Not really. The issue with trans surgeries is that they're ultimately plastic surgeries. And plastic surgery is a field that attracts the most hack of doctors. Only thing less respectable than a plastic surgeon is a homeopath.

I'm not even sure if the Hippocratic oath applies to plastic surgeons, cause most of their customers aren't actually sick or ill. They just want a different nose or boobs. Not exactly a life threatening condition. So "do no harm" kinda gets broken the second they cut you open to change your nose.

@alyx @Eris @dave doctors haven't been required to take the hippocratic oath for a while now.

@alyx @Eris @dave if post-rockefeller medicine still required you to do no harm they would never get anything done

@icedquinn @dave @Eris
There's always an implied oath when studying or practicing medicine, even if you don't officially take it. Not to mention that actual hospitals and doctors abide by ethics committees all the time.
If plastic surgeons were to respect basic ethics, you probably wouldn't have boob jobs.

LOL

@Eris @alyx @dave @icedquinn
I pulled some statistical peer reviewed data to help.

@icedquinn @alyx @dave @Eris Wait what

@alyx @dave For example: The MRI in a hospital is not owned by the hospital. It is owned by a doctor in that hospital. He gets paid every time the hospital uses it. He's not saying you need an MRI because you need an MRI.

@Eris @dave
>The MRI in a hospital is not owned by the hospital. It is owned by a doctor in that hospital.
Nope. That's completely wrong. I don't think you comprehend how expensive a MRI is to buy and maintain. No individual doctor would do something as stupid as buy an MRI himself. Unless he happens to actually own the entire hospital, but even then, the MRI would be legally bought by the hospital, not the doctor. So you're still unbelievably wrong.

Also, hospitals don't enjoy being sued for malpractice. They have rules and committees put in place to make sure doctors do things by the book. If a doctor does something stupid and gets sued, the hospital gets dragged into it too, because it is seen as their responsibility to supervise the doctor.

@alyx @dave Almost every single piece of equipment in a hospital is privately owned. Their equipment is leased, not owned by the hospital.

The rules aren't there to make sure things are done by the book, they are there to mitigate risk, and their lawyers are better than yours so that's not a big problem.

Need I remind you that they all pushed the Vaxx?

@alyx @dave When your proctologist says you need to patronize him once a year do you think he's saying that because he cares about you or because he wants a paycheck?

Get real.

@Eris @dave
You mitigate the risk by doing things by the book. One doesn't exclude the other.

You think they want to pay the lawyers when they can have measures to prevent being sued in the first place? Use that pretty little brain of yours sometimes. Nobody wants to be at the mercy of a lawyer, not even doctors.

>Need I remind you that they all pushed the Vaxx?
I don't care about your conspiracy theories.

@alyx @dave

>You mitigate the risk by doing things by the book.
LOL
>You think they want to pay the lawyers when they can have measures to prevent being sued in the first place?
Yes I think they would rather make huge amounts of profit and pay 10% of that to malpractice insurance and lawyers rather than just refrain from making that profit.
>I don't care about your conspiracy theories.
How convenient.

@alyx @dave Keep in mine 80% of clinic customer base are meth heads who could not wrap their heads around what "suing you" means in the fuckin first place.

@alyx @dave This notion that doctors are somehow special and different from every other industry of predatory bastards is baffling and probably induced by MKULTRA television programming.

@Eris @dave
>Yes I think they would rather make huge amounts of profit and pay 10% of that to malpractice insurance and lawyers rather than just refrain from making that profit.
You're a moron. You loose way too much from lawsuits, and the worst of all is that you can never be sure just how much you could lose. You NEVER want to play with that fire.

But keep being a stupid conspiracy theorist for all I care. Bye.

@alyx @dave You are extremely naive and expect human beings to be rational actors who would never do evil things that have potential bad consequences.
Lol, lmao.
