Are doctors killing patients to support hospice and palliative care?

Million-dollar or multimillion-dollar salaries of business CEO’s do not allow for the expensive care to save a life, preserve a life, or provide services to restore a life.

Today's doctors are subtlety pressured to choose death (hospice/palliative care) rather than deal with Administrative pressures to save money and not patient lives?

The dichotomy between businessmen and physicians highlights this difference

1. Businessmen take an oath to protect profits ---physicians take an oath to protect patients

2. businessmen take an oath to protect the stockholders ---physicians take an oath to protect the baby holders:which are the parents/grandparents

3. businessmen see numbers --- physicians see patients

4. businessmen try to save money --- physicians try to save lives

The field of medicine is no place for business leadership. Physician leadership is what is required. Business leadership pushes the statement that the 18 months to 24 months of training for a nurse practitioner or physician assistant is equivalent to the minimum of 7 years for a physician to be trained. Hospitals and Business CEO’s have said yes to this equivalency. They have funded campaigns to try and influence state legislators to view them as one and the same and to demean physicians to the level of a provider and not recognize physicians as a leader of the medical team or acknowledge their physician status but see them as just another employee.

The field of medicine and business cannot intertwine because human lives are at stake. The record is clear the introduction of business CEOs and COO’s multiple million-dollar salaries has driven up the cost of health care and not lowered it. As well as the business practice of prior Authorizations which was imposed upon physicians and the practice of medicine, it may sometime delays treatment, therapies, medications, and sometimes surgeries. The business practice of prior authorization has not been shown to speed up patient access to care delivery or improve patient outcomes but it does generate savings for business entities in the areas of health insurance.

Physician training must return to the patient being their first love. The patient-physician relationship and bond must be restored. The field of medicine is unique and the only career field where this relationship exist, please note that the nurse-patient relationship is in support of the physician-patient relationship. The patient must be given more time and listened to. The depth of caring for the patient must return to the level of it being a personal calling on their lives to provide this unique service to others and not a business career decision.

Hospice and palliative care allow monies to be generated and saved at the same time. Hospitals, doctors and nurses are compensated to extinguish a life instead of pushing medical science to discover new treatments and therapies to cure an illness or prolong a life. When Dr. Jack Kevorkian was attacked for his efforts, the medical profession agreed 1. It must be a patient request 2. Everything that could be done was medically done and 3. The patient must be suffering. Now the profession is incentivized to recruit, restrict, withhold and redirect to hospice or palliative care. Surveys are filled by by medical staff to assess if you are a hospice or palliative care candidate for any visit to the hospital! Instead of searching for candidates for research studies to advance the field of medical science.

We must place saving the life of the patient first, in the field of medicine there is no such thing as futile care! We battle disease and death. We are at war with morbidity and mortality. Let’s choose life and a good fight against death first.

You all disregard people's health in pursuit of power and profit.

Keep the awareness coming. And while releasing all of this information is useful, people continue to rush for Covid and flu shots. I know of three people this week alone.

Rand Paul and Ron Johnson keep revealing all of this, but justice must be served. When will Fauci and the rest truly be held accountable?

Rev Dr Don, while you speak truth to power, your desires, while noble and correct, miss the mark because it’s the doctors themselves (scientists and researchers) who make the decisions to cooperate with big pharma and the businessman who have corrupted them with money and power. Where is the personal responsibility of the corrupted doctors like Fauci, Collin’s, and Marks? Doctors like Kevorkian and most abortionist doctors have fallen far from grace. No wonder many Americans have zero respect or trust in today’s medical profession. Doctors like you are a dying breed. Thank you for your honor and commitment to your hypocrite oath.

Should patients trust the medical profession? When we are not truthful about mRNA vaccines causing harm and injury.

The medical profession as a whole has turned a deaf ear to their pain and suffering and pretends our mismanagement did not happen. The scientific evidence of continued mRNA spike protein production in patients' bodies in 2026, is condemning when there is no Covid 19 pandemic or infection, this continues to haunt medical science. Science created a turn-on switch but no turn off switch.

Physicians can not be trusted until we admit that the management of COVID-19 and the treatment of patients and their families was a disaster. We speak from a position of loss revenue from vaccine stocks and trying to protect our relationship with the pharmaceutical industry, our biggest financial sponsor of all our medical organizations and medical societies.

As physicians our first love is the patient and not the vaccine industry and our second is to do no harm. The mRNA technology needs to be perfected. Can we turn off spike protein production? The answer is No! Were there excess deaths and injuries from the mRNA spike protein vaccine greater than our medical standard to pull a vaccine from the market, the answer is Yes! Cemeteries and graveyards don't lie as well as autopsies.

The traditional protein-based COVID-19 vaccines exist and are safe and effective so we do not have an excuse to push a technology moving at warp speed without brakes.

We must return to our roots and get the business mindset out of killing patients through hospice and palliative care to save insurance companies' and hospitals' financial resources.

We must return to our foundation of battling death and disease and not protecting a million-dollar or multi-million-dollar CEO salary or the promise of a retirement job working for the insurance or pharmaceutical industry.

The patient must be our first LOVE! Caring for patients must be our calling and not a financial career choice. We must regain control of the field of medicine and return to the battlefield of saving lives by any means necessary.

Will Fauci ever be held accountable?

Accountable for what? Be specific.

Indeed! Don’r admit guilt, fraud, and intentional harm.

We want consequences! And not for those who were vaccine-injured. Justice!
