BEWARE OF THE LICENSED QUACKS!

Investigative report exposes the corrupt Medical Industrial Complex and the brazenly dishonest doctors benefiting from it.

In just the past decade, practitioners of medicine and providers paid an eye-popping $26.8 billion to settle numerous allegations of fraud, bribery, and causing harm to patients, according to a recent Reuters investigation. Not only is the American medical system sinfully expensive, it is also rife with corruption and incompetence.

Reuters cited the case of New York surgeon Feng Qin, who was shown to have performed “scores” of medically unnecessary procedures on elderly cardiac patients. Despite this, federal prosecutors opted against pursuing a criminal case. Instead, Qin
agreed to pay $150,000 in a negotiated civil settlement and was left free to perform as many cardiac procedures as he wanted, many of them presumably unnecessary. Incredibly, patients who’d been subjected to his procedures weren’t even notified that they hadn’t been needed. Shortly after the settlement, a whistleblower nurse reported that Qin had learned nothing, and was
back to performing unnecessary procedures on his largely Asian and Black elderly patients. Qin was indicted for felony fraud, and could have faced a prison sentence of ten years, but prosecutors eventually dropped that charge in favor of yet another civil settlement. Once again, after paying a large fine, Qin was left to resume providing “healthcare” to his patients.

The quote from the District Court of New York deserves to be widely publicized. They explained, “However, after a thorough investigation it has been determined that the interest of the United States and your own interest will best be served by deferring
prosecution in this district.” Justice Department officials told Reuters that “conflicting evidence from experts” made it difficult to challenge Qin on legal grounds.

“A wealthy doctor bought his way out of jail,” the whistleblower nurse in question, Mark Favors, declared in
a public interview. “How many people get a deal like that?” Reuters found that some 540 doctors had paid their way out of trouble via civil settlements. To quote Reuters:

Separately, more than 2,200 hospitals and healthcare companies likewise negotiated civil deals to
sidestep prosecution for alleged offenses that included paying bribes, falsifying patients records and
billing the government for unnecessary patient care, the Reuters analysis shows. In many of those
cases, the physicians, staffers and top brass who purportedly committed those misdeeds were not
named publicly by prosecutors or forced to pay settlements themselves. Federal enforcers said they
sometimes withhold names of individuals in these situations because of ongoing or planned investigations.
Unbelievably, the victims of all this medical malpractice receive none of the money from the settlements.

Instead, they are all funneled into the Treasury Department’s general fund. And, as noted, the victims of these unnecessary operations and other mistreatment are never notified about it. Shouldn’t something like a warning label be affixed to the names
of these doctors and hospitals?

In Iowa, a surgeon finally voluntarily suspended his license after facing sanctions and lawsuits from 15 former patients. In Michigan, hundreds of patients claimed that a doctor falsely diagnosed them with epilepsy. One lawyer claimed that Dr.
Yasser Awaad had “turned that EEG machine into an ATM.”

Another Michigan doctor, Farid Fata, was accused of an even greater crime: diagnosing over 500 patients with a terminal blood
cancer they didn’t actually have. He gave chemotherapy to heal these people.

Texas Dr. Jorge Za -mora-Quezada falsely told patients they had illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis and treated them with unnecessary medications such as chemotherapy drugs. Dr. Gary Marder of Port St. Lucie, Fla. falsely diagnosed patients with
skin cancer, subjecting them to dangerous and unnecessary radiation treatments. A 2001 story from ABC News declared in its headline, “Misdiagnosed Cancer not Uncommon.” The story reported that some 1.3 million people are misdiagnosed with cancer every year. Presumably, these numbers indicate “mistakes,” and not purposeful deception. Johns Hopkins estimated that one in every 71 cases is in fact misdiagnosed. One patient in Kansas, who’d been falsely told she had deadly pancreatic cancer, was
eventually awarded millions in compensation. The UK’s Dr. Mina Chowdhury frightened parents by falsely telling them their children had cancer in order to expose them to expensive treatment.

Even the mainstream media have admitted that medical errors and negligence are the third leading cause of death in this country. Stories are legion about surgeons leaving scalpels inside of patients. And amputating the wrong limb became so shockingly prevalent that surgical patients have long had the limb in question, or area to be operated on, circled with a magic marker so that these brilliant life savers don’t cause further damage.

“First, do no harm,” seems to be an expression many doctors today refuse to remember. It should come as no surprise that the corrupt Medical Industrial Complex participates so willingly in mutilating children as part of the transgender madness.

Today, doctors and hospitals are far more likely to cause more harm than good in many cases. ★
