I’m a healthcare provider and I do - but only if I sense an open mind. Many are too aggressively indoctrinated, with a
mind thirsting for someone to condemn, thoroughly enjoying the feeling of “getting it”, of mot being one of those stupid, mislead “antivaxxers”, having had thei minds and hearts filled with fear and anxiously lining up benhind the pied piper with the lifesaving syringe. Having just watched. Movie where the 18th century mob was screaming for “witches” to be burned i am reminded that the masses with the pitchforks have always tend led to follow one another, not the voice of reason, facts and logic.
I have a lot of patients come in that are filled with rage. completely unprovoked they start going off about their anger with the unvaxxed, i think just assuming i would completely agree. I just try to get out of the room without having to confront it. I have tried to make a personal commitment to never lie about my vax status but i did the other day just to be able to move on from this nasty patient without a confrontation.
Every few days i run into a patient who you can tell is testing the waters to see if they can have an honest conversation about whats going on and I just smile and tell them its ok and we have a real talk. Such a breath of fresh air when it comes.
You're describing my experience to a tee. The fury is surprising in its intensity, but I assume the fear and frustration that the relentless propaganda has instilled in them is looking for an outlet. The ones that are looking for a "safe haven" for an honest conversation seem grateful for the opportunity to actually talk and seek information. Thanks for being there for your patients!
As a 'patient', agreed!! Filosopher - hUge thanks to you as well!! God bless you both for being sane, haha... Brings a lil more hope there are more of you out there than it seems. It's so completely frustrating as the patient, having sO many of my doctors still completely blind to the truth. It completely baffles me as theY are the supposedly intelligent ones. I have my Endocrinologist spending 3/4 of appt trying to convince me how detrimentally important it is for me to get the 'jab' (I have MS, Hashimoto's), spouting off the compLETE opposite of virology-immunology 101. I seriously wanted to laugh, like seriously? Are you heaRing what you're saying?? It's like their thought process has been taken over. And worse yet, my Neurologist of over 14yrs, who I absolutely LOVE, stiLL on the side of madness. Never, in 14yrs, when switching MS trtmnts (and did a lot as couldn't handle the side effects) would she put me on a newly approved drug. "Too new." "Let's see how it does for a couple years." I LOVED and respected her for that. My health and SAFETY was truly her concern. Then the EAU of Cov-19 Jabs comes and I mUst get it now! I'm like, what?? "It's too risky not to!" And my husband who has natural immunity...she thinks is insane for not getting jabbed. Well, he sadly is noW, or would have been fired, but that's another sad story.
CRAzy. InsAnity. EverYwhere!! So disheartening. Now I'm behind on trtmnt (monthly infusion - afraid they'll sneak the vax in me!!), MRIs, appt with Neurologist, among others, sigh...Time to seek out some new docs. Just pray there are more like you both out there!!
Forget those doctors, they are lost. But as a doctor, you can do a lot of good by talking sense to your patients.
