Medical Doctors Can and Must Resist Health System Demolition

Demolition of the UK’s National Health Service is well described in two documentaries released in 2019: The Great NHS Heist, written and produced by English General Practitioner Dr Rob Gill and The Dirty War on the NHS by Australian investigative journalist John Pilger. Both illustrate the evolution of the UK National Health Service (NHS), from its inception in 1945 until events of today, brought to the fore by the covid crisis.

Societal destruction caused by the covid response has further exposed the corporate capture of our health systems, and the potential for harm that this can lead to, as focus on profit overrides all else. In a January 2023 interview, Dr Rob Gill detailed the demolition of the NHS since the 2008 financial crash, describing a “catastrophically outsourced privatised pandemic response“, which shifted wealth to the corporate world whilst actively dismantling public health infrastructure.

Population health levels have plummeted as a consequence. A recent report by the Australian Bureau of Statistics has recorded an additional 500,000 disabilities in the population between 2018 and 2022. This is consistent with rigorous data analysis from the UK and USA suggesting medical harm as a significant cause, which continues to be denied and ignored by officials embedded in public-private partnerships.

Come and Get Your Smear …

The success of this corporatised response relies upon censorship and smearing of anyone suggesting alternative ways to handle a pandemic. Across the globe medical and health professionals have been, and continue to be, picked off one by one in an aggressive crusade to silence discussion and debate, replacing basic human rights, common sense, medical ethics and evidence with a profitable business model using fraudulent science and incentivised compliance.

Brief examples of many include attacks on eminent infectious disease epidemiologists, Professor Sunetra Gupta of Oxford University and Professors Jay Bhattacharya and John Ioannidis of Stanford University. In normal circumstances their expertise would have been actively sought. Instead, they faced ridicule, character assassinations and censorship. Professor Bhattacharya shared his experience with government misinformation and censorship at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Free Speech Alliance in April 2024.

To this day World Health Organization (WHO) representatives such as non-medical Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and non-clinician Dr Ashley Bloomfield continue to smear critics as “conspiracy theorists“ without addressing the substance of criticisms. Simultaneously they are embedding requirements to fight misinformation and disinformation into their planned legislative changes, under the misconception that they are somehow the ‘single source of truth’.

Why, We Wonder?

It is now evident that a global health system structure is planned by the United Nations (UN) under the leadership of WHO, as the specialised health agency of the UN. The method of implementation appears to involve piloting different plans in different locations to identify issues and refine the global architecture.

For example, the New Zealand government have contracted with the World Economic Forum’s Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution to run a pilot project aimed at designing regulatory frameworks for artificial intelligence, which seems to involve giving governments and their corporate partners full ownership of all population data.

The dismantling of the NHS is very likely also a ‘pilot project’ to be implemented across the globe once processes can be refined. As an integral part of robust, evidence based, ethical practice, medical doctors and public health scientists have been a very clear target in the dismantling of health systems. At no time in living history have we known so many doctors to be removed from their careers and hurtled into legal battles for practicing medicine competently but independently of pharmaceutical industry demands.

The Rot Set In Very Early

This is a historical repeat of events in America last century, when John D Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie employed Abraham Flexner to travel the USA and document the status of medical colleges and hospitals. The resulting 1910 Flexner Report recommended centralising medical schools and reoriented medicine which had until then included many different modalities (such as herbs, homeopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture), towards the petroleum-based pharmaceutical paradigm, providing Rockefeller with an outlet to profit from the by-products of his petroleum refineries.

Medical school is a long and arduous journey requiring academic commitment applied in practical clinical settings, then with continuous professional development throughout an individual’s career. Registration as a medical doctor involves a five to six year degree, then pre-registration work in approved hospitals, generally for one or two years. Specialist training then begins, including towards primary care/general practice. Throughout training the emphasis is on diagnostic skills including history-taking and clinical examination, differential diagnosis, investigations and then which procedures or pharmaceuticals – if any – to use.

The art of medicine is not just a nice-to-have, but very relevant to clinical outcomes.  It only comes with experience, and via skilled teaching from wise and learned seniors. It involves the application of ethics and fiduciary obligations; knowing when and how to listen, watch and wait, without necessarily intervening; safety-netting, and engaging other colleagues; understanding our biases and blind spots and, most crucially, learning to self-master and keep a cool head. 

Despite almost zero training in nutrition and environmental influences on health – which would help enormously to prevent diseases, and get to their root causes – skilled and compassionate doctors would seem still indispensable as the core of any effective health care system.

New Zealand GPs Asleep At The Wheel

New Zealand general practice once provided a cost-effective gate-keeper role, but it has utterly failed to understand the avalanche of metabolic-derangement disease – obesity, diabetes, heart disease and the like – because there was no money provided to teach nutritional influences on health. But Ministry bean-counters saw that primary care was failing to stop hospital costs skyrocketing, and so GP-land has suffered a clawback, a piecemeal erosion of its mixed core business of acute and chronic care, in favour of the community pharmacy / paramedic / rural nurse practitioner model.

Representatives of these professions are over-recruited into the MoH at the expense of doctors having an adequate voice at the policy and planning table. It seems pharmacists are cheaper at providing emergency contraception, UTI management, anticoagulant monitoring, and many previously prescription-only meds are now available over the counter. Of course committed nurses can be trained up to provide adequate clinical care too, but primary care doctors will lose skills, variety, and some ‘quick and easy stuff’ which helps pay the bills. They will be left with complex chronic psychosocial, functional and environmental illness which they are not skilled to manage, or even recognise.

General practice certainly has itself to blame, partially at least, for sleeping at the wheel. And not to speak of it being relegated to heroic covid jabbers, swabbers and contact tracers since actual covid treatments were bizarrely (and illegally) banned by some pharma industry shills that lead medicine. Despite these failings though, can many years of training and experience be safely jettisoned, simply because other layers of health worker can do some of the  work cheaper?

Robodocs?

The nation’s GPs are not the only ones who may be on the endangered species list, as many take early retirement or simply walk away in disgust at the last 4 years.  

In September 2023 the British Medical Association published a Position Statement on Physician Associates and Anaesthesia Associates, outlining safety concerns. These roles, being significantly expanded across the NHS, require a two year training course. Issues lie with the title which blurs the distinction between doctors and non-medically qualified professionals; plans for them to be regulated by the General Medical Council (responsible for regulating doctors); an unfair pay structure which values junior doctors less than junior Physician Associates; and patient safety concerns relating to all of the above.

The past four years have shown that the medical profession is under threat of being downgraded from a skills-based independent profession to mere adherents of protocols written by financial sponsors placed to benefit from de-skilled, obedient servants. Indeed, the robodocs are already being installed.

Cui Bono?

The World Health Organization play a vital role in this health system demolition. Partnering with other globalist organizations including the World Economic Forum and International Association of Medical Regulatory Authorities (IAMRA), WHO has morphed into a corporate sponsored crime boss.

Chaired by New Zealand Medical Council’s own management studies graduate Joan Simeon, IAMRA claims to be “connecting medical regulators around the world“. In fact, the role of this centralised group is to enforce protocol-driven medicine which delivers cookie-cutter pharma-based care. Individualised options for health service delivery are outlawed and the control that the pharmaceutical industry has over practitioners, and the lives of every citizen, is intensified. IAMRA’s funding is opaque, but it’s authoritarian influence over many countries medical regulators, and censorship of dissenting doctors, suggests big business is getting exactly what it pays for. 

Until the medical and allied health care professions join forces in a coordinated challenge against this organised crime, public health will remain commoditised for profit. Population health outcomes will continue to suffer as a result; and professional ethics and scientific evidence will remain crushed under the weight of basic human rights violations.

Watch: Update on Physician Associates Scandal

In this short exposé, Peter Stefanovic covers the UK Physician Associates Scandal, in which less qualified staff are used as GP substitutes, at the cost of human health and life. We have to wonder, did they do any worse in resisting the covid corporate fascism than actual GPs did?
