As a doctor, albeit not a REAL doctor(just a vet), I will tell you 100% doctors are wrong. We are wrong a LOT...only our humility in admitting when we are wrong makes us good doctors. Physicians would do well to remember this.

I went to an American Soc. of Anesthesiologists' annual conference in 2019 as a vendor rep. There was a panel on Pediatric Transgender Anesthesiology which I eagerly attended with a colleague. The panelists were in all seriousness arguing that the younger the transgender surgery patient, the easier the recovery so by all means, earlier surgery should be considered if possible. NOT ONE out of ~50 attendees asked a question: "How young is too young?" or made any other objection. I was appalled; but as a vendor I was limited in participation. To this day I regret not standing up and yelling at those ghouls. In a room full of cowards.

Geez, what a shock. The AMA protecting big pharma poisons at all costs. He means vaccine indoctrination and lies must be preserved. Sorry Dr, your vaccine protocols are pure poison and need to be flattened...like in the next 15 days would be fine.

Ehrenfeld is a mouthpiece for a disgraced organization. He is only passing gas. (Pun intended.)

What the AMA recommends is the opposite of what we should do as free choice thinkers.

The AMA is a disgrace. I graduated from medical school in 1977 and I am proud to say that not once have I paid dues to them. And yet, they still send me bills every month.

I take great pride in the fact that I never joined the AMA.

I also don't know any doctors who joined the AMA; or at least, they are ashamed to admit it.

The last data that I knew of was that only 15% of doctors belong to the AMA and I believe that the real number is substantially less.

WHY? Because I graduated from Medical School in 1975 and ever 4 months since then I have received statements telling me that my dues are overdue. For the first few years I wrote back to them stating that I do not wish to affiliate with the AMA and to stop sending statements. But I am still getting them even though I retired in 2017.

THE REASON THAT THEY WILL NOT REMOVE MY NAME IS SO THAT THEY CAN CLAIM TO REPRESENT VIRTUALLY 100% OF AMERICAN DOCTORS, WHOSE DUES ARE JUST "OVERDUE." THE US GOVERNMENT IS TOO STUPID TO REALIZE THAT THEY ONLY PROBABLY RESPRESENT 10% IF THAT MANY.

The medical system is well beyond hope and completely worthless outside of emergency situations (non-infection related ones!).

Key words: LGBTQ, activist, AMA, Oregon, censorship:

The AMA has been a Leftist-activist organisation for decades. So it would be no surprise that Ehrenfeld, already having Leftist narratives to promote (and protect) would be chosen to head the AMA and co-author with a Pedi doc from OREGON to promote control (censorship) over said narrative(s). Just more bullshit manipulative activism, cloaked in a medical degree!

The past four years proved how against freedom the medicals are, and I'm done hearing excuses like "just following orders"

In the 90’s I had to deal with the California Medical Association. As a masters prepared nurse practitioner, myself and my colleagues had to raise money to fight the legislation by the CMA to inhibit our scope of practice. Despite studies showing NPs are as good as a physician and sometimes better. The CMA fought are ability to practice. I am pleased to say that today NPs are flourishing, have the right to practice independently and have the right to prescribe. A very big win for our profession. Nowadays most medical practices include offer care by a nurse practitioner. We have out specialties as well. I celebrate our success, I also know what the medical associations fear. Mainly, their livelihood.

The AMA, and too many medical organizations’ non-leadership, have revealed themselves to be pharma-whores.

How Ehrenfeld, particularly in view of his life experience, could advocate the delegitimization of the personal experiences of the many AND the thoughtful conclusions of those equally or better educated than himself is inconceivable.

He’s just another authoritarian “kiss up, kick down” cretin who enjoys the punitive aspects of power. There’s a lot of that going around these days in the decline of empire.

Besides, the AMA has always been this way, only the Covid debacle has provided them a louder voice.

This is not my father's AMA. (God rest his gentle soul.)

Regarding climate science, the questions around it are too dangerous to be left to the climate scientists to resolve. Let's instead trust the government, which is obviously better qualified to determine what is quality climate science.

Regarding the practice of medicine, there is too much at stake to leave decisions up to doctors. Let's instead trust the medical guidance of the government, because of their clearly superior comprehension of health and healing.

Regarding economics, it would be foolhardy to trust professional economists to guide policy when we have the government's superior expertise to assure best guidance.

This med-page article represents the apex of captured medicine. Hippocrates has been rolling in his grave for the past from years, and probably would benefit from Meclizine after reading this article.

I love that you stated this is a Constitutional Republic! So many get that wrong these days, at their convenience.
