The majority of people involved in health reform groups are Doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, naturopaths and pharmacists. They seen the day to day issues in the health industry. These include high levels of unnecessary medical errors, massive price gouging and a lack of concern for patients actual experiences as they travel through (an often bumpy ride) through the hospital system.
Like their patients, Doctors have very little real power.
They are often unable to discuss a range of different treatment options with their patients. They are sometimes restricted by financial contracts in the clinics they work in, to only refer patients to specific pathology and radiology clinics and hospitals. Virtually no Doctor has any idea of the out of pocket costs patients will incur if they agree to the tests and treatments they recommend.
Protocol-based medicine has taken over healthcare, particularly in the past twenty years.
Centralized treatment pathways are being dictated by unknown boards of bureaucrats, many of whom have deep financial ties to the pharmaceutical and hospital industry. Any attempt to vary from these rigid ‘one size fits all’ results in disapproval by colleagues and managers.
Some Doctors receive visits from ‘fake patients’ who are in fact undercover investigators working for health bureaucrats, monitoring what information they are giving out.
Spending too much time with patients, not prescribing enough pharmaceutical drugs and recommending diet or lifestyles changes over medical intervenes can result in investigations, fines and ultimately, deregisteration.
The higher you go up the public or private health bureaucracy, the less chance you have of finding someone with a medical degree, let alone any clinical experience.
For example the current head of the World Health Organisation has no medical or science qualifications at all. Instead is he a life long bureaucrat history includes working with a violent Marxist group in his home country. He also has spent years working with the Gates Foundation, a multi billion dollar NGO that owns shares in many vaccine patients while also running the worlds largest vaccine authority.
In this current environment of top down control, geo-political maneuvering and compromised financial interests, many Doctors have turned away from centralist bureaucracies.
These health reform groups tend to espouse healthy lifestyles over a lifetime of pharmaceutical drugs, the right for Doctors to make independent decisions regarding each individual patient’ treatment and the right to demand independent scientific analysis on all tests and treatments.
