Doctors With Agendas: Be Skeptical
Posted by Raven on June 19th, 2008
Professional medical groups are often given blind respect by people. The American Medical Association is an example: When the AMA endorses some treatment, theory or medication, many people often assume this is some golden stamp from all doctors. Not so. The AMA is made up of a bunch of non-practicing doctors who sit in cushy offices, writing “policy” and “advocating” for issues related to medical practice. The group touts itself as just that: A physicians advocacy association. Many doctors, more than not, are not members. The grunt doctors, those who are actually working as MD’s for their living, have little desire to join up- simply because they get nothing in return.
In recent years, most of these professional associations have turned political.
Another group of doctors gets more respect than it deserves: Doctors Without Borders. Yep…absolutely politically driven bullshit erupts out of the asshole of this group.
And here we have YET one more so called highly respected group of misfit MD’s who have declared the US did indeed torture prisoners at Gitmo. Based on their expertise assessments and evaluations.
The first extensive medical examinations of former detainees in U.S. military jails offer corroboration for prisoners’ claims of physical and psychological abuse at the hands of their American captors, a Boston-based human rights group said in a report released yesterday.
Extensive? Really?
The assessments of 11 men formerly held in U.S. detention camps overseas revealed scars and other injuries consistent with their accounts of beatings, electric shocks, shackling and, in at least one case, sodomy, according to the report by Physicians for Human Rights.
You can roll your eyes right here. Another BS group with an agenda. This far-reaching report will have far reaching implications for years to come. The limp dicked liberals will use this as evidence of wide spread torture, proven beyond any shadow of doubt. Based on the words, “physical” exams and tests of….. Not 11 thousand. Not 11 hundred. Rather, 11 former detainees. Eleven.
Put it into perspective. And consider that AQ teaches members to feign torture; to make up stories and even do “things” to themselves that leave scars. I’d like to see the medical records of these people; I’d like to see the method under which this “study” was done; I want to know how many Muslim male subjects actually allowed a rectal exam; I want to see the qualifications and associations these doctors belong to, and which party they donate their not-hard-earned-money to. These doctors’ words have no meaning for me. It’s all political.
This is just one more addition to the recent increase of cries of abuse and torture at the hands of American troops. Be skeptical, not political when reading all of it. And never forget our enemies prey upon the soft bleeding hearts and soul-selling lot of people (including doctors) who are nothing more than political activists seeking to destroy America’s reputation.

It’s hard to find this report credible when the study design, methodology, subject recruitment, execution, analysis, and interpretation were all performed by a group with a pre-existing agenda without independent oversight. For instance, without independent oversight, what guarantee do we have that data mining did not take place?

I’m surprised this isn’t being flogged by the lefty blogs…usually they go ape turd on these reports.
