How Your Family Doc Became a Drug Enforcement Agent

Original Article

Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 4/21/2025 4:22:23 PM

Remember when your family doctor was actually your doctor? That quaint historical period when physicians made independent medical judgments instead of reading from pharmaceutical scripts? When they looked at you as a unique human being rather than a collection of compliance metrics needing correction? Those days are f--- gone. Today’s primary care physician is something entirely different—a pharmaceutical compliance officer with a prescription pad, a corporate protocol to follow, and overlords tracking their every move. They’ve transitioned from healers to hustlers, from medical professionals to medication pushers, from trusted advisors to glorified drug dealers with better parking. I recently had a conversation with a pediatrician that exposed the naked truth

This is pretty scary. I had a primary care doc (for one visit) that was really pushing another COVID shot on me, as well as a flu shot. I told her the COVID vaccines didn’t work, and she eventually left me alone after I agreed to a flu shot - which, I later discovered, was only 17% effective. That did it for me. I question EVERYTHING they say.

I have known this for years... even with my brother being a well respected family physician. In 1990 my blood pressure reading of 135/88 was considered 'high normal'. Today, that same reading would have an MD (Medicine Dealer) reaching for his script pad. Same thing with cholesterol. What was once deemed normal is now reason for the latest prescription. I am 67. I take low dose naltrexone as a prophylactic against inflammatory conditions. On no other meds. Turned down radiation and chemo 10 years ago for a cancer diagnosis, though I did have surgery. There are things that medicine can help but I would not be surprised that 90% of what is prescribed does more harm than good. BTW, by brother passed away in 2016... from a medical treatment that went bad.

# 2 - same thing going on with diabetes. I was diagnosed 18 years ago. Back then acceptable blood sugar was between 90-190 and an A1C of 7. Totally reachable numbers. Today, with an A1C of 5, and blood sugar of 115, my friend's doctor wanted to put her on insulin. Thankfully she refused. My son's was also 5 and he was told he's "pre-diabetic." No, he's fine. Diabetes meds are outrageously expensive. My shots are $1000/mo. But I truly was diabetic. There are millions who aren't but drs push the meds. Scary.

"My" cardiologist accidentally told me ta bit of truth one day when I mentioned some articles that I had recently read on NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine); that it might be good for preventing blood clots. He told me :"I can't allow you to try any drugs that aren't pre-approved by my Hospital."

#4 I take that for my lungs. My soon to be daughter in law who’s about 40 takes it too. She’s a nurse and looks very healthy. I recently entered the Medicare pipeline and the only actual drug I take is 5 mg of Amlodopine. Everything else is supplements. Oh I lied, I got put on gabapentin for a pinched nerve. Don’t tell me anything bad cause I sleep like baby on that stuff.

I got in a huge fight with my doctor over the original shingles vaccine. I knew several people who got that shot, and promptly developed shingles, so I refused, and told him why. He told me that the people were all immuno-compromised and that's why they got shingles. I asked him how the He77 he knew when he couldn't possibly know them (they all lived in another state). That shut him up, but he pouted. I didn't care, I fired him and never went back. Doctors probably hate my guts, but I refuse more meds than I take. One even asked me, "who's the doctor here???" I said, "you are, but it is my body, and that means I can veto treatments I don't agree with." (He was trying to put me on steroids for a sinus infection).

Todays Doctors work 9 to 5 for some medical outfit. They are allowed to spend 15 minutes with you, Mostly they send you from one quack that belong to the conglomeration to another quack that belongs. If you stay with that primary long enough you will meet the whole bunch. If you go to the hospital a "doctor walks in and says i am your doctor. Your Primary doesn't see you again or want to see you again until and unless you are lucky enough to survive The days when a Doctor needed a good reputation to get patients is long gone. Today you get passed around like an old dollar bill.

Warning: What I'm about to write may shock you, but I felt our readers needed to know exactly what kind of person Ivanka Trump, daughter of President Donald Trump, truly is. You might want to make sure you're sitting down for this. Last week, the first daughter took a vacation and spent time with her husband and children and some of her husband's family. Not only did they take a vacation, but they took it in Costa Rica, and they actually enjoyed themselves. They surfed, read books, rode horses, explored the beautiful nature the country has to offer... they even swam next to a waterfall.
SCOTUS Sides With Illegal Aliens Again 2 replies

The U.S. Supreme Court, following its shocking decision to block the Trump administration from deporting terrorist illegal alien gang members more quickly, has just issued another decision favoring illegals. Today, the court, according to Newsweek, “ruled that immigrants who agree to leave the U.S. voluntarily are entitled to deadline flexibility when the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday.” Because obviously illegal aliens who should never have been here to begin with deserve all the consideration in the world when authorities are kicking them out in line with the law, federal orders, and the will of We the People.

Sen. Peter Welch (D., Vt.) visited detained Columbia University activist Mohsen Mahdawi on Monday, calling him a "friend" and praising his work with "Jewish brothers and sisters" on Columbia's campus. In the wake of Oct. 7, Mahdawi said he could "empathize" with Hamas's decision to launch the attack and used a siren to drown out pro-Israel students protesting for the release of Israeli child hostages. Mahdawi, who, like fellow Columbia activist Mahmoud Khalil, saw the Trump administration revoke his green card, is at an immigration facility in Vermont as he fights his deportation.

The Supreme Court ruled that weekends and holidays cannot be counted when foreign nationals are given deadlines to leave the United States. In a split 5-4 decision, a majority of justices on the nation’s highest court ruled in favor of Hugo Abisai Monsalvo Velazquez, a Mexican national who had been living unlawfully in the U.S. for years and ordered deported. Velazquez successfully argued that his 60-day notice to leave the country — which ended on a Saturday — should have provided more flexibility for weekends and holidays.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) unleashed unprecedented criminal charges against members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, invoking a law that is best known for its use against the mafia in the fight against the foreign terror organization. Attorney General Pam Bondi and Matthew Podolsky, the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that it charged a total of 27 current and former Tren de Aragua members under the Racketeering Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) for the first time ever, marking a new development in how the federal government prosecutes the cartels. The indictment, Bondi says, will decimate the criminal network’s infrastructure.

The nine-person jury deliberated in Manhattan federal court for two hours before finding that the Grey Lady did not libel the onetime Republican vice presidential candidate. The Times, which corrected the editorial the day after it ran, had argued that Palin did not show that it met the high bar of “actual malice” needed to find media outlets liable for defamation.

The twelve-year reign of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis, as the head of the Roman Catholic Church began shortly after the strange and still-unexplained resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, and seven weeks into the second term of Barack Obama as president of the United States. It was fitting that Obama was president during the first four years of Francis’ papacy, as Francis was the Barack Obama of popes: just as Obama did as president of the United States, Pope Francis worked to weaken, instead of strengthen, the institution he was leading, and to provide aid and comfort to its enemies, while confusing and maddening its ardent supporters.
