Patient Modesty: Volume 87
EO, a visitor writing in the Comment section of Volume 86 of
this thread title has set the stage for further discussion-- particularly the
way male patients are treated within the medical system. I thought his
narrative would be appropriate to start this Volume. ..Maurice.
Though I am encouraged that many of the contributors to this
blog have become activists as regards affording male clients (patients) the
same rights as female clients when it comes to modesty/dignity, I see little
hope that the system will change in any broad or meaningful manner. There has
been some discussion regarding the corrupt corporate takeover of the
make’emsick (medical) industry and how this relates to discriminating against
male clients, but until the collusion between Big Pharma, private insurers,
federal and state governments, and healthcare providers is truly revealed and
100% amended, there will be no real change on the industry’s part as regards
the discrimination against male clients. Like the current swamp in D.C., the
make’emsick swamp is just too powerful and entrenched to be brought to
justice.
Wow! Thanks, PT, for bringing that incident to our attention, wherein a female hag made fun of a male urology patient’s pain level after a prostatectomy (I can only imagine that type of pain such as having a hysterectomy), called him a wuss, made fun of his career as a marine and other commentating hags told the student nurse to get used to because you’ll be gossiping about your patients like we do! Like you said, patient privacy suffers even more because “it’s attributable to what I call the hate factor, devoid of caring, devoid of advocating.” Most people go into the make’emsick industry for the money (and they think the prestige, but man are they fooling themselves here!). I’m sure hags are making ugly comments about clients about a zillion times a day!
That men would even have to think this way as one contributor has written, BESPEAKS VOLUMES about the abusive foundations of Western medicine: “Men will be afraid to come forward and take their case to its conclusion through the courts of public opinion and the criminal justice system out of fear of seaming weak in front of the world and out of fear of retribution from caregivers against those men currently in treatment.” Wow, that ill male clients are afraid (and justly so!) that caregivers will retaliate is abominable! How can a society accept such sordid scenarios? From the little I’ve had to read, female caregivers, especially the nursing hags, retaliate in many and vicious ways! Here’s just one little, minor example: A hospitalized male client refused the nursing hag’s “offer” of shower help (he was totally ambulatory) and angry she could not attend that peep show, she canceled his dinner! Nice, huh! One male has described hospitals as “humiliation factories” where males are “treated like farm animals.” This is a pretty apt analogy!
Banterings, my friend who was abused just wants to forget – he won’t file anything, and we’ve caught the physician in Medicare fraud – charging thousands for a program he did not attend. As you mentioned, he could file for “conspiracy or obstruction of justice… a criminal complaint,” but he won’t do it. This is a typical scimmer-scammer type of physician who opens tons of offices and stocks them with – I love your terms, PT – PAs (Physician Actors) and NPs ( Nurse Quacktitioners). I’ve done what I can with anonymous reports which I’m sure will go nowhere. Time for other avenues… As one contributor pointed out – that good men do nothing that evil prosper.

Maurice, you ask “WHAT IS IT ABOUT PATIENT MODESTY that has
attracted so much interest by visitors and writers for this blog? There are so
many other life and death topics throughout this blog and yet with them the
number of responses from visitors is relatively trivial (though, to me, they
are also important and worthy of responding to) but WHY PATIENT MODESTY leads
the way and continues to do so?’ Banterings mentioned “social justice” as a
reason, and others have indicated the damage that is rendered to male clients
re modesty concerns as an assault on one’s very soul, etc. I must concur with
both. However, to the make’emsick industry ( I can no longer even call it the
sickcare industry since this past year two friends have suffered terribly at
the hands of inept surgeons, one losing permanent vision in one eye and the
other losing a leg!) male modesty is of trivial concern at the most. Thus, we
must ask – why is this so? It is pure common sense that dictates that same sex
or gender concordant care (something about the term is rather a put off – just
call it what is in plain speech) should be not even questioned, but rather same
sex teams should be automatically assigned to clients and if they wish, then opposite
sex or mixed gender teams would be arranged. Others here have written of this.
This automatic assignment of same gender would put an end to many modesty
violations, and as others have written should be codified into federal law that
all facilities, whether hospitals or private clinics (if they accept
Medicare/Medicaid payments and who doesn’t!) then Title VII dictates that same
gender providers for intimate care is ALWAYS PROVIDED. Man, will the nursing
hags be disappointed when they can’t run around to peep at whomever they
choose!
So, we’ve seen that all the meaningless platitudes of “we’re all professionals,” “standard of care,” “patient dignity is respected,” – the “fake core ethics” as PT noted - and etc. can be seen as nudging/bullying. Recall the stats on colonoscopies and that scam! Well, I’d like to introduce a term that is bandied about as an excuse for whatever the provider wants to do – EBM (evidence based medicine). It is this term that the make’emsick industry shoves down our throats. TALK ABOUT NUDGING! It was probably John Ioaniddis’ 2005 article in PLOS, “Why Most Published Research Findings Are False,” that really brought the false narratives of EBM into the public arena: http://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.0020124.
Here’s a quick overall read: https://medium.com/@drjasonfung/the-corruption-of-evidence-based-medicine-killing-for-profit-41f2812b8704
I encourage people to read the latest reports of Big Pharma’s fraud, there’s plenty to read out there, and you’ll wonder why people would take any pharmaceutical after educating yourself of their deceptive practices. One of my “favorites” is the bogus medical journal they created in Australia, which promoted certain new drugs. And, be sure to read about the Rockefellers and how they helped to create the AMA and how many safe and USEFUL alternative therapies and practitioners were run to ground/banned. Rockefeller saw a HUGH opportunity to profit from the pharmaceutical poison model, and not so coincidentally this ugly monopolization occurred at the same time he was monopolizing the oil industry.
And here we are today, the richest nation on the planet with (outside of hellholes such as Syria and others) the worst health outcomes. Hmmmm, why could this be?

One of my major points is that the current foundation of the
make’emsick industry is based on giving dangerous poisons (pharma drugs) to
supposedly “manage” chronic conditions (all “evidence based” yippy!), and
conducts significantly more tests (often harmful!) but look at how low US
“health” care ranks among developed nations –one of the lowest in terms of
infant mortality, life expectancy, emotional and physical health, etc. and is
headed lower! We had been discussing the useless DRE (and PSA) tests and how
Albin regards the PSA test. Let’s look a little closer at this example of
nudging. One expert cited by Ablin says perhaps half of the urologists in the
United States would go bankrupt without the gold rush of prostate-removal
surgery that followed the PSA discovery. “When a 50-year-old man went for his
yearly physical,” explains Ablin, “he routinely had a PSA test, quite often
without his knowledge. The level of his PSA could propel him into the prostate
cancer industry . . . the prostate gland is at the epicenter of a worldwide
trillion-dollar industry and the PSA test as its kingpin. Think of PSA as oil.
If the test were made irrelevant, an industry would crumble. You don’t have to
be a conspiracy theorist to grasp what the stakeholders will do to keep this
industry booming.” Guys, you may wish to read his book: The Great Prostate
Hoax: How Big Medicine Hijacked the PSA Test and Caused a Public Health
Disaster" by Richard J. Ablin and Ronald Piana. Here’s where I found
mention of it:

So, how to reform a Frankenstein-like industry ruled by Big Pharma whose private, monetary interests are sanctioned and ENFORCED by the state (via the make’emsick industry) and in some arenas are not subject to any usual redress via the legal system? How many men abused by nursing hags have sought justice in a court of law? Not too many, as we have witnessed time and time again, and of course the events that make it to the news most likely reflect 1/10 of 1% of such events. As it appears that most morons go into the make’emsick for the income (and yes we must include female hags that go into it for the viewing of naked males), we return to REL’s line of reasoning, that is, we must attack their money/income just as they attack vulnerable, ill male clients. We see that it is VERY effective to boycott certain companies for needed changes. I must disagree, Maurice, that the abusive events are rare – they are most certainly not! If they were, this blog would not exist! Now this is from some 6 months ago, but here’s a team in Bolivar dancing about mocking a naked male patient on the operating table, here’s one of the links: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/doctors-nurses-fired-after-outrageous-10112888
It seems Western “medicine” (vomit) is conducive to patient abuse, no matter the geographical area. And perhaps we must come to the conclusion that the make’emsick industry is but a reflection of a society in steep decline. I do ask this: What is it about Western medicine (as opposed to other systems of medicine) that so objectives clients and is overrun with degenerates, whether nursing hags sexually abusing male clients, doctors’ semen ending up on female colonoscopy patients, or hags stealing hospitalized clients pain meds, etc. etc. ad infinitum?

Now, male clients that value their modesty and want to have
the same consideration as female clients have been referred to as outliers. I
don’t believe this is true, but the make’emsick industry certainly promotes
this incorrect idea. That it does so actually tells us that this industry is
well aware of this issue, but desires to hide it by distorting the facts.
Besides the obvious sexual urges of many workers, especially the female nurses
(humiliation of a male client does make for some great convo in the break
room!), that many females in managerial positions responsible for their nursing
brigades and the hiring, protect the female nurse and discriminate in yet
another way against males by not hiring male nurses - this discrimination is
against male clients as well as male nurses. And, that physicians allow their
office managers to hire almost all if not all female MAs, techs, etc. informs
us that they don’t care about the modesty/dignity of their male clients.
I disagree that modesty violations are not sexual abuse – they certainly are! Like the hags telling a male patient to take off all clothes for an EKG and then being terrible disappointed when they flung open the gown to not being able to peep as underwear were still on or the hag threatening a hospitalized client with having a guard perform a rectal swab – these are sexual abuse incidents! They should be treated as such! One writer mentioned having non-medical groups that serve as watchdogs and this is surely needed!
And PT, thanks for the detailed info on just how non-sterile/filthy operating rooms are. I didn’t even think of the cigarette chemicals invading open wounds and until recently thought that the make’emsick industry was really trying for clean ORs. Call me naïve but I thought the surgical teams changed scrubs between surgeries but instead track everything from the last (perhaps infected) surgical client to germs from the cafeteria and cigarette chemicals and the effluvia from a flushing toilet to the next surgical victim (client)!
Sorry, but I think I am extremely disappointed (yeah, okay, angry) that so many male clients won’t speak up for themselves, but will accept this situation. However, a recent poll by Anthem shows at least 60% of males will not return to a female provider after seeing one for the first time. I was skimming some blog (maybe Allnurses) last week that had female providers discussing how to retract the foreskins of male children and adults. Why would they think that this is just fine and dandy when so many young men are humiliated and mortified by these kinds of (usually unnecessary!) exams, and this leads to not only avoiding the make’emsick industry altogether (actually, most people will be healthier by avoiding the industry), but leaves many with lifelong emotional scars? Hmmm…. And until recently, these medical morons in the US, especially the females, didn’t know it could harm a male child or teenager to have his foreskin prematurely retracted – that is – ripped down! Stupid is as stupid does…

Perhaps I (and others I know) are the true outliers. I have
absolutely zero trust in the make’emsick industry and its workers, wherever
they are on the scale, from physicians to NAs/MAs. As I have 30-60 IQ points on
the average physician (I come from a long line of physicists and
philosopher/poets and the two arenas are not as different as they may seem as
they both permit for highly critical thinking abilities), why would I trust
someone who is hopelessly corrupted by a false medical model? I would only
consult an MD (would never accept a PA or NP) in extremis, armed with a
protector (advocate) and my attorney’s number on speed dial! And though I may
need a diagnosis, for the most part there is nothing these physicians could
offer me outside their regime of dangerous pharmaceuticals and many times
equally as dangerous surgery. I won’t go into detail as this is a blog for male
dignity, but suffice to say I have lifelong health issues due to individual
providers’ malpractice as well as the industry’s widespread practices that are
making so many of us, especially our children, damaged for life. And, many
decades ago, I was abused on several occasions. I remember hitting one male
doctor and he wheeled around and scurried out of the exam room like the dirty
little rat he was! I was just a young thing at the time, and tried to forget
it, but the awful feelings are still with me decades later. So, I have some
personal experience in this area as well.
Now, the fact that medical “care” (can one scream and vomit at the same time?) is seen as the third leading cause of death in the US is old hat – some 2 decades years outdated. The true fact of the matter is the make’emsick industry is the LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH and everyone from Big Pharma, individual providers, and hospitals are fighting not to have the Codes updated so as to truly reflect actual causes of harm and death. (Look it up –the real stats are out there for those that wish to take the time to research.) Their facilities would be almost empty! I can tell ya, folks, people like me just don’t go! A yearly physical exam is out of the question! As regards nudging I call it bullying/propaganda, and if any medico tried to convince me that a certain drug, vaccine, or procedure is considered “standard of care” (The Exorcist vomit!) depending on the provider’s attitude I might very well consider this bullying and would respond appropriately. And here’s the point: Using useless and meaningless terms such as “evidence based medicine,” “standard of care,” “we’re all professionals,” “patient dignity is respected” etc. is nudging/bullying, more, it is lying.
I’ll briefly mention one more example of the lies of EBM, that of enhanced MRIs. Talk about a euphemism! The EU has restricted/banned many GBCAs as yes gadolinium is deposited in the brain, bodily organs, and bones, and has harmed untold numbers but now people are waking up to this particular scam and are suing: http://www.ema.europa.eu/ema/index.jsp?curl=pages/medicines/human/referrals/Gadolinium-containing_contrast_agents/human_referral_prac_000056.jsp&
But of course the good ole’ FDA though it admits GBCA are deposited in the brain finds no evidence that heavy metals in the brain (and other areas of the human body) are damaging! Like radiation, heavy metals are incredibly damaging and yep I’ve got another friend permanently damaged by multiple “enhanced” MRIs. That PAs and NPs as well as PCPs are ordering these dangerous tests leads us back to the lies of EBM and of course, good old fashioned greed. Physicians admit to ordering over a million unneeded tests per annum for the kickbacks but we know this figure is much higher. This does not occur in other medical systems where kickbacks are not allowed.
So, we have a false medical model, an industry that does significantly more harm than good, and mostly female medical workers doing their best to peep on male clients, all topped off with a huge dose of greed! What’s not to trust?
Thanks for listening…
