Переглядів 7862 роки тому
The American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) published their plans for targeting and censoring US physicians who spread COVID-19 misinformation. But their real motive for targeting working U.S. physicians is to build monopoly markets for themselves and the Medical Industrial Complex through their many conflicts of interest. Here is their playbook.

    Calling on Uber corrupt Federal agencies such as the FTC, IRS and the leftist, partisan DOJ to investigate the ABIM's corruption is laughable. Fight back by no longer sending your money to this useless, parasitic bureaucracy called the ABIM, by letting your "board certification" expire. I will not send them another dime. We general internists are a valuable, dying breed. Use that fact to your advantage. Good luck managing a health care system who's PCPs are increasingly Certified Nurse Practitioners.

    Thank you. Their authority comes from their members who sadly are unaware of the incremental loss of respect and autonomy of their own profession. Fortunately, alternative organizations are available that have the best interests of patients and physicians in mind. Once ABIM loses their monopoly financially, only then will they realize the path they have taken. It's time that we stand for the truth and withdrawal support for ABIM policy. I appreciate your courage and efforts.

    This is not "birth certificate" it is "per certificate" you can't understand him because it sounds like he has gauze in his mouth. Probably a factor of speaking to something that makes him look like an evil man attempting to steal additional money from physicians who are often deeply in debt in order to pad his own very wealthy organization and to pay himself millions. Richard Baron is one of the most detestable individuals in all of medicine.

    Phak all boards! You'll never beat them this way. All we have to do is just come together and "Just Say NO!" If no doctor takes the MOC the MOC goes away. Look at the money they need to run. Simply starve them out! Stop paying for their products. They can't stop ALL doctors from practicing!

  • @radusegal9763
    @radusegal9763 3 роки тому

    Where we stand is, we now have new boards: Sleep medicine, and hospitalist medicine, just to name the ones off the top of my head. All we have to do is just pass a law to make board entities a mandatory non-profit organizations that cannot maintain a positive balance beyond the minimum needed to run the facility. In fact, the leadership board must be made up of voluntary members. We will never be able to break the ABMS choke hold over physicians until we are able to compete with the lobbying power of insurance companies who are the driving force behind all this. On the other hand the solution is for all of us to get together and go on "vacation" at the same time until further notice! Let them come to us begging that we return to work and then of course we can create a yearly activity of maintenance of certification for them. How about that?

      We stand in the exact same place, DK, because nothing will change unless we change it. And nothing will change without conviction. Again, given that we cannot compete with the powers that be on a financial level, we can simply sit out about a month. The thing is, we would have to convince more than 50-75% of providers to do so. We need to bring the system to it's knees. This is a classic case of divide and conquer. They have convinced patients that we are the enemy, when in fact the "controlling entities" are said enemies.

    Such a shame, when a small group of self-appointed elites determine that they can take advantage of those who have sacrificed so much and and struggling just to provide basic care under the increasingly oppressive legislative burden imposed by the US Govt. I remember receiving initial literature from my board stating that they were about to start MOC activities, as a response to "public demand." I've never had a single patient in over 17,000 who have ever inquired about my board certification status. It's hard to accept that the "Board" which has been held in such high esteem for decades has stooped to deception to line their pockets, and when called out on it, persist in the fiction that it's for our own good.
