However do you find the time to do all your research?? I, for one, am extremely grateful that you do. There is a vast body of research that demonstrates that the primary determinant in the healing process is the quality of the relationship between the practitioner and the patient, and that is now gone, in medicine, at least. I live in Te Awamutu (population 14 000) and in Sept tried to make an appointment to see "my" GP and was told there was nothing available until Dec. Ditto my second choice. They're all VERY busy. Pre-covid the longest wait was typically 2 - 3 weeks. Go figure.

Thanks for your support. Re GP appointments, it's a similar situation across the 'highly vaccinated' countries. Quite scary for those who don't understand what is happening I imagine.

The small number of those health professionals that wholly exited the system clinging to science, humanity and ethics now remain largely in limbo (or purgatory!) now looking at other means of achieving a livelihood. The majority of the populace remain clearly compliant and coerced cost, and by enforced and indoctrinated State dependence (ACC, insurance providers, political correctness, cultural "safety," DIE ideology, ESG compliance) and thus unwilling or through such dependence unable to step away from the system. The punters do not like the new system, nor do they care much for the patent delegitimising inhumanity. Instead, they will tolerate it because they are conditioned, trapped and held over a barrel.

The medical fraternity WILL be the new, check out your own groceries "system." The dopes don't realise ( or maybe they do, for a price) that AI is coming for them & their now, pitiful jobs. A BIG triage system on it's way according to where they ( the impersonal robot) tells you where you fit, Categories A, B,C & so on.

I asked the women at the post-office-now-post-shop-within-a-shop whether she thought behaving like an AI robot {apparently I needed to re-write a customs form for a package because I had ‘incorrectly’ written UK rather than United Kingdom} would likely lead to her losing her job, when it was taken over by an actual AI robot who was cheaper and easier to control. She told she didn’t want to talk about it. Nuff said. There is NO HOPE for these people.

I too think that will be the fate of most doctors, they will be replaced by AI - type your symptoms in and AI will pop out your pharmaceuticals. Clever enough to finish medical school but not clever enough to see their own actions are leading to their own demise.

"It weew change ewe!..." demented Klaus swab says. "Ewe weew eaT bugs." "ewe weew own not ting and be happy..". "IT WEEW CHANZE EWE..". You see, we've become their product. Try it.

Thank you for your research. Its a breath of fresh air to read in print (albeit on a screen) what I have seen and experienced over the last 10+ years. I was asked by a GP I had an appointment with, why people were choosing to go to naturopaths in favour of "medical science". I replied that obviously it was the personal contact, the naturopath would listen and ask pertinent questions and take a holistic view, rather than just a 10-minute, 'here's a prescription' consultation from a GP. I doubt whether he took it on board. I have sat in GP's offices and had them use WebMD and Google to look up symptoms, only to have to agree with me (I had previously done that myself of course). I have been told by a GP that he has to be careful what articles he reads in medical journals, in case he inadvertently reads something that doesn't go along with the mainstream accepted opinion. Our medical system has been in free-fall for so many years now, and the latest C-scam has helped in some ways in that it has now become more visible, just how pathetic it is. I refuse to go to a doctor, and have not signed up for any "app" and will not do so!

Great article, thank you so much!

Prior to the mandates I worked in dentistry for approximately 20 years.

I too like the more traditional way of establishing relationships with my patients. In my opinion it is the best way to help folks make meaningful changes to their health, as well as providing job satisfaction!

I asked to have my MMH records deleted a couple of years ago and the practice staff said they’d never been asked to do that so had no idea how. In the end I had to phone MMH in Australia and managed to sort it over the phone.

As others have mentioned, it took weeks to get an appointment with my preferred doctor, and the substitutes would use Google in clear view of me during the appointment to diagnose a skin condition/provide medical advice (which ultimately was incorrect).

The way things are going is very sad, but as consumers and patients we do always have the right to say “no”.

If enough of us stand up for what we want, I believe it can make a difference.

Blessings to all on Substack!
