Darts with the word Hypocrisy

The Chutzpa of the American Hospital Association

November 1, 2021 — Medical

Apologies in advance, but I needed to resort to a couple of Yiddish words to adequately capture the audacity of the American Hospital Association accusing nurse staffing companies of improperly profiting from the pandemic. The nurse staffing business is booming because they pay nurses higher wages and guarantee better working conditions than AHA member hospitals, who long exploited nurses and ignored their patient safety concerns.

Nurse staffing companies overwhelmingly are run by entrepreneurial nurses like LeQuitha Simmons, a former army vet who served in Iraq and understands the law of supply and demand. Simmons isn’t an enemy of U.S. healthcare. The AHA is.

Private Equity: The Taliban of U.S. Healthcare

October 28, 2021 — Business, Medical

Given my interest in healthcare corruption and wrongdoing I’ve developed a certain immunity to the filth the engulfs me reading a daily parade of stories underscoring why the U.S. has the most expensive, inefficient, and inhumane healthcare system of any developed country. But after reading a story about the intimate relationship between the major organization representing emergency room doctors and private equity, I needed a long, hot shower.

America Should Import Hospital CEOs, Not Nurses

October 23, 2021 — Business, Medical

U.S. hospitals are looking to the Philippines, Canada, and elsewhere to poach nurses to replace a critical shortage of U.S. care givers. Contrary to what the corporate media reports, the shortage is the result of bad and abusive managements, not the pandemic.

My argument as to why U.S. healthcare would be vastly better off if the country imported foreign hospital CEOs and nurtured our homegrown nursing talent.

What Corporate Media Can Learn From “Moron” Joe Rogan

October 21, 2021 — Media, Medical, People

Corporate media journalists delude themselves into believing that those who distrust and despise them the most are ignorant Trump supporters who can’t handle the truth about their leader. In fact, thanks to biased and dishonest pandemic reporting, a swath of new corporate media haters has emerged, and they are among the smartest and most educated people in the U.S. and around the world.

September 25, 2021 — Media, Medical, People, Politics

Social media censors think they are doing God’s work removing content at odds with the Biden Administration’s vaccine narrative. In fact, they are fueling growing vaccine resistance and heightening the anger of many people who are a lot smarter than the media would have you believe.

FDA’s Unsung Heroes: Marion Gruber and Phil Krause

September 18, 2021 — Medical, People

The public’s ignorance of the heroism of outgoing FDA vaccine experts Marion Gruber and Phil Krause is yet another example of how the corporate media refuses to hold the Biden Administration and Dr. Fauci accountable for their ineptitude managing the pandemic.

The CDC’s and NIH’s Conflicted Research

September 11, 2021 — Medical, Politics

ProPublica in December 2019, when Dr. Fauci wasn’t yet a household name, published its “Dollars for Profs” investigation that revealed widespread financial and other conflicts in studies financed by the National Institutes of Health. ProPublica’s findings have taken on increased significance, particularly the funding of a vaccine research nonprofit whose executive vice president had a lucrative financial stake in a biotech company with exclusive rights to his research.

The company has partnered with a Chinese biotech to launch a Covid-19 vaccine in greater China. The vaccine was approved under President Trump’s warp speed initiative.
