The only Safer I believe in is the one who makes Safer's Insecticidal Soap. This one is buggy!

Some of the most important primary sources of historical research are the travelogues. We've taken quite a gender-journey, haven't we? It started with setting the gender-goblins inside the children free of their flawed bodies and it ends at setting the gender-goblins free of their flawed bodies. History, they say, is the gap between continuity and chage. In this case, capitalism fills the gap with as much meaning as necessary. The rationale is fungible. What matters is that we keep the gravy-train in motion because so many people are so very invested in the project. Can't let that gender-bubble go pop, or some money will be harmed!

I actually had my hysterectomy at Mount Sinai, the hospital affiliated with Ichann, about 12 years ago. The care was not good. The surgery per-se was successful and removed the uterus and cancerous margins (though I did need chemo and radiation after as there was a chance it spread to surrounding tissue). But I had numerous post-surgical complications, such as an infection and a suspected pulmonary aneurism. The gynecological cancer ward was a fucking disgrace: It was the dog days of summer and the only relief was a window mounted a/c that was loud and on the fritz. And my room was right outside the pharmacy where there was loud chatter and a radio on 25/7. I wonder what the digs for the transgender care are like? I assume much different.

Anyway, the whole slagging of non-prescribers by Dr. High IQ is a dig at skilled psychoanalysts because, G-D forbid, these “trans” patients actually do some difficult mental/internal work to explore root causes of their feelings of dysphoria. Affirmative care models/mandates are the are the real gatekeepers; they silence any non-prescribing mental heath provider from practicing in any meaningful way regarding trans patients on a mental health level. It’s sad.

100% about the Ph.Ds. / MAs.

I caught that, too.

Your care at that place sounds horrible. I've worked with surgeons who end up getting fired for causing too many infections- it's in the sterile technique, either you can do it right or you can't.

How are you doing since your surgery? You mentioned that it had been 12 years, so that's good!

I am an imaging tech ( CT, x-ray & fluoroscopy) When I got cancer I decided to use Gerson.org. plus lifestyle adjustments. I had become so traumatized by what was done to cancer patients that I never set foot in Oncology. I hated doing CT measurements for the radiation therapy dept- they were supposed to have their own CT scanner & CT tech, but they didn't. I felt like I was participating in murder.

We never get to see the patients who survive their treatments. I worked on a small island in the Pacific, Guam, and I would often run into the patient's family members in the mall or the grocery store, and I would ask after their family member. When they told me that they died I would just start crying.

I'm so pleased to know that you've lived 12 years, even after complications!! 💖🙏💖

I made a short video on the process I used, for you or anybody who's interested. Once or twice a year I will go back on Gerson for a few weeks just to reboot my system and clear out anything that might be forming.

I'm really, really happy to know that you've lived 12 years beyond your treatment!! ✨️✨️✨️✨️

Why does he equate "middle class people" with "benefits"?!

In my experience, middle class people work and pay for the benefits of everybody else, Qualifying for none themselves.

The I-CAN medical clinic 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

We should also stop using "middle class" like that's how the society functions. There's working class who will work for survival regardless of how much or little of a surplus liquid asset cushion they can build and potentially live off later; capitalist class who survive on income from investment returns or bonuses unrelated to performance/labor (includes aristocracy); destitute class, who have neither as a result of choice or circumstance.

He's talking about people who have access to decent health insurance and that would include people who can live off capital gains entirely, however they probably won't be negatively affected by the loss of the future labor force unless we go full Black Tuesday. The push to medicalize is making the future working class smaller. Kids getting permanently disabling surgeries and medical treatments on their working parents' employer-based health insurance now have a much higher chance of becoming members of the destitute class. That's before you even consider the inadequate mental healthcare they're getting which will mean they have a good chance of becoming permanent medical drains on the state as well or very long delays until they're self-sufficient. A potential loss of nearly 1% of children to this is devastating when you consider the other population and economic dynamics in play. This is just like the usual short term outlook playbook that the stock market does which is never great in the long term, except it's by people who took an oath NOT to gouge people for money in their time of need and pain.

Dr Safer? Really? It sounds like some kind of horrible sit-com hospital joke.

Brings to mind the old nursery rhyme by Tom Brown, written in the 1600s:

"I do not like thee, Doctor Fell,

The reason why I cannot tell;

But this I know, and know full well,

I do not like thee, Doctor Fell."

Now to watch the video; I got so flummoxed by the name, I haven't even seen the whole thing !

This is insane...

Is this "Safer"?

Is this really a doctor?

loooool "high iq". Yes, the cohort of students with good minds for rote memorization but not critical thought or logic. As the joke goes, what do you call the guy graduating from medical school with the lowest passing grade?
