Do No Harm: Medical Science at Its Best & Worst

Freud had alot of theories that never panned out because he failed to focus on other aspects of human behavior that contributed to how we think, the considerations we make in the decision process, and the affect on us by others along with the effect is has on our overall place in life, even in the temporary sense. In the decades that have passed, more has been discovered, or rediscovered by all of the professionals in the mental health industry. Questions still hang that many refuse to even make the effort to examine in order to get the simple answers.

Scoff if you will at the suggestion of "simple answers". Occums razor applies to more than just the law enforcement arena, and is always misapplied with other ides, other hypothesis being tested in the scheme of things. The result is the interjection of personal opinion, each professional's emotions and personal beleifs, personal moral indignation, and personal sensitivities.

The above is often accepted as professional opinion when in fact it is actually a loaded gun, and the bullet is social politics. Instead of professional objectivity, mental health appoints itself the judge and jury because they have provided such a sense of security with their acting abilities that they are often trusted, even revered within their shallow show of compassion. Even the lawmakers have given them legal powers that other medical doctors don't have, and this has created a huge problem, the proportions of which is so big that it will take generations to untangle.

Giving doctors the power to force medication on people, and hold them against their will without being charged with a crime defined by state / federal statutes is clearly a breach of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. The very same evidence that is used to commit such horrid acts is also the overwhelming evidence even by the measurement of preponderance of the evidence. I'll make my point on this right now without any further production.

Why has no one challenged this openly in society despite the fact that no other medical patient has their treatment forced on them? If the law and if legalities are to play out on a fair scale, it is abundantly clear that everyone would have to be held to the same standard. That means that every person with any type of medical illness would have to be held to use of force if they were to refuse or become non-compliant. The argument used most often as the standard of substantiation is that a person cannot make their own decisions. Let's examine this element. How do you tell if someone can make their own decisions or not? The only valid argument to be found even by medical / scientific standards is that a person is completely without brain activity at all, or is so profoundly but clearly mentally retarded that their development has not reached that equalling the maturity of clearly communicated thoughts.

Retarded in this context means that a person's brain has not physically developed beyond that measurement of a young child. That the growth has been so slowed that the person realistically has not left infant or toddler stage. Examples are that of a man in Virginia who arrived at the Veteran's clinic for a procedure related to his diabetic condition only to find that he was not scheduled. When he objected, he was involuntarily admitted to the psych unit. A court of law found that he was wrongfully imprisoned. A 16 year old of sound mind was legally forced by court order to continue chemo and radiation treatments for cancer when he refused. This individual went to a higher court which reversed the order before it could begin, finding that he was of legal age to refuse and of clear mind.

Let's jump to Terri Schiavo. A very complicated case that took it's twists and turns. It was found taht she was for all medical medical definitions dead, only breathing by ventilator without brain activity of any kind. She was essentially only a body being kept warm without hope of recovery, and possibly likely to be experiencing indescribable harm that she was unable to express. The court found that the ventilator should be stopped, and she should be allowed to expire per her wishes that were laid out while she was of sound mind. Evdence exists by the open adnission by all sorts of mental health professionals that an untild number of people are overly diagnosed with brain disorders, and treated with psych meds in concerning disproportion. Can we say medical mistakes? Can we say malpractice?

All of this is allowed to fly under the radar under color of law frankly because the law says it's legal. A disturbing truth that should scare you is that because these people are licensed professionals, they are assumed to be trustworthy. A false sense of security has been blanketed over all of society to include even the criminal and civil justice systems in such depth that no one is policing mental health professionals. No one is checking their chart work, which means that they can say what they want without worry of reprisal except by those who are financially wealthy, or otherwise find favor with organizations such as teh NAACP, ACLU, etc.

Here is proof of medical science in the age of special interest politics. You know, as all of society knows that medical science has no place in politics. I ask you now to take seriously the efforts of Dr. Hunter "Patch" Adams. Dr. Adams is in fact a real doctor who has fought against this, and against indifference by the medical profession in all of it's specialties and aspects. Dr. Adams still lectures today using his clown routines to illustrate the importance of thereality that there is more to a person than their illness whether real or perceived. Dr. Adams brought to the forefront that the human spirit matters most. Medical science has once again found itself shoving the text books and journals down the throats of students who are becoming doctors. What has spread like wildfire here, has also spread to other licensed clinical professionals who have become arrogantly narrowminded without consideration for anything else but published texts that constantly contradict at every turn.

Do you know that if we listened to everything science says, we'd be dead? Never have high level doctors or oher professionals at the everyday level been known to be stable in their opinions and teachings. Easier to out all of this out of sight and out of mind is your answer. Knowing all of this, why do those in real positions of authority give them such credit / credence? We as everyday people allow it because we are sheep, confused sheep who are naieve.

Psych drugs are a danger no matter how you slice it or splice words. Pharma refuses to be held accountable because they cry about their right to keep their corporate secrets (proprietary) information absolutely under wraps, but this holds the price of the well being of others. Aren't you happy to know they care so much? Psychiatrists, psychopharmacologists, and neurologists say that they only know a miniscule amount about these drugs because the pharma companies don't tell them everything despite the burden of the need to know on part of the docs. Talk to them as I have, and they'll tell you that there are zero studies on the concerns that matter the most such as the effect of these drugs on women who are pregnant, the effect on a fetus, long term effects that people have shown forever and a day such as confusion, daydreaming, problems with organs - kidneys, livers, G.I. systems, neuro / biochemistry relationships in the brain, cancer or risk of, long term changes to biochemistry, permanent effect on mood, thinking, appetite, ability to absorb food nutrients properly, and so much more.

Undisclosed to the public are high rates of permanent illness and even death caused by psych meds. Mental Health depends on people who won't go do the research, those who will openly and unquestioningly trust them based on their credentials alone. I've happily looked into these people many times asking only those questions, developing only that information upheld by public access of information laws. Character, public standing, reputation among patients and coworkers, publicly available documents such as political donations, income tax, receipt and use of public funding, use of legal force to assert involuntary treatment, and much more. The results were appalling! I've followed links to include affiliation with professional and political societies which smacks of ethical violations, political deals that resulted in special favors and backing, dishonesty ranging from wrongful use of influence to manipulation by use of learned learned tactics to romance people into compliance with inappropriate actions. I don't mean romance as in love affairs either. When I say "learned tactics", I mean things learned in the clinical realy that have grave abuses outside the patient - professional relationship. Self explanatory now that things have been accurately defined.

All socio-political, all finance related, all motivated by greed on every level. Greed even at the personal character level. More of these people than not, have their own self-esteem problems, their own checkered background that usually includes emotional and social manipulation that equals mental violence, it's an art that takes lots of brains to detect, and brains to spot right there when it happens. Clinicians call this paranoia, or paraniod qualities as a defense for their misdeeds. Delusion is another word they like to use when they are simply too lazy to really probe for answers that are not self-evident right on the spot. See how the fraud works now?

Another satisfaction of legal burden used is a person's "history" to make it appear that a person is a threat, when no current day indicator of things being amiss is available. You bet mental health people are enraged with people who investigate them in the public interest, because they can't accept that their ststus. their licensure, their influence and power make them subject in every legal sense to microscopic examination. So much for the hippocratic oath.

Never buy into the claim that all the documentation you sign makes it all ethical. Unless they sit down with you, and have a lawyer there who has nothing to gain in it all to help interpret it all with plain language so you can give what is called "informed consent", it's a scheme. So involved isn't it? Think your mental health information is guarded by HIPPA? Stop there! That is a lie! Remember when you sign a job application, when you try to enroll in school for a credit course in earnest attempt to earn a degree, or for a vocational course, you give away your right to protect that information. ADA says none of this can be used against you for these purposes, so they sneak it in under the guise of "Character investigation" or "Character Reference". This is nothing more than an easy way to circumvent the law, and circumvent your right to medical privacy.

Mental Health professionals know this, but there is nothing in place to require them to inform you of any of this in any manner or form. I submit the fact that this is all accidental, and also by design. Call it a designed accident. Equal to an insurance scheme so the person insured can reap great financial gain. Here's that money factor again. All of these professionals assume that their hard work in college, their licensing, and their place on society's pedestal makes them deserving of unlimited expensive lifestyle to take the stress away. Shouldn't they practice what they preach? Here's that inability to regulate themselves emotionally and psychologically. Sounds like a disorder to me!

Do No Harm! Harm is all they've done!
