I Don’t Get It

What’s to get? They hate you and want to replace you with substandard shit-tier people that they can exercise more control over. They don’t have to give a shit about quality either, as they have an effective monopoly. The very same thing is being done by all the major institutions of this fake and ghey dysfunctional economic zone masquerading as a country.

I hate to point this out (again) because I know healthcare is your bread and butter. But bigger picture, the healthcare industry in this country – as we’ve known it for the course of our lifetimes so far – is toast. It is simultaneously being squeezed from multiple angles. The first is unrestrained runaway costs that have made it unaffordable to an ever increasing number of people, irrespective of “insurance” or socialized payment for care (for some).

It’s reason for existence is now to extort and asset strip all who come into contact with it. Yes, it is still capable of delivering some actual useful care amidst it’s larger general mission of simply managing symptoms for profit and legally pushing drugs, but that is predicated on the efforts of people like yourself; the competent and capable who know what they are doing and actually care. The very same people those who administer the business are flippantly pushing out.

That’s the second big squeeze, the loss of talent, skill and knowledge. And it is picking up steam as those properly trained and fit to do the job are now either retired/retiring, or are getting disillusioned with the career and bowing out from frustration and burnout. COVID accelerated this quite noticeably.

The third big squeeze is loss of trust. The handling of COVID has created a large contingent of people who simply won’t blindly trust medical practitioners anymore. They may seek care where it is absolutely needed for an acute injury or condition that cannot somehow be self treated, but will otherwise shun the whole shitshow. I’ve avoided all routine contact with doctors for two plus decades now, but for much of that time I was an outlier.

Not so much anymore though, as people saw the fatally flawed standard of care for COVID that was enforced by the govt, and the profits taken by hospitals who were given perverse incentive in the form of effective bounties paid for maximizing the diagnosis of COVID cases, COVID deaths, and denying any access to treatments that are proven to work, like ivermectin. It was all ventilators and remedesivir, come hell of high water, under pain of license revocations, firings and lawsuits.

And the outcomes of that were predictably bad because the hospitals went along with the narrative to cover their asses and make money. This has left a permanent stain on the whole industry in the minds of many. That effect is still growing, incidentally, as people have their moment of clarity on the death of a loved one that can be presumed – even if not proven – to be from the shitshots. Future fertility issues and probable brith defects as yet undiscovered will drive this distrust further still.

Add to that the disgusting insult of the industry now giving full throated support to the physical mutilation and psychological destruction of children – and adults for that matter – by ruining their bodies and minds, denying them any opportunity to ever experience normal sexuality or ability to reproduce, which are all byproducts of the myth of transfaggotry. These “medical practitioners” are literal butchers, their work is on par with the likes of Mengele and Japan’s infamous Unit 731 during WWII. And the “most respected” (their assertion, not mine) institutions of medicine in the FUSA have gone all in on promulgating this lie, and taking profits on inflicting further and irreversible misery on those tortured souls who end up under their influence and in their operating rooms.

Taken all together, modern medicine as practiced in what now passes for western civilization is a dead man walking. It is unsustainable on the costs alone. Adding the ever growing loss of competence and credibility to that are the nails in the coffin that will ensure its collapse. The presence of a remainder of those like you, who can still meet the standards and objectives that once made our medical industry the envy of the world, will not be enough to avoid it’s ruination. It is on the same trajectory as government, corporations, major organized religions, the education racket and the military industrial complex. They are all hopelessly converged and captured by unrepentant freaks and fuckups who actively seek the destruction of these institutions. The good guys are outnumbered, and are being rooted out either by the slow bleed of attrition, or by spectacularly flaming out when they just can’t stand it anymore.

Consider this also: despite record breaking expenditure on healthcare, Americans are the unhealthiest they’ve ever been, though admittedly that is largely the result of poor diet, laziness and other bad habits. Just as with public “education” churning out the largest percentage of functionally illiterate (I’m looking at you chicagodishu and baltimore) and useless dumbfucks ever in their existence. Just as religion no longer preaches that which is scripturally sound, but rather what is politically and socially expedient, and therefore fails to impart morality in most of those who claim to be adherents to a faith of one denomination or another. It’s mostly pretend bullshit, claiming to be something it isn’t. And it continues to get worse, with no reason whatsoever to expect a reversal of the trend.

100 times yes.

A lot of healthcare has recently been “invested in” by equity groups.

Everything starts out OK–the hospital/practice/clinic/whatever gets some extra cash to expand or improve their services….but after a year or so, they start turning the screws. Demanding more and more money, trying to get the practice to make repayments with more equity in the business. Eventually they own enough of you and they squeeze every last penny from you and throw away the husk. Over the past 8 years, I watched a highly successful group of 35 practices shrink down to 28, 21, 16, and now 13 practices. A few months ago they said we “missed our targets” on some deal, fired all the C-level staff, and told all the doctors “here’s the new contract, sign it or get out”. Nearly every single doctor left. Nearly every single doctor decided to open their own practices within a few blocks. Nearly every single doctor took 4 or 5 of the most competent staff out of every office.

…and surprisingly there was nothing in the policy manual or contracts about “not telling patients where you were going”, so for last few months they have all been telling patients “I know I’ve been seeing you for the last 18 years, but I’m leaving at the end of the month to go work at Dr. so-and-so’s new clinic down the street.”

The number of patients have plummeted. When called and asked “we have you on the schedule for your XYZ treatment next week, we just wanted to confirm your appointment”…over 50% have said “Oh, go ahead and cancel it, we’re going to do it at Dr. so-and-so’s new clinic.”

Instead of bringing in a nice 12-15 million ever month, they’re averaging 2-3 million every month.

Everything’s in chaos. They said “get revenue up or we’re shutting your office down and selling it off”. That had the wonderful effect of prompting the remaining staff to go look for other jobs.

One office is completely un-staffed with an HR drone sitting there fielding phone calls and trying to figure out how to field records requests at the risk of being fined thousands of dollars for not fulfilling it.

The sad thing is that I’m seeing in more and more in larger healthcare settings. The small mom-and-pop single-office doctors have been getting screwed by insurance companies for years, but they have better staff and happier patients. They also don’t have investment or equity groups hanging over their heads demanding more and more money every month.

Hell–last week at one of the equity groups, I was told to *not* renew antivirus on all the desktops because it “cost too much”. They’re literally running a network of 600 machines with zero protection against losing patient data…but the investment group just reported pretty good earnings for Q1.

Absolutely brutal. Not being in the business (I’m just a lowly tradesman) I hadn’t given much thought to how the doctors and other practitioners were also getting financially wrecked by the greedy bastards in the investment groups buying it all up to financially exploit. So I guess we can count that as fourth point of attack against the industry. Squeezed from all sides, and all the more reason I don’t see it lasting much longer in it’s current form.
