fuck off loser
JAMA - Journal of American Medical Association which all MDs belong to, so they all get the monthly subscription.
In the front section of the Journal, is the List of the Top 10 Killers in America. As far back as 2005 and before, I saw that the 3 rd Leading Cause of Death was …DOCTORS.(Misdiagnosis, Unneccessary Surgery, Wrong Prescriptions, Adverse Drug Reactions and "other" Idiopathic causes).
2020 - DOCTORS now top the List at No. 1 spot. Except the JAMA switched it to read "IDIOPATHIC Causes" at No. 1, which means "we don't know what the fuck caused it".
A Euphemism to protect ……….guess who.
You can look it up yourself if you have access to JAMA, or read JAMA on Lexis/Nexis which is available at the Library.
Also if there is a Business & Science Library in your city, they have the JAMA issues. (there is a Biz/Science Library in NYC)
See for yourself.
About 10 years ago, I was telling a self-made Fortune 500 Co. Chairman about this list, he said: "Says who?"
I said: "The July 26 issue of JAMA, you can look it up on Lexis/Nexis". That shut him up.
Anyone can look it up.
NO CODE
Some years back, There was a Survey of thousands of MDs, Paramedics and EMTs about whether they want the Aggressive Invasive "Life Saving measures" used in acute care.
iirc, 80% of Doctors said NO. Doctors interviewed said that all those extreme Emergency procedures that they use on patients, which barely prolongs the patients' life, and the quality of patients' life is dismal.
Doctors say they have to do it to show that they did "everything" they could to save the patient, to avoid lawsuits.
(Not to mention Maximum Profits)
They do not want it done on themselves, so many MDs, EMTs and Paramedics carry a card with the words:
NO CODE
on it, so that if they are ever in a situation and they're unconscious, they want to be left alone to die.
Some EMTs interviewed actually have NO CODE TATTOOED ON THEIR CHEST.
Since then:
-
I always carry my business card on me with the words NO CODE written on it.
