Anti-magnetizing-vaccine doctor loses medical license

good. this is why i always get a 2nd opinion on things if something doesn’t sound right. as far as i’m concerned, having a license means that you can pass a test, that’s it. nothing more.

I was one of those 350 complaints. Submitted one after her ridiculous testimony.

This is the state of medicine in this country: she wasn’t even censured for being obviously batshit insane, just for refusing to submit to the medical boards investigation.

The state medical board indefinitely suspended her license Wednesday, saying she refused for over two years to cooperate with the board’s investigation of over 350 complaints against her, which suggested possible violations of state medical regulations.

That's what I don't get. She had to have studied physics, and magnetism. Microbiology, virology, and vaccines would all have been in her curriculum. What happened? The license wasn't suspended because of all that, tho'. It was the doctors unwillingness to cooperate with her state medical board, given they had 350! complaints against her license. As a licensed physician, for reasons related to our oath of practice, and as a small business person, for reasons of not sending the business one has built over years over a cliff, I just cannot comprehend this doctor's actions. smh.

I’ve observed something for awhile, and I’m not quite sure how to explain it.

I work in a hospital. Not part of the clinical staff, I’m in a support role. I’ve listened to some of the clinical staff say extremely odd things given the education they had to go through to get where they are. They had to have absorbed some of the curriculum while in med school, so they had some level of understanding of the science behind it. They are textbook smart, but there seems to be some odd disconnect between what they’ve learned in school and their applied knowledge in the real world. It’s very bizarre and I don’t know if I’m explaining what I mean very well…

Here's what I see going on: Sort of an educational drift. There's been a lot for stress, particularly for medical professionals over the past 3-7 years. Humans have this need to be 'in the know', not just to know things, but to know them before, or more thoroughly than our peer group, or community. Especially smart people, which leads us to a host of logical flaws (which one should study and seek to eradicate) because if they are not guarded against, they can be used for the purpose of manipulation. Unless one has been completely disconnected from the internet, and news media, one has been subjected to a huge application of all sorts of disruptive propaganda over this time. Sherri Tenpenny succumbed to this propaganda, perhaps making a bunch of money in the process, and she didn't want to give that status up, so she resisted her state medical board. But you can't practice without a license, they will literally bring you to court, and possibly even lock you up in jail, fine you, etc. We're all subject to these same flaws in our thinking, as they are an epiphenomenon of our very nervous systems.

This “educational drift” you describe is why I technically have to get recertified by CompTIA at regular intervals. Technology changes, and so their exam objectives adapt to said changes, and so I am supposed to take the test every few years to remain “certified”. But I don’t, because a lot of this stuff can just be googled and the risk is low, assuming you don’t fall into any of the really deep but obvious pitfalls.

This, however, is dangerous misinformation. How on earth there isn’t some regular testing to retain licensing is beyond me. Or am I misunderstanding, and there actually is?

Memorization is a skill humans are generally really, really good at. If you put in enough time, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to regurgitate what you put in, both in words and actions. That’s enough to get you through most schooling. When you step outside of memorization is when people like this run into trouble.

Surgical tech here. This shit is prevalent at every level of every job. The last few years have taught us not to automatically respect the title “doctor” - they can be extremely knowledgeable in the context of their field, but still a fucking dumbass in other areas. This is true of nurses, techs, admins, you name it.

Generally you can trust what your orthopedic surgeon has to say about bones, but the second he starts ranting about epidemiology, safest assumption is that he did his ‘research’ on truth social and fox.

Yep. All the way up to the very top. If I needed advanced neurosurgery, I’d go straight to Ben Carson. If I needed absolutely anything else in the entire world, I’d go the opposite direction.

Do not confuse education (or persistence) with intelligence. I am surrounded by PhDs who are total fuckwits and abject failures in life.
