Perspective/Tinted Glasses

Have you ever noticed that your perspective on life changes with time and circumstances?

Going back just two hundred years, slavery was accepted by most of the world.  Today it is frowned upon by most of the "civilized" world.  However it is still prevalent in much of the world today. Tens of millions are kept in actual slavery or bondage and the number is increasing due to political factors, economics, industrialization,poverty and even climate change.

Just two hundred years ago, physicians and surgeons were  still using leeches, mercury(for medical treatment) and did not recognize cleanliness as a requirement for a healthy medical practice.  We have come a long way since then.  We have other problems.

Two hundred years ago another solution/problem arose:  vaccines.  Politicians seem to love simple solutions to a problem, no matter the cost.  Vaccines were an answer to a politicians dream.   No matter what havoc occurred with the introduction of the small pox vaccine, they went blindly ahead.  They took figures and statistics  morphed them into rosy statistics that indicated the small pox vaccine worked, disregarding that the increase in mortality of small pox always seemed to correlate to its use. Only the use of quarantine and sanitizing caused the smallpox epidemic to abate.  

If you want to decrease disease and pestilence, there is only one way:   Sanitation, hygiene, clean water and air, good wholesome food, healthy working conditions and an overall environment that is free of chemicals and pollutants.   Not simple, so politicians disregard it.  To be continued.

Women And Men Are Different

Went to a funeral with my wife today to pay final respects to a very nice lady who passed away from cancer.  She was a beloved teacher at  Yeshiva.  She also sent her own children to Hillel as well.  Her name was Mrs. Dalia Shimon OB"M.   She was loved and respected by the community as she was a very upbeat, positive and caring individual always with a smile on her face.  A great many from the community turned out to pay respects:  Yeshiva,  Shaare Torah, P Z, Hillel and many others as well.

I must comment on the women and men who participated in the funeral.  I have never noticed the extreme differences between men and women as exemplified at this particular funeral.  The men did most of the physical labor as required by Jewish Law and then stood quietly and attentively as the funeral progressed. 

The women on the other hand all recited Tehillim during the service often breaking down and crying, though quietly and respectfully.  They all held each other to offer comfort and solace. 
I am not disparaging either sex on the way that they participated in the service but I must note that  the women were much more emotional and compassionate to each other.  The men on the other hand while in a group, each stood alone, stoically if you wish to call it that.

That is the way that I see it.

Love On A Leash

In today's society relationships between men and women have become quite strained due to many reasons:  Believe it or not, the wholesale use of vaccines has affected the sexuality of an entire nation from a physical aspect.   The sexuality of an individual is much influenced in the womb by drugs, vaccines and of of course radiation from cell phones, cell phone towers, computers power grid etc.

The Alt Left has also seen to it that women and men are equal, have common goals and have equal aspirations both physical and emotional and are treated the same regardless of any physical differences that there may be.

What they perceive, is that all men are lustful beasts while all women are innocent and subjugated.
Men, in recent generations, have become very leery  of the opposite sex. feeling that any approach to a woman is forbidden since it might be misconstrued as sexist.  How to approach a woman/man is a difficult subject but is best left out of bars and off of street corners.   Religious institutions, family, friends and schools are most likely the better substitutes.

I have my dog, who adores me unconditionally and I love that dog also unconditionally.   How can any guy/gal compete with that?  

I have my cell phone and laptop and am connected to the world but not to any one individual.
It is easy to love the world but not to an individual.

Health Care

I once heard it said from someone that I met at the Yeshiva, that German (Nazi) scientists in return for a great deal of information accrued by the Nazis before and during World War ll, traded information for license for pursuits in the pharmaceutical industry.

Seeing what is happening in the pharmaceutical industry during this day and age, I now wholeheartedly concur.  Big Pharma dictates how you are treated by your physicians and the costs involved.  There is a total disregard for costs and safety to the public in a wanton pursuit of profits.
There are many safer, less intrusive and more cost effective procedures and medicines used worldwide  than are practiced in the US.

Seeing what has happened to our food supply:  genetically modified foods,  pesticides, hormones and antibiotics for meat and dairy animals one can only agree.

Of course, people are subjected not only to what we eat but to additional factors as well.   Cell phones and cell phone towers, power grids and the medical complex which foists upon us expensive medicines and procedures are also in the mix.

The unbridled us of vaccines is an excellent example of excess.   Just as the overuse and abuse of antibiotics led to the introduction of super bugs, so has the overuse and abuse of vaccines has led to an ever  weaker society both physically and morally.   Although it has been shown time and again that almost all diseases in the US were in decline prior to the introduction of vaccines due to better sanitation, hygiene, foods and working conditions,  we have marched onward with vaccinations with a zeal that would have made even a Nazi cringe. 

We march forward with ever increasing zeal to the drum beats of Big Pharma, medical schools, physicians and those on the the left who march ever onward to the abyss with total lack  of comprehension for any proper scientific procedures and proper statistical evidence.  Figures do not lie, liars figure.

This is all rounded out by the following:   Self interest,  status, income and profits.
What physician will admit that what he/she has learned in their medical schools is throttling an entire nation, that he/she has learned is subjected to bias by Big Pharma whose only goal is profit and the value of their stock?

And to round it out, our fearless Rabbis who kowtow to the wealthy individuals and physicians who liberally support their agenda by their generous contributions.   Thank you Rabbis for our second holocaust!!

Fiduciary RelationshipPatient Physician








<< >> Up Title Contents

THE FIDUCIARY RELATIONSHIP

The physician-patient relationship is a member of a special class of legal relationships called fiduciary relationships. Through the creation of fiduciary duties, the law recognizes that there are relationships in which the parties inherently have unequal power. In the words of one court:

[T]he physician-patient relationship has: ... its foundation on the theory that the former [physician] is learned, skilled and experienced in those subjects about which the latter [the patient] ordinarily knows little or nothing, but which are of the most vital importance and interest to him, since upon them may depend the health, or even life, of himself or family. [T]herefore, the patient must necessarily place great reliance, faith and confidence in the professional word, advice and acts of the physician.[29]
The essence of the fiduciary relationship is that the patient's interests must be paramount. This is in contrast to the usual legal rule of caveat emptor ("let the buyer beware"). In most businesses, the law assumes that there is an arms'-length transaction: the buyer and the seller have, in theory, the same access to information and the same bargaining power. For example, a merchant in a retail store encourages customers to buy the items that have the greatest profitability for the store. The merchant may not lie about the goods but is allowed to puff: to volunteer only favorable information and to make reasonable overstatements of the products' virtues. In contrast, the physician is expected to recommend treatments based only on the patient's medical and psychological needs.
Physicians should be familiar with fiduciary duties from the literature on informed consent to medical treatment. The fiduciary duty extends to all aspects of the physician-patient relationship. Breaching the financial aspects of the fiduciary duty to a patient can subject the physician to liability under commercial laws. Understanding the factors that make the physician-patient relationship a fiduciary one will help physicians recognize potential violations. [29]Witherell v. Weimer, 421 NE2d 869 (1981).

Self Interest:
regard for one's own interest or advantage, especially with disregard for others.
personal interest or advantage.

Vested Interest:
1. a personal stake or involvement in an undertaking or state of affairs, especially one with an expectation of financial gain.
"banks have a vested interest in the growth of their customers"
o    a person or group having a personal stake or involvement.
"the problem is that the authorities are a vested interest"
o    Law
an interest (usually in land or money held in trust) recognized as belonging to a particular person.

Fiduciary:
A fiduciary duty is an obligation to act in the best interest of another party. ... A person acting in a fiduciary capacity is held to a high standard of honesty and full disclosure in regard to the client and must not obtain a personal benefit at the expense of the client.

The question arises, " What or who does the physician owe his responsibility/allegiance to? "
Does the physician owe allegiance to his/her medical school where he is trained to perform in a certain manner regardless of the outcome or its cost to the patient?
Possibly he owes his allegiance to the pharmaceutical companies who have so generously contributed to his school and have an extensive financial stake  in promoting the expensive procedures and products that they sell.
Another possibility is that he owes quite a bit to the insurance companies who insist on following protocol no matter what the cost or outcome to the patient.  If you do everything by the book, you cannot be sued.
The physician owes his allegiance to the patient and the patient only.  Under all circumstances he/she must do what is best for the patient.   He is taught not only to act, but to act in a thoughtful,  responsible and timely manner.

Self Interest

Self interest is an important part of society.  We each have specific needs, wants and desires not always  being realistic about it.
We go to school or/and get experience on the job and we become quite sure that what we are doing is the correct way and the only way.
I once held a position at a glass company which tried to do chemical tempering so as to strengthen the glass and alleviate the manufacture of a more expensive glass.
The problems were many:
1. Polluting
2. Corrosive to the treatment chamber.
3. Strengthened already strong items but did little to enhance the physical strength of weaker items.
4. Testing was done in a very unscientific manner.  Low value tests  were discarded while those that showed good results were kept.  Tests were often repeated until the proper test results were attained.
5. To impress the CEO, a test was arranged with pretested ware.
What happened
 They all had a vested interest in seeing to the success of their program.  For everyone it was their job and their personal pride.
So to in medicine.  Do you think that the physicians, pharmaceutical companies and others do not have self interest in recommending drugs, vaccines and services that they  provide?   Results of testing are often hidden and misleading at best.
Physicians and pharmaceutical  companies have training but little experience with scientific procedure. They do however have a vested interest educationally, monetarily and status in the outcome of any testing that is performed.  Interpretation of  statistics is haphazard as based on improper testing techniques.   Over the last 30 to 40 years, autism, asthma and digestive disorders have skyrocketed.  This correlates very well with the following:
1.Multiplication of cell phone towers and cell phones.
2 Increased use of vaccines.
3. Emergence of genetically modified foods.
3. Increase in trade from China?
4.Increased use of pesticides.
5. Fluorides in water and toothpaste.
6. Others as they emerge.
The biggest experiment ever tried is now being performed on humanity.
Again!  There is an elephant in the parlour and it is not a Republican.!

to me
Dear Mr. Ringler:

Thank you for contacting me to relate your support for legislation that would require informed consent for vaccinations. I appreciate your interest in this issue and I understand your support for this legislation and informed consent as a way to educated those who might fear vaccinations based on misleading or anecdotal evidence.

The bill that you mention in your email, House Bill 2037, is not related to informed consent, but, rather, to the information that schools must provide to parents regarding exemptions to vaccination requirements for enrollment.

My colleague Senator Folmer has circulated a cosponsor memo for a bill that would require informed consent before a vaccine is administered. I have elected not to sign on to this bill as a cosponsor at this time, but I will continue to evaluate it. Vaccines are safe and important to ensuring that our population is not impacted by preventable diseases. Unfortunately, Pennsylvania’s vaccination rate is low. We should act to remedy that reality. Children should be vaccinated, though I believe that medical exemptions and religious exemptions should remain in place. In light of the increase that we have seen in recent years in disease that had been declared eliminated, like measles, we should evaluate our practice for vaccination. The role that informed consent could play in that process is something that I will have to consider and discuss. I look forward to the opportunity to consider legislation on this issue and I will keep your support in mind if any such bill should come before me for consideration.

Again, thank you for taking the time to contact me about this matter. Please feel free to contact me if I can assist you in any way.

Sincerely yours,
Senator Jay Costa, Jr.
