This statement says it all “it is also indicative of a broader corruption of medicine through infiltration, especially at medical schools and professional organizations, of woke ideology.”

My then 10 yo had an emergency appendectomy last Nov (2021). Fortunately, some outdoor emergency care training I had while an outdoor guide in undergrad allowed us to catch it early so we were in and out of the pediatric ER in a wonderfully short 10.5 hours (hint, if pain doesn’t move from the lower right quadrant for 18 straight hours, especially if soften can’t stop puking, go straight to the ER).

Anyway, while the actual surgeon and nurses at this top ranked NC teaching hospital were great, the med students and residents were a really bad joke. They were all freaked out of Covid. They were all appalled my daughter attended a private Christian school that had been in person and mask free except during mandates since mid August 2020, despite this hospital’s and the associated University’s Christian founding. Mostly they were completely spooked and highly offended my 10 year old daughter was not worried about Covid and honestly answered their questions about that.

After one “resident” told her that if her Covid test came back positive she might not get the operation, which wasn’t even true (and if it had been, that hospital would have been crawling with more attorneys than they could imagine, plus one of the ED directors is a personal friend), she finally looked at this particular “resident” and said “I’m on an IV antibiotic drip because the doctor said my ultrasound results showed my appendix may have already burst. No, I am not scared of Covid. I’m 10. I have no reason to be scared of Covid. I’m scared my appendix burst and if it doesn’t come out I might die.”

On a brighter note, she looked at me when we left the hospital and said “Mom, I can’t be a vet. I need to be a doctor when I grow up because if that’s the future of medicine we’re all gonna die.” 😂🤣😂

Medicine is just one of the many institutions corrupted by this ideology, but it’s the most critical to address lest we are willing to tolerate thousands more children going on blockers/hormones or being mutilated by surgeries.

Here’s an example of how eager medicine is to put kids on this pathway. Four years ago my daughter came out as NB and we have never affirmed. Two years ago I had my teenage son at an ear/nose/throat consult. The physician took a family history & my son mentioned his younger sis has depression (he didnt mention gender). ENT got almost gleeful and said “Your daughter has depression? That means she may have gender issues! Do you want a referral to our clinic?” Referring a kid she’s never seen to a clinic for a condition she has no expertise on. If I hadn’t already been well versed in the horrors of “affirming care,” I might have taken that referral and we all know what would have happened from there. How many well intentioned but uninformed parents have been put down a path of no return because medicine can’t stop catering to the Be Kind crowd?
