Humans with medical degrees that exercise this degree of self reflection are rare. Respect bro. High Five. :)

Thank you so much for sharing your poignant story.

The doctors in my family , I believe , chose their specialties wisely. PATHOLOGY AND RADIOLOGY.

Just wow. You are a reflective, moral doctor. A jewel.

As for the rest of your colleagues, I fervently pray for reprising the Nuremberg trials for doctors.

It must have been so painful for you to commit your thoughts to paper. I am in awe of you. Thank you so much!

But you ARE an excellent writer...I so enjoyed reading through your real life experiences. That climbing photo will give me nightmares tonight though haha !

On a side note, I'd love to know what your doctor confreres think of Newsome's latest dictates which intrude shamefully on their Dr/Patient relationships. Can Drs. with any integrity go along with this ?

That is heart breaking. I watched my ex succumb to the machine. What a waste of talent. Worse yet a waste of a life.

I just listened to Dr. Delores Cahill video who addressed the transfusion issue for the unvaxed. She said she is working on a system where unvaxed can join, and if they were to need a transfusion of their blood type, it could be found from among this group. It sounds promising!!! Your story is very interesting. So glad a new medical whistleblower is on board!!! Looking forward to reading your book! Ty for contributing to turning this nightmare world around🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.

My late husband told me a story about 20 years ago. His general PCP of many years confided in him about the new young Drs. at his practice “All they cared about was expensive big houses & cars…”.

I might have to check your book out. I’ve been on the other side of the table for many decades with multiple adverse events to orthopaedic implants(spinal).

When you have an adverse event to a medical device in New Zealand it’s as though you become an enemy of the state. I’ve had a strong interest over the last few decades in figuring out why specialists suddenly run the other way if you have an adverse event.

I want to write a book but neurological injury and allergy to bone cement prevents that at the moment.

I wrote a Substack in May on the bad culture in the nz health system and it’s role in the breakdown of civilised society. Based on my experiences and what I discovered

Well done for cancelling your medical license and speaking out! A specialist with high morals seems to be a rarity these days.

Bob, I love the transparency. My fave lines: "After a year, they exposed me as a poseur and kicked me out." "By the end, I was contemptuous of my peers and what medicine had become. And I knew that although I had taken care of my family, I had wasted my potential by playing doctor all my life."

You are doing us all a great service - by speaking out and whistle-blowing about the general, background problems with medicine and healthcare, it is more likely to wake others up not to trust what the system is telling us about covid.

I think you missed your true calling. You are a mesmerizing story teller.

My ex was an unconventional medical student and cardiologist.

I believe he’s still employed—and that’s disappointing, for sure.

I don’t think I can admire any medical professional who stayed, unless they’re doing all they can to undermine the evil they have to work with every day.

Long before Covid I’ve had to become my own Doctor. After seeing many of them throughout my life, I had to figure out on my own in my mid 40s I have a genetic connective tissue disorder (EDS). They all missed the obvious clues. I’ve had other very bad experiences with them as well, such as when a Chiropractor violently ruptured a disk in my neck, requiring a titanium plate, four screws and a donor bone. But I have to ultimately thank my blood clotting disorder, Factor V Leiden, for at least giving me one good thing, aside from a near fatal DVT at 21: I knew injecting a Spike Protein into my already damaged vascular system would be madness.

Along most of the Pandemic, my current Doctor constantly begged me to get the Jab, and I had to explain to him repeatedly why I would never do so. Now he’s uncharacteristically subdued and quiet. He asks me about my experience with IVM each time I see him. He finally knows what some of us knew all along.

Being a Patient always is a risk, I’ve learned the hard way. But at least I’ve put my lessons to work. This Pandemic has pulled the curtain back on the inner workings of those we know, as well as ourselves. I respect the work it takes to become a Doctor or any other medical professional. It’s time they respect the work it takes to stay alive and well as a Patient.

You're a gifted storyteller. Keep it up! An aside: I had several friends who attended Oberlin and I might have partied there a few times :-) Beautiful campus.
