, set up a Twitter with your email, install the app on your phone, then tweet Substack articles and add “@TheRebelPatient” and I’ll like and retweet to my 25K Followers! Do it today!
If everyone thought that We the People were hopeless to defend themselves and stand up for what is right, no one would have done a thing. AB 2098 PASSED because the Gov. did not veto it - he signed it into law and it was 100% in his hands. There was no hearing - it was a 5pm deadline to "do nothing", "VETO", or "sign". Gov. Newsom chose to sign. His signed letter was different than what the law stated, as if he didn't know what was written on it. But we know that he knew exactly what he was doing - because he told us exactly what it meant.
https://therebelpatient.substack.com/p/governor-newsom-signs-ab-2098
Listen to his talk here, and see how "you are next". Maybe if you had seen this prior to AB 2098, you would have stood next to me, or at least held a sign in the audience. You could have even worn glasses and a hat to disguise yourself.
I stood up and opposed "being next". If everyone had stood up, the outcome would have been different. Now it seems we get what we deserved for being silent.
For those of us who stood up, we would do it again. We will keep fighting for you.
We are willing to give everything up. We are willing to stand up for what is right to protect our God-given freedoms. We have no regrets.
Sorry, but I disagree. These bills are like elections. They're shoo-ins. It's already been plotted, planned, and pre-approved. When ypu have a fake"re-branded" flu, with patents for tests and tracking of such a flu 5 years before it ever came to be, this is all scripted and planned. When biden was installed and covid was rolled out, all of the characters were cue'd to start playing their parts. Lock down, deem non-essential, push fake science, traumatize 24 hrs a day with death fear/porn on news, threatrn, manipulate. Well organized attack really with most governments complicit.
Great comment, Camilla. As I have called the "white coats" for years: "The Cut, Poison, & Burn Club."
Medicine's dirty little secret. Your typical doctor would gladly prescribe cyanide to an entire nursing home for a box of warm donuts and the chance to stare down Bambi--the hot young pharma rep's--cleavage.
A very touching paper by a physician, most of us would love to have as their doctor. That doctor patient relationship, simply no longer exists here in the UK. It was never really that great, now it simply doesn’t exist. Advocacy for a patient, all but gone. I can understand this man’s despair.
Wherever patient compassion resides, it plants an unending seed of love and light.
While I've never been to the UK, my childhood reading repeatedly mentioned British physicians keeping their patients' imminent demise secret from them. Seems to now afflict the US, too. (Remdesivir "saving" patients from death is but a single example.) Big Pharma is, of course, worse. Insulin-dependency (again, just as an example) is often a bankruptcy, and perhaps death, sentence. Don't even get me started on the (self-)misrepresented Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs).
Dr Kommer, Now that you are retired, I hope you will join others and take up the sword for protecting the Doctor/patient relationship and help build a better health care system. We need it. We all (providers and patients) have become a number, a cost point in the huge machinery of giant medical groups that are more concerned with the bottom line.
If your health allows it, now is the time to use your voice and experience. You have nothing to lose and we have everything to gain. We need to fill the ranks with Providers that truly care about patients and the honorable "practice of medicine". We needed more doctors to speak up the last 2 1/2 years, but they were too afraid to pull on the chain of corporate medicine that is around their necks.
We need a major overhaul of the system, or a new decentralized independent system where the power lies in the doctor/patient relationship. The few that have stood up the last 2 1/2 years have paid dearly for their advocacy. They have been maligned, fired and had their licenses threatened in order to achieve their compliance and the Powers That Were have failed. They have informed and saved millions of lives at great personal risk and they have the support and gratitude of millions.
If other Providers are reading this, NOW is the time to join together and stand up. The profession as you know it is dying and future doctors will be nothing more than "order followers" that will look at approved treatments and write an approved prescription. There will be no art or practice of medicine. We are at a turning point in history and what will you (providers collectively) say 5, 10 years from now? , "I stood up. I gave it all I could", or "....................nothing. I chose a safe, ever shrinking prison. Medicine was different back then"
Well said. Many of us spoke up and we were targeted.
Taking Action is always NOW. Sticking together is always RIGHT.
Thank YOU, Dr. Aranda, for your courage and advocacy 🙏🙏🙏. THANK YOU to every medical provider that is making a stand and telling the truth. There is so much at stake right now. With deepest Gratitude, Support and Appreciation 🙏🙏🙏
All my pleasure. I do everything as a service to God, who is my biggest boss:).
Amen! I admire and commend your courage in speaking -up and your message of "Taking Action is Always Now. Sticking together is always RIGHT" is crucial for victory in restoring confidence and trust in our health care system... Taking action is exposing truth and honoring the Hippocratic Oath.... United in Truth, Integrity, Compassion, and Love, Humanity will prevail!
Amen to that!
Did you know that not all doctors even took the Hippocratic Oath? Maybe this explains much more: https://therebelpatient.substack.com/p/not-all-doctors-took-the-hippocratic
While I appreciate and commend Dr. Kommer on his compassionate insight and reflection on the decline of patient care due to the major failures that have occurred with the evolving health care system in the US over the past 20 years. he did not mention the most egregious elephant in the room and that is the dangerous experimental mRNA injections that continue to be promoted by the FDA, CDC, NIH, AMA and other medical organizations with no informed consent of the potential for serious adverse health effects and fatal injuries.
He mentioned it without mentioning it, and sits in positions where he can do something about it. Read between the lines. He still has a job.
If this doctor means what he says, the most important work he can do is working to rid the United States of the PREP Act. The Act giving liability immunity to manufacturers of injectable junk during "emergencies" is implicitly criminal. The silence of doctors -- thus far -- on this topic is deafening.
The problem is centralization. It started a couple of decades ago and reached a new predictable height when the Obama administration and congress implemented the Affordable Care Act. Rapidly the large providers (typically the local hospital(s)) took over the delivery of health care. Hospitals and large providers are run by committee. If you can envision the couple of people who know how to steer a committee to their desired result then you can envision where essentially as few as only one person can implement policies. It’s as if one or a very few people have the ability to basically flip a switch and that’s the new operating procedure for everyone. It’s called centralization folks and when history is written the centralization of treatment during the covid fiasco is going to be shown to have resulted in most of the deaths from a severe flu like disease. Good luck future generation(s), your gonna need it.
You are absolutely right. With centralization comes AI: doctors without hearts or minds. Robots.
They’re trying to eliminate our population.
There's a reason the doctors and nurses are being forced to take this bioweapon too. Most of them will be downsized thanks to screen visits, AI, and robot home care.
The good doctors and nurses who would not get vaccinated were selected out of hospitals so remdesivir and ventilation. And stand at the hospital bedside doing nothing instead of CPR when someone stops breathing after being given sedatives and opioids. Everything will go AI/Robotic. Right now it's murder in hospitals; euthanasia in America is next.
Im hearing rumblings of patients with relatively innocuous problems being offered assisted suicide. Up in Canada.
Me too. It is a sad travesty and planned genocide. Another wave of deaths they are funneling for their own needs. Thank you and please let me know if anyone wants an interview before succumbing therebelpatient@substack.com - God bless you.
Live much of the year in Mexico... Am concerned that if I come back to the US for Medicare treatment, they might Vax me against my will. I'm healthy, and med care in Mexico is excellent in my area, so I may never need to return, but.... A triple bypass here in MX could bankrupt me.
Maybe there is still such a thing as a nurse advocate. Maybe you could find one. But I believe they could not leave you alone overnight or anytime. Sad isn’t it .
Yes, friends from India report the health care is excellent there also.
Interesting, I hadn’t before connected this loss of true patient-centered care to an AI trajectory, but that makes sense. This is so sad. Years ago, I worked on the emerging physician order entry and documentation computer systems, but at a certain point I couldn’t do it anymore. Everything was being reduced to a formula.
I’ve been shocked in recent dealings with the healthcare system on behalf of family members just how bad the system had become. Young primary care physicians we’ve dealt with can’t even interpret basic labs without the help of their AI prompts.
We have to learn to heal ourselves. But that being said, there are still times when people need to interface with the medical system. And it’s sad to see that it has been so degraded.
Yes! You are spot on!
Absolutely
All I see is a doctor that has regrets about not speaking up. Unfortunately, I can say the same thing for every damn doctor and nurse and hospital administrator out there. NOT one of them STOOD UP and practiced PATIENT ADVOCATE!! You all let the husband die alone without his loving wife alongside of him to say goodbye, to give some comfort. You all withheld this common decency from all of the people. You all killed these people as much as the vaccine has hurt and killed the people, by not saying ENOUGH stop this now!!!. We have to change the protocol, because this is not working, let's try something else. NO, you all followed the narrative and obeyed bad orders and hid your head in the sand. NOW HIDE YOUR HEADS IN SHAME for what YOU ALL DID TO ALL THOSE PEOPLE!!!! Your voice is TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE!
It is never too late to accept someone who crosses over to the other side. We need more doctors to make this transition. And if the public displayed the same support and empathy doctors are required to have for every living human, whether free or jailed, then maybe more doctors would change sides. We need to welcome everyone who (finally) sees the light. Maybe my writing will better explain: https://therebelpatient.substack.com/p/a-note-to-the-vaccinated-with-remorse
As Dr. Kommer states, “Better late than never”. I grew to dislike HMOs starting about 25 years ago, more so as those damned tablets came between me and my “doctor” (or is that more accurately “Big Pharma rep”?). Also, I would dearly love to see legislation upending medical boards to only dealing with actual physician qualifications and not dictating what is or is not an acceptable protocol. That is between the physician and patient, not to be overseen by some bureaucrat that has no knowledge of the patient. Focus only on qualifications of the physician.
it happened long time ago like in early 1900s with rockfeller foundation.
With more clarity the history was Rockefeller money used by the fledgling and failing medical association of that time. The man, whose name I forget, that took over that organization decided that focusing on selling drugs that could be patented was the way to go as you could then control the entire healing industry. Thus, the choice was to go after all holistic protocols, Homeopathy in particular as it was so popular, inexpensive and very effective at achieving cure, not just survival which is all the medical industry cares about as that provides repeat and ongoing customers as they never get well. Maybe they lose some symptoms but the drugs cause more disease that very often is worse than the original complaint. What is core and crucial to understanding the history is that the medical industry is no different than any other industry. It was established to market itself, control the market and kill off all competition. Raising money for lobbying and installing industry people on govt agency and policy making bodies and getting them elected to govt decision-making bodies like Congress or State Legislatures. It is a corporate, capitalist model and works in opposition to democratic processes and principles. The public needs educating on this and needs to be disabused of their belief system in an industry that pretends to be about the patient but in fact is all about profit and control and killing the competition which is way more beneficial to our health.
BTW, currently the FDA is again pushing to control/destroy access to homeopathic medicines. People need to make phone calls and send emails to the White House and their Congressional legislators. You can look up the Americans for Homeopathic Choice for information and sample letters that you can send or for speaking points. This is even more critical than the DSHEA regs heavily lobbied by the Pubic in the mid 1990's that gave us the legal right to access natural forms of healing. Understand what we actually have on the law books and how those laws are being destroyed via the Codex Alimentarius agreements that are signed into international treaty agreements--The CAFTA in the US did that to us. Don't want to take too much space here talking about this but important the people learn and act on this information.
homeopathic choice, codex alimentarius agreements true.
Yes - Rockefeller bought up all the medical schools and changed them over to OIL and chemical based drugs that don't cure diseases. They just suppress symptoms while the side effects of the drugs (that no human had ever consumed before the early 1900's) cause more symptoms which have to be suppressed until the average American is on 5 or more drugs which they have to take till they die which will be sooner because of the negative health effects of the drugs which is one reason why U.S. life expectancy has been decreasing for 4 years now. Pharma doesn't want to cure disease they want to addict the patients to drugs that they will have to take until they die.
My personal thoughts.
It is always good for reflection, but we also need accountability.
I worked in health care my whole career. First working for a group of Dr’s offering seven primary services and had approximately 50 Dr’s in this practice. I started out as a file clerk/receptionist and then moved to a keyboard operator ( keying all the Dr’s services per patient, sent these cards to our Provincial Health Authority for payment. I remember back then as a young person, many of these Dr’s acted like they were ‘God’. If we couldn’t find a patient’s file ( which often it was in the Dr’s desk, or in their brief case, or at home), the patient would sit waiting as file clerks were yelled at, some crying because we couldn’t find the file. Sometimes it was misfiled ( not that often). I remember seeing lab reports where it showed a person had cancer, but the wrong person was told they had cancer. Example: there was two Adam Smith’s. No one was held accountable. I then moved on to work in Public Health, becoming a CPA then working for our Provincial Government. ( Now retired).
So during my 35 year career I was able to see the whole picture of our health care system.
Our Health Care Systems worldwide need to be taken down and built back.
Health Care has become political. Dr’s donate to the political party they like to get the health policies they wish, plus the funding they want.
The reason why we have health care is forgotten. It should be all about the patient.
In the airline business they have ‘Cockpit Resource Management’, we need to have that in Health Care.
Dr’s need to pay their staff better and respect them. They could hire Nurse Practitioners. Many of them don’t want to, as that takes away from their net income. They need to hire business people to manage their businesses. They need to have someone in their organization that reviews all new public health mandates and ‘red flags’ issues to Dr’s.
I also remember as a 5 year old child, loosing my baby brother as the Dr’s gave him the wrong blood transfusion.
As a society we need to become our own ‘Dr’s, doing lots of research and holding Dr’s and other Health Care Practitioners accountable. We need to demand that.
We all need to do that with our Government’s ( all parties), our education systems also.
I’m not stating that all Healthcare Professionals , Politicians, Educators are bad. I am saying that many of our ‘systems’ are.
When a good or service becomes a politically allocated good or service it becomes a political issue. Once it’s an issue the correct or good or best method of delivering the good or service is determined by politics and not what is good or best. So every country that implements government controlled health care does and always will end up with health care delivered through political power and not through the market place. The market place would correct, as well as anything could, the poor delivery of health care.
https://www.expatriatehealthcare.com/the-top-10-healthcare-systems-in-the-world-2022/
I think we need a blend of Government and Market Health Care.
Have a nice day.
I appreciate this post very much. Some doctors are suffering with the decisions they made because they were told to do so or lose their jobs. I’m a clinician. I see a young doc who cries in my office every session. He pulls himself together before he leaves and thanks me for sitting with him. It’s not right was was done. It’s just not right.
This is exactly why more doctors are retiring, leaving the profession, or committing suicide.
Thank you for your compassion and empathy. I am certain he is doing a lot of good and God has put him in the right place ~ he will be used for a much greater good and the timing will be perfect.
Tell him to email any of us. Our substack is usually our email. Mine is therebelpatient@substack.com
I worked in a hospital twice from September 2020 to present. I became friends with one of the hospitalists in our small rural facility. He had absolutely no power to effect any change except to his growing reputation as a troublemaker. He realized soon that he was there to be the licensed fall-guy if something tragic happens and nothing more. Did he get anything changed? Nope. Admin and his mRNA-loving colleagues removed him from committees, from discussion groups, and the message sent was enough that he removed himself from a facility that needs him very much. A doctor is in a tough spot. Do they speak up and become a target only to lose their license and unable to see any patients? Or do they keep quiet, see all the patients they possibly can, and work within the f'ed up system they had no hand in creating. Once a license is revoked, a doctor is truly worthless to the patients who need him/her. I, for one, will not judge. Will Dr Kommer succeed? I am pessimistic but I applaud that he is now trying to do something.
You are correct on many points. Like the doctor here, he is now in administration, on committee, and in a place to affect change. That’s why he cannot apologize for the elephant in the room.
I absolutely believe this is his way of infiltrating the opposition and doing any possible good.
More so than that, though, I see it as his penance to make up for his sins, guilt, and regrets.
And he will do it.
I hope you are correct and I am not.
As I understand it Pharma now owns the data from their clinical trials of drugs and vaccines and hardly any of that data is released to doctors and the public so doctors are completely ignorant as to the safety and efficacy of pharma's products. Would appreciate any feedback from anyone having more knowledge about this.
Big pharma has been playing the deceitful money game since the 1950s. Doctors knew and they played along. It’s only since insurance and corporate medicine began that it really began to be HUGE profits at patients expense. My husband is 8O years old and has seen it all happen gradually. In the meantime Covid was the perfect storm to expose a long time of covert dealings against the public at large. Just imagine the tests given to women for X-rays called mammograms. The doctors always insisted women get them all the while they were being told to do this by the manufacturer of the mammogram machines. All in all very few people with genetic predisposition for breast cancer were ever saved by early diagnosis. Doctors know this. But our culture is trained to follow doctors advice and never think for themselves.
On the one hand, we’re trained to obey. On the other hand, and to their credit, they also taught us to think. That is what saved us.
Dr.
Everyone thinks. It’s the action taken from thinking that matters.
Creative minds that aren’t expressed in creating are just empty thoughts.
Evil minds that express their intentions verbally or otherwise should be taken seriously and stopped
which means doctors should not prescribe anything they don't understand. But, they don't give a shit, prescribe away!!! Keep those checks and bonuses rolling in.
Yes, on the one hand, but no on the other hand: none of us ever prescribed ivermectin before- and that is the legitimate reason most doctors were afraid to try it- they have that right, as you state. Many hid in that hole, which is a pretty good hole. End of story. No one can “make” them prescribe.
On the other hand, none of us knew how to prescribe a thing until someone showed us how - learning something new is in our training, after all.
There was no one to teach me how to prescribe ivermectin. I read, I studied and I made it clear to my patients that I (no one) had ever prescribed this before. I wrote an informed consent detailing what I knew, so we had an understanding.
But I’ll tell you that it takes a certain amount of guts to prescribe ivermectin, because of these reasons.
I get why some didn’t have the expertise or experience with new drugs to embark on this adventure.
As an anesthesiologist, my training is drugs that paralyze, sedate, render unconscious, resuscitate, and reanimate. Therefore, I was comfortable. I don’t expect every other doctor to have this level of comfort.
So the best approach would have been for them to refer patients to someone like me. Without a referral, patients found me on FLCCC or Budesonide websites - they did their homework.
Thank God for the very frontline doctors who taught us what to do.
that's some really strange stuff for a doctor to say. Ivermectin is easily found on WHO list of essential medicines, it won a Nobel Prize for its discovery, it has been safely prescribed and used regularly by billions of people around the globe. You don't "know how to prescribe it"?? You do some research which is easily found.
Doctors in US have always had the ability to prescribe medicines "off label" and do it regularly per my understanding. That freedom was taken away from doctors during this asinine clown show and they happily jumped on board. That was done to destroy any alternatives so that the fraudulent EUA could be issued by Fauci and his band of criminals. These doctors also happily jumped on the jabs but knew FAR LESS about these quackcines than they did HCQ and Ivermectin. Both proven and safe medicines for decades.
I just gave you insight from a doctor’s perspective, and you reject it. I ended up treating over 2000 patients, none of whom died - but I shouldn’t have to justify myself to you. I laid out the process and you’re still critical and actually demeaning, so I’m done with this conversation.
wasn't clear to me that you were treating people with ivm, that is great. However, sounds like you are making excuses for all the other doctors who jumped on the pfizer gravy train. They deserve no amnesty imo. Sorry, the truth hurts. I won't see a doctor who is in the cult.
Hi Michael, Josh Guetzkow et al at JackanApes.Substack.com are analyzing thousands of papers from Pfizer. Keep an eye on him:)
Thanks!
You know, I really don’t care about his feelings or those who never spoke out against these injections. More so I feel very angry at the entire health industry.
When I was a child doctors came to your home. As an Italian American child in Brooklyn in the 1950’s 1960’s our brownstone,owned by my grandparents, we lived on the second floor and my aunt and her family on the third floor. Whenever our Doctor who spoke Sicilian dialect came to my house for measles mumps or chicken pox (no vaccines then) he was accompanied upstairs by my grandparents who would speak to him about various ailments and he would comfort them with kind words and maybe a prescription.
He would eventually get to see me or my brother. We got a prescription and would feel immediately better. We knew when we saw his little black leather doctors bag we would get excellent care and a lollipop ☺️No insurance forms because we had no insurance and the visit was cash $25 and my grandparents conversations was free.
The reason I brought up home visits is because the doctors at that time got to connect personally with an entire extended family. Now, we’ll I don’t have to tell you because you know,
doctors are mostly in it for the money and protection by corporate medicine firms whom in return expect doctors to follow their rules and all patient doctor relationships ended. The corporate rules:
always refer patients whenever possible. (That way we can keep the patient on a string and collect insurances) inferred Of course. if your smart you assess their “diagnosis “ and make up your own mind.....after all ITS YOUR LIFE.
So my advice is take care of your own health to avoid doctors and only go to one when absolutely necessary to avoid death or blindness.
Maimonides always said stay away from doctors. Eat well but not too much,keep your bowels moving, avoid dangerous activities or places and keep a good disposition and sleep well. He gave diets to keep one healthy too. He was one of the first physicians, in the 13th century!
So since the human body is the same as it was then I think his advice still stands.
So much for corporate medicine and their masking rules, coldness and generally since Covid ,....just raking in the money over YOUR DEAD BODY in many... too many cases
Insightful comment. We cannot discount the role of health insurance in destroying healthcare.
One wonders how many other MDs (and others in the HCW ranks) will be experiencing a massive wave of regret and 'mea culpa' self-recrimination if/when they too come to the inescapable realization that they were complicit in the take down & break down of not only the medical establishment but of society and humanity as a whole as well. They all made choices, whether consciously or not, even if under duress. That "better late than never" BS trope does not cut it, sorry doc. Too little too late is more like it, but if it helps you sleep at night, well then so be it... Sucks to be you though <smh>
If you bash doctors who express regret and sorrow (in the hopes that it allows more doctors to be brave and do the right thing), you ignore the humanity and compassion of your own empathy and compassion. Don't let anyone change who you are. Everyone answers to God, so don't be the judge.
With all due respect, the time for doctors to be brave has passed. I have great compassion and admiration for the few who dared to stand up early on and risked so much in the interest of pointing out and protesting against the illogical, heavy handed policies that sought to excommunicate those who had the audacity to differ from the official narrative, be they colleagues or members of the public at large. The exclusion of patients from access to medical services (e.g., transplant wait lists and surgical procedures, other surgeries & diagnostic work-ups, etc.) by the MANY self-righteous, condescending, heartless and malevolent MDs et al who sought to shame and disqualify the unjabbed from basic health services is a stain on the so-called "profession" that will not wash away, no matter how many crocodile tears they shed in hindsight. No one can claim they knew not what they did, for they knew precisely what they were doing and did it anyway. "Shameful" is the kindest word I can use in this forum.
No one who crosses over to the other side, whether a doctor or a vaccinated person, should be shamed. We need to honor their makeover. Please see here, and find empathy: https://therebelpatient.substack.com/p/a-note-to-the-vaccinated-with-remorse
Every doctor who crosses over is a fierce warrior.
Dr. Aranda, the jabbed are certainly not at fault, they were victimized. I have enormous empathy and compassion for them for they were conned, coerced, forced, propagandized and shamed into agreeing to submit and there was ZERO informed consent extended to them as they were due, both legally and morally. The members of the med community who unwittingly went along thinking they were being conscientious HCWs may constitute a % of the total, but there were far too many who turned a blind eye to the flagrant violations of their oaths and fundamental guidelines, essentially they went along to get along, and that is THEIR shame. They were not victims but *victimizers*, a distinction that cannot be apologized away, sorry to have to say it this way.
Alan, if you were a doctor, you would see things differently and from the “inside”. I 100% see your point.
Think of this: just like AB 2098, they want doctors to be robots. It’s ingrained into a communist system where the government is always at threat to revoke my license.
Very few doctors are solo practitioners with 100% autonomy. Most stay “in the system” and are indoctrinated to obey. Like a robot, they don’t even know they are robots unless they wake up.
When they do wake up, we should be grateful and figure out how/why they awakened. Then we can hope to get more to cross over.
Without the last component, they belong no where. They commit suicide.
So I’m just asking you to soften your heart and leave the final judgement to God.
Without that, the other side wins yet one more time.
Medicine has been infected with the disease of beaurocracy and has fallen beholden to the agencies that are under the control of big pharma. It’s been a slow steady train wreck.
But, in defense of those trying to practice medicine against the beast that’s been created, the average citizens have to take back their power by taking control of their health. Most chronic diseases are the result of decades of diet and lifestyle choices and doctors cannot fix this for us. It’s our power, our responsibility and our opportunity to be able to walk away from such a corrupted system. We need a medical system for emergencies and such but we really can leaves most of the rest of it behind if we choose to.
His mea culpa is a little late after the unconscionable damage to his fellow man has already been done. He can still try to redeem himself - he obviously still has his licence- not like so many doctors who have been censored
.
Some of us had to be the outspoken, others waited in the fires as the “second” wave, still others need to cross over.
He still has his license and he’s on committees to affect change. I hope he comes back to report on the goodness he has accomplished.
I've been censored and any doctor crossing over, no matter how late or what atrocities were committed, is a warrior on our side - perhaps a stronger one that will now fight to the death. Please see my article: https://therebelpatient.substack.com/p/a-note-to-the-vaccinated-with-remorse
