In theory, it sounds great for people to become more political. Less dreary chatter about the weather and “football,” and more colleagues gathered around the water cooler, passionate about democracy and its joys. [emphasis, links added]
But the actual practice of this assumes that we all remain open-minded and curious, and that – unless we know a lot about something – all citizens’ opinions should be equal.
first, It doesn't pay attention to being arbitrary about things you're not good at – Just because you have a higher status than the person you are preaching to – This democratic dream was completely denied.
It just sets the stage for a symphony of officious stupidity.
I thought of this when I read that the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) released new guidance this week directing doctors to act as “trusted members of the community” in educating their poor patients about the dangers of climate change.
This is disturbing enough considering that the average face-to-face appointment with a GP in the UK (when you finally get one) is only 10 minutes.
Additionally, the 11-page document states that Doctors should create more anxiety for their patients by “working from home” and cutting back on tests and prescriptions—all in the name of saving the planet, of course.
So basically, the RCP is advising doctors to do less of what doctors have historically been asked to do, while increasing the scolding of areas in which they are not trained.
Also appeal to doctorsAfter scaring their patients with statements like burning rivers, Keep an eye out for those poor creatures showing signs of “ecological distress” – anxiety and depression allegedly caused by climate change.
I dare say that if this situation exists in large numbers, This is not caused by climate change itself, but by the debate over climate changeand other anxieties arising from not being able to get GP appointments, medical tests or prescriptions.
We haven’t quite reached those crazy Canucks stages yet.
2021, British Columbia doctor diagnoses woman with 'climate change' – Considered a world first – She reported having breathing problems after a series of forest fires during the hot summer. How many years in medical school did it take to come to this poignant conclusion?
Dr. Kyle Merritt believes:
'she has diabetes. she has some heart failure… SHe lives in a trailer without air conditioning. All her health problems worsened. And she really is Try to stay hydrated.'
However, I am sure we will eventually reach Canada's level. When a society is as hell-bent on scaring itself as Canadians on the Kool-Aid, we have no idea what rabbit holes we’ll race each other down.
This explains The RCP document showcases condescending gems from the World Health Organization, such as “Don’t argue the science” and “Talk about the health benefits of climate action.”
I wonder what health benefits “Just Stop Oil” has prevented people in ambulances from getting from action on climate change over the past few years?
The NHS is not only passionate about educating patients about climate change; It is also chasing the net-zero dream.
A rather chilling report published earlier this year telegraph disclose The NHS plans to roll out electric ambulances to meet green targets.
Healthcare workers have expressed concerns This would have dangerous implications for patients, as ambulances would spend hours charging instead of picking up patients.
Former Chancellor of the Exchequer Nigel Lawson once famously said: The NHS is the closest thing Britain has to a religion, turning doctors into priests. When the NHS itself follows new false gods ranging from climate change to trans rights, the stage is set for chaos for unbridled magical thinking.
Like the old priest, doctors are often no better than the rest of us. Often, it's worse. Most of them were probably motivated by a desire to improve the human condition – But the idea that they are somehow sacred vessels of wisdom is absurd.
I would listen to my doctor's advice about, say, dealing with a broken leg because I knew they were in their twenties researching the topic of disease and health while I was busy interviewing goofy pop stars. But to learn political or lifestyle lessons from them? no thanks.
