For several years I taught "History Ethics and Legal Perspectives of Anesthesia". It was a Master's Level class for Nurse Anesthesia Students enrolled in a Master's Course. My teaching credentials included Degrees in Law, Anesthesia and Nursing along with 20 plus years administering Anesthesia and I was working with more than one Law Firm as both an Anesthesia Expert and a Lawyer in Mal-Practice Cases, defending Physicians.
This article gives a good analysis of the problems with an approach to Medical Ethics based upon just knowing enough to pass a Medical Board Exam and obtain a License to Practice Medicine.
I can also vouch for the approach/problems in the way someone with a Masters In Public Health (MPH) views the CDC and believes Vaccines are necessary to stop a contagious disease and achieve herd immunity in the population.
Both the level of Medical Ethics taught and the opinions it seems are ingrained into MPH graduates are tottering on the edge of a "falsehood abyss" as can be seen from this Sub Stack article.
First a word about those who have a MPH Degree: I have a friend who has two Master's Degrees; one in theology and an MPH. Early on after C-19 Vaccines were available he asked me if I had been vaccinated and I replied that I had not. He asked why and I responded that I had experience in the Phase 1 Human Trials before Vaccines were approved by the CDC and the Covid Vaccines were still in Phase II trials and the benefits and risks associated with them, especially long term risks in humans, were not known.
He proceeded to tell me that his MPH Degree gave him the knowledge to tell me it was my duty to get vaccinated for Covid as soon as I could get to a vaccination center. I asked him why, expecting at least a quasi-scientific explanation. Instead I was told that the CDC were experts and we had a duty to do what they said!
I asked him how many classes in Pharmacology he was required to take to get his MPH? He just looked at me. (silence equaled "none"). I asked him how many days he had spent caring for patients, in isolation who were diagnosed and being treated in a hospital for a communicable disease in his MPH training? Again silence (none). I asked him how many class periods in his MPH schooling was devoted to communicable disease identification, process and treatment? You guessed it, none, just silence.
He knew that a doorknob that had germs on it was called a "fomite," a potential source of a bacteria, fungus or virus that could cause disease, but he had no education or background that would really give him any basis except his belief that the CDC was "the expert source" for when to get vaccinated. He had the theoretical knowledge the MPH Degree had given him, but he had no real knowledge, or had forgotten any he had learned, that gave a reasonable basis to take a vaccine that was still in Phase II testing and was for a disease with a 99.997% survival rate for those under 78 years of age unless they had some 4 or more medical morbidities. There was a excellent basis for anyone with knowledge in medically related fields to dismiss his opinion.
I especially appreciate the story of Dr. Rethy and the two teenage children she vaccinated for Covid.
Obviously her degree in medicine and her residency training would give her ample knowledge in pharmacology, disease process and care of a patient in isolation who had a communicable disease. Yet in spite of all this she committed at least 3 crimes, twice in the same day in the "treatment" of 14 and 16 year old siblings. There is no Medical or Legal excuse for that kind of behavior by a so called "professional."
The three crimes Dr. Rethy committed in her treatment of each sibling were laid out in the Sub Stack article; Battery, False imprisonment and Fraud. I also believe she committed a fourth crime, this one against the sibling's mother; removing the parental right of having the final say as to the treatment of her minor children. This is bad enough, however Dr. Rethy also committed an International Felony by not giving the mother the required risk benefit analysis so the mother could give "informed consent" or refuse her children to be vaccinated under the Nuremberg Code: which for an experimental, i.e. not approved by the CDC vaccine, only available under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) must legally include the following:
"This is an experimental drug, it is still in the phases of human testing prior to either being approved or not approved by the CDC. Since it is still in Phase II testing, which is the first long term testing phase I can not give you a risk benefit analysis because we do not know what long term effects or problems this or any other Covid-19 Vaccine might cause. A person could die as a result of taking this vaccine. No one can force you to take this vaccine, the choice is yours (or in the case of minor children, the choice is their parents.)"
After giving this basic analysis which is necessary for the obtaining of "informed consent" the parent or the patient, if a legal adult, must sign and date a consent form that includes the same basic
language as in the above paragraph plus a statement to the effect of consenting to receive the vaccine. Then the Physician must also sign and date the form. It can not be signed by an office nurse or secretary and the consent must be obtained, under the Nuremberg Code, by the Health Care Provider who holds a license as Physician, Physician's Assistant or Advanced Practice Nurse, i.e. Nurse Practitioner. Failure to do this, according to the Nuremberg Code is a very specific crime; "Crimes Against Humanity."
So when we add in the Nuremberg code which happens to be part of U.S. Law we have not just 6 crimes, but 9 total Crimes committed by the good Dr. Rethy. There were at least three total victims mentioned in the Sub Stack; a mother and 2 minor children.
Now, some may claim Dr. Rethy was ignorant of the Nuremberg Code, however, in this country, every Law Student knows that "ignorance of the law is no excuse" as do many other people.
Then I need to point out that Mal-Practice is a Civil Offense where if convicted, Dr. Rethy's Mal-Practice Insurance Company would have to pay money damages. As was so correctly pointed out in the Sub Stack article, these actions of Dr. Rethy's was not Mal-Practice, but were Crimes.
Now since Criminal Law is different than Civil Law and since the penalty for being convicted of Crimes is loss of freedom, instead of a monetary loss, or if the crimes are severe enough, the loss the criminal faces is loss of life, that brings up another issue.
Mal-Practice insurance does not cover crimes. Mal-Practice Attorneys are not Criminal Attorneys, and are, frankly, incompetent to defend a Doctor who is being tried for crimes. That doctor will have to pay for his/her own Defense Attorney out of their own pocket. The Mal-Practice Insurance Company does not pay for Criminal Defense Attorneys. Remember, I am a Lawyer who worked with Mal-Practice Firms defending Physicians for several years.
Now, sadly, Dr. Rethy is not the only Physician in this country who is in this same position, there are hundreds, maybe thousands more in the same position.
I helped defend Physicians for years. We had a very excellent record at being successful defending Physicians. So for my two cents worth, the fault for Physicians not understanding what they face lies right in the lap of the Medical Schools and continuing Medical Education.
There is a hole in the preparation of Medical Students that includes a complete ethics foundation which would have, in my opinion, avoided this problem many Physicians can find themselves facing.
The solution, revise the way Medical Students are taught.
I believe that in the next few years, not only will there be a lot of Physicians who could be in Criminal legal trouble, but if the Medical Profession does not revise the way Physicians are taught and trained, it may be never that the Medical Profession regains the lost Professional Status that the response to Covid-19 has cost them.
We will all be better off if the Medical Profession learns what they need to know and understand now.
1) I have been disemployed since Oct. 26, 2021, after declining the ClotShot. Dr. Ian Thompson, in medical administration at Island Health in a jurisdiction visible from your state of Washington, informed me that there was no liability under the Nurnberg Code for the collective action of enforcing adherence to a medical experiment.
2) Medical students can easily answer any question for which the answer is provided. We were selected for that ability. An hour's lecture on the questions and the expected responses would only have been a distraction from learning the difficult content (neuroanatomy was a challenge for me, as were many other areas, but pharmacology was in my "wheelhouse" as they say.) So, ethics is actually not a medical school event, but a personal quality, as is empathy and compassion. Technical competence can be trained.
3) My experience with "Medical Protective Association" lawyers is not as you describe. There is a difference between being "represented" procedurally and being "defended." If you look at Dr. Trozzi's reports from Ontario you will understand why he engaged his own independent lawyer.
If Island Health is under US Jurisdiction, Dr. Ian Thompson is sadly and badly mistaken about his statement "that there was no Medical Liability under the Nuremberg Code for collective action of enforcing adherence to a medical experiment." The Nuremberg Code speaks specifically about subjecting a human being to an experimental drug and it is a Crime if certain safeguards such as complete informed consent are not followed. It is highly likely that the cases of complete informed consent with regard to the Covid-19 vaccines are extremely few and very far between. You don't get informed consent when you have a victim (as opposed to a patient) stick his or her arm out of a car window at a drive-up vaccine center and a Health Care professional jabs them and they receive a card saying they have been jabbed.
I agree that "Ethics" is not a traditional Medical School event. I'll let you in on a story from my Anesthesia Experience and a Mal-Practice Law Suite I was involved in to show why ethics needs to be a Medical School Event:
"It was a busy weekend on call. I had spent the majority of it in the hospital with emergency surgeries. One was a 7 year old boy with appendicitis, retro-cecal and adhering to be back side of the Cecum requiring careful "teasing off." In normal fashion, after the appendix was removed, the small bowel was run to check for a Meckle's and none being found the Cecum was again checked and a small, about the size of a man's thumb nail hematoma was found on the backside that did not appear to be enlarging.
After this surgery , there was a C-section in OB and then I went back up to the surgical floor to check on the 7 year old boy who had the appendectomy. He sitting up in bed crying and holding his right side. I asked him what was the matter and he said 'it hurts bad.' So he was obviously alert and recognizing pain. The nurse came in with a pain shot and I made a note on his chart and went home for a few hours sleep. It was about 4 am on a Sunday morning at that time.
"At about 7 am my phone rang. They were taking the 7 year old back to surgery for bleeding. It took me less than 15 minutes to reach the hospital and find a pale, 7 year old with no radial pulse and an apical pulse of over 200/minute and respiratory rate of 40/minute with a "flared platisma muscles on both sides of his neck" as he took each breath. We did, the best we could but the boy, Jamie, died on the OR table about 30 minutes later.
" I helped the nurses get the little boy cleaned up and then went to see the parents. The assisting surgeon told Jamie's the parents, "We did all we could, but we lost him." The surgeon had disappeared.
"The parent were shocked, devastated and crying. The mother asked to see her dead son, kiss him good-by and hold him and cry. I spent time with the parents after that letting them ask me questions, some of which I had no answer for.
Later I learned that around 30 minutes after I saw the boy in his room, crying, just before going home about 4 am that morning, the little boy expelled a large amount of blood from his bottom. The surgeon was called ordered blood. He did not come in to check on the boy. Later the little boy expelled another large amount of blood from his bottom. The surgeon was called again and ordered more blood. The nurses said they begged him to come in and see the boy but he said to give the blood and he'd be fine.
I am sure I do not have to point out to you and any other Medical Professional or Health Care professional that the hematoma on the back side of the cecum had ruptured and there was a lot of bleeding into the large intestine which caused the two episodes of bleeding from the little boy's bottom. I also an sure you have already figured out that there was a rapidly evolving gram negative septicemia as well as hypo-volemia that caused the symptoms I saw when coming back to the hospital before the second surgery to save Jamie's life, but he was too far gone to save.
"There was a Mal-practice Law Suit and as part of Discovery related to the Law Suit I spent 3 hours in a Deposition with the Surgeon who did not tell the parents their son had died and who went and hid for 24 hours in a Condo at a Resort he owned some 30 miles away and lied in his progress notes, sitting on my left side.
"Prior to the Deposition, the Hospital's Attorney talked with me and told me that the Parent's Attorney knew Jamie's chart forward and backward. He was a seasoned Mal-Practice Attorney. I was told their would be a question that would be asked me toward the end of the Deposition. He could not tell me what the question would be but I would recognize it when it came. Then I had a choice, I could hit a home run and go home with a good future or I could be intimidated by the Surgeon sitting on my left during the Deposition and go home with a chance of a Law Suit for lying under Oath in my future.
"The Parent's Attorney went over the entire scene of both surgeries, my pre-op visit with the boy and parents before the first surgery, my visit after the first surgery when Jamie was sitting up crying and how Jamie looked, his coloration, ease or difficulty of breathing, etc. and how long I spent time with the parents after Jamie died. When the question the hospital Attorney mentioned came is was a simple straight forward series of 2 questions: "Did you do everything you knew to do during the surgery when Jamie died?" I answered, "I have gone over this surgery and Jamie's death multiple times looking for something else I could hove done to save Jamie's life and I did everything I knew to do." The next question was "Did everyone, in your opinion, do all they should have done to save Jamie's life that night?" I said, "We all did except one. The surgeon should have come in and checked Jamie when he got the first phone call from the nurses about Jamie passing blood through his bottom."
The Surgeon, sitting on my left gasped. Jamie's Parent's Attorney said, "Thank you, you are excused." As I walked to the door to leave, just as I reached for the door knob, Jamie's Parent's Attorney said, Just a minute, and then he asked Jamie's Parents, "Do you want to tell him or do you want me to tell him?" Jamie's parents said "You tell him." The next words I hear were "Mr.__
you are no longer on this lawsuit, you have been removed and there will not be any record of this against your name!"
"As I was hearing these words I was grabbed and hugged by Jamie's parents, who thanked me for caring enough to stay with them when they learned that Jamie had died. A couple of hours later the Hospital Attorney asked to speak to me in private. Here is what he said, "Do you remember the story of Diagonese from Greek mythology? The man who went around with a lantern looking for the face of an honest man? Today, I have looked into the face of an honest man, you. Don't ever forget that honesty is proof of your ethics. Don't ever be afraid to be honest, especially with a patient or family member. In a Mal-Practice Case the honest rarely see the inside of a courtroom because their honesty is appreciated. Even when they make a mistake, if they are honest with the patient and the patients family and say "I made a mistake" they are very seldom tried for that mistake because most people realize none of us are perfect and we all make mistakes." I've never forgotten those words.
"The Surgeon was convicted of Mal-Practice and lost Mal-Practice Insurance for a period of 3 years. His reputation in that community suffered tremendously and Jamie's parents won the largest Mal-Practice award that had been given by a jury up to that time in that State.
"That was 15 years before I graduated from law School and 16 years before doing work on the first Mal-Practice Case defending Physicians. I have seen many cases where, IF the Physician just said, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake" that Physician's stature in the eyes of that patient or patient's family would have risen to a new height of appreciation. That honesty would have prevented many Mal-Practice Lawsuits and much lost time away from family and their medical practice..
Dr. rjt, I admire your stance against the Covid jabs. Ethics involves more than just answering a few questions on a board Exam or a personal quality such as empathy and compassion, it also involves the personal ability to admit to a harmed patient or the patient's family that you are human and not a "god". Empathy and compassion can be faked by some people but when you add the trait of honesty to empathy and compassion that is the real definition of "Ethics."
As to your third point, sadly, like in Medicine, there are Practitioners of Law who lack the qualities of Ethics. I know this to be true also, I have seen and worked with some of them and they, also are not a "god." Ethics needs to be taught in Law Schools also.
Dr. rjt,
It is my hope for you that if you still want to practice medicine that you will be able to do so again in the future. What you have suffered by refusing to take an experimental jab that is now known to be a bio-weapon is a travesty of justice by the medical profession and the government of the jursisdicton you practiced in. Those who perpetrated this in justice on you will face retribution someday. If after all your study and even the trials of neuroanatomy you believe that 'we are wonderfully made' as the good book speaks of, there is also a text I would like to share with you. Romans 12:19 last part; "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord." (KJV)
Island Health (formerly known as VIHA, but "rebranded" when everyone called it Vi HaHaHa)is in B.C., visible from Washington's Olympic Peninsula and San Juan Islands.
I am done- I put in forty years, and each decade became more bureaucratic, more computerised, and less fun. I was in the privileged position of not "needing" the income, and my wife has been opposed to vaccination for decades.
> We will all be better off if the Medical Profession learns what they need to know and understand now.
Medical personnel with big egos will never allow this. When the ego is in control, it fears admitting it is wrong, and thus no personal growth may take place.
In that case then the relatives and patients harmed by the Covid vaccine and other unethical treatment need to peacefully boycott that doctor's office and see how long he/she can survive with little to no funds coming in.
You seem to have a basic misconception of what constitutes Medical Mal-Practice. The "standard of care" is not the sole determinant of what is Mal-Practice. There are 4 Specific elements that have to be proven for a judgement of Mal-Practice. Each of those 4 elements are proven or dis proven "to a Jury's satisfaction" by a battle of "expert witnesses. A Jury is also known as the "Trier of the fact(s)" and it is "facts" that determine what constitutes Mal-Practice.
In the situation of C-19 Vaccines, the question in a courtroom Case is not "whether the Physician is guilty of Mal-Practice?" But rather "did the Physician violate a Criminal Statute?"
There are specific steps and procedures a Physician or a hospital must follow in the situation of an EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) medication/vaccine or Medical procedure.
All C-19 Vaccines were EUA medications/vaccines.
The various "laws" passed by Congress that said they gave Physicians, Hospitals and Drug Companies "absolute liability protection" in the case of C-19 Vaccines only gave liability protection WHEN certain, specific, stated in law, procedures were strictly followed. These certain, specific, stated in law procedures are set out in International Criminal Law recognized by ALL Civilized Nations including nations such as Russia, Germany, France, Italy, and every nation that came out of a former British colony such as the US, Canada, Australia, India etc.
In many of those above named countries, especially those that came out of a former British colony, there is a basic premise in Law that is stated thusly, "Ignorance of the Law is no excuse." This means that no one, in our current discussion including Physicians, Hospital Administrators, and Drug company officers etc can defend themselves by attempting to invoke a Law that says those people are given "absolute liability protection" UNLESS those same people have followed, completely, each step or procedure outlined in the International Criminal Law their country signed on too.
Every Physician, Hospital Administrator and most other Health Care Professionals were taught in their training that BEFORE they preformed certain procedures and treatments on a patient or had those same procedures and treatment preformed in their hospital, or prescribed or administered certain drugs, something called "Informed Consent" must be obtained in writing, signed and dated by both the patient and the Health Care Provider obtaining that Informed Consent and placed in that patient's permanent record.
In the case of an EUA drug such as a C-19 "vaccine" only available to the public under EUA, the Informed Consent is, under International law, a much stricter level of Informed Consent.
Specifically, the Informed Consent for the EUA C-19 "vaccine" Administration, in order to allow a Physician, hospital etc to be covered by the US Laws that claimed to give those same people and hospitals "liability coverage" or "liability protection" The Level of Informed Consent had to specifically State the following:
1. This is an experimental drug or procedure.
2. This drug or procedure is still in trails, (Phase II Trials) and the risks and benefits of this drug or procedure, especially the long term risks are not known.
3. Because of #2 above I can not tell you what the risks of taking the drug and its benefits are or if this is and experimental procedure I can not tell you what the risks and benefits of having this procedure are.
4. Because this drug or procedure is experimental, no one can force (i.e. mandate) that you take the drug or have this procedure done.
5. I have to tell you that it is possible that if you take this experimental drug or have this experimental procedure, you could end up disabled or die.
6. By signing and dating this Informed Consent Form you are agreeing to take this experimental drug or procedure and realize that you are doing this on your own volition.
7. Then it is signed and dated by both you and me as the Health Care Provider.
Failure to do what is stated above by the Physician, Hospital or other Health Care Provider is "prima facie" i.e. "on it's face" proof of violation of a Criminal Statute.
The essentially only defense a Physician, Hospital etc has to prevent prosecution under this international Law is to show the above properly written and signed informed consent Document.
If found guilty of violation of this International Law, there are only 2 penalties a Physician, Hospital Administrator etc can have are; a) death penalty or b) life in prison with no possibility of Parole, only if that Physician, Hospital Administrator ect becomes "states evidence" and testifies against other Physicians., Hospital Administrators etc.
IF this International Law is ever put into practice in the US there could be thousands of Physicians, Hospital Administrators etc who lose life or freedom.
Perhaps that last statement above was the "real reason" this entire Covid 19 fiasco was planned to happen?! After all, Fauci and Bill Gates both have proven actions that show them to be eugenists-people wanting the population of the earth markedly reduced.
While "standard of care" is not the only measure of malpractice, it is the wall which is hardest to cross when mounting a malpractice lawsuit. I'm familiar with this in SSRI/psych drug lawsuits, and I've heard of others (hair loss or acne pill?). Impossible to sue, for example, over statin, PPI or heart drug damages because of "standard of care," and those damned algorithms which proclaim a doctor **should** prescribe a harmful drug. "Standard of Care" is an umbrella which catches and repels a lot of potential medical lawsuits.
Criminal is another matter (which is why CHD is being so clever on this one).
And the EUA does not cover DOD "emergency measures" i.e. biowarfare - read some Katherine Watt or Sasha Latypova. There is no liability for the shots. Even if you don't consider the mysterious contracts between governments and pharma.
And if Katherine and Sasha are right, even if there is a successful class action of all the harmed against all the pharmas - they will just file bankruptcy, go down, re-org, re-brand, and do it again under the auspices of a new emergency. Or just sneak mRNA into everything in our environment. By the time that becomes a problem, the people who started it will be passing their yachts on to their heirs.
Australia, in particular, somehow phrased it (I am obviously not a lawyer) so that doctors couldn't be sued over the shots, either. And while there were no official mandates (hunh) - they rigged the insurance & health & Safety regs so that an "unvaccinated workplace is a dangerous one." THAT's where most of our mandates came from. (I'm in Queensland, it may be different in other states, because these regs were passed at state, not federal level, so that our slimy PM could say, "I didn't do it!")
Sorry, rant mode off. Keep working it, Bitterroot. We need brains like yours to weasel through their words.
Another great article!
For several years I taught "History Ethics and Legal Perspectives of Anesthesia". It was a Master's Level class for Nurse Anesthesia Students enrolled in a Master's Course. My teaching credentials included Degrees in Law, Anesthesia and Nursing along with 20 plus years administering Anesthesia and I was working with more than one Law Firm as both an Anesthesia Expert and a Lawyer in Mal-Practice Cases, defending Physicians.

I pinned your comment :)
thanks, I hope it helps half as much as your Sub Stack thaat inspired it helps:)
I have three comments;
1) I have been disemployed since Oct. 26, 2021, after declining the ClotShot. Dr. Ian Thompson, in medical administration at Island Health in a jurisdiction visible from your state of Washington, informed me that there was no liability under the Nurnberg Code for the collective action of enforcing adherence to a medical experiment.
2) Medical students can easily answer any question for which the answer is provided. We were selected for that ability.

Thank you for your contributions and insight.
If Island Health is under US Jurisdiction, Dr. Ian Thompson is sadly and badly mistaken about his statement "that there was no Medical Liability under the Nuremberg Code for collective action of enforcing adherence to a medical experiment." The Nuremberg Code speaks specifically about subjecting a human being to an experimental drug and it is a Crime if certain safeguards such as complete informed consent are not followed. It is highly likely that the cases of complete informed consent with regard to the Covid-19 vaccines are extremely few and very far between. You don't get informed consent when you have a victim (as opposed to a patient) stick his or her arm out of a car window at a drive-up vaccine center and a Health Care professional jabs them and they receive a card saying they have been jabbed.
I agree that "Ethics" is not a traditional Medical School event. I'll let you in on a story from my Anesthesia Experience and a Mal-Practice Law Suite I was involved in to show why ethics needs to be a Medical School Event:
"It was a busy weekend on call. I had spent the majority of it in the hospital with emergency surgeries. One was a 7 year old boy with appendicitis, retro-cecal and adhering to be back side of the Cecum requiring careful "teasing off." In normal fashion, after the appendix was removed, the small bowel was run to check for a Meckle's and none being found the Cecum was again checked and a small, about the size of a man's thumb nail hematoma was found on the backside that did not appear to be enlarging.
After this surgery , there was a C-section in OB and then I went back up to the surgical floor to check on the 7 year old boy who had the appendectomy. He sitting up in bed crying and holding his right side. I asked him what was the matter and he said 'it hurts bad.' So he was obviously alert and recognizing pain. The nurse came in with a pain shot and I made a note on his chart and went home for a few hours sleep. It was about 4 am on a Sunday morning at that time.
"At about 7 am my phone rang. They were taking the 7 year old back to surgery for bleeding. It took me less than 15 minutes to reach the hospital and find a pale, 7 year old with no radial pulse and an apical pulse of over 200/minute and respiratory rate of 40/minute with a "flared platisma muscles on both sides of his neck" as he took each breath. We did, the best we could but the boy, Jamie, died on the OR table about 30 minutes later.
" I helped the nurses get the little boy cleaned up and then went to see the parents. The assisting surgeon told Jamie's the parents, "We did all we could, but we lost him." The surgeon had disappeared.
"The parent were shocked, devastated and crying. The mother asked to see her dead son, kiss him good-by and hold him and cry. I spent time with the parents after that letting them ask me questions, some of which I had no answer for.
Later I learned that around 30 minutes after I saw the boy in his room, crying, just before going home about 4 am that morning, the little boy expelled a large amount of blood from his bottom. The surgeon was called ordered blood. He did not come in to check on the boy. Later the little boy expelled another large amount of blood from his bottom. The surgeon was called again and ordered more blood. The nurses said they begged him to come in and see the boy but he said to give the blood and he'd be fine.
I am sure I do not have to point out to you and any other Medical Professional or Health Care professional that the hematoma on the back side of the cecum had ruptured and there was a lot of bleeding into the large intestine which caused the two episodes of bleeding from the little boy's bottom. I also an sure you have already figured out that there was a rapidly evolving gram negative septicemia as well as hypo-volemia that caused the symptoms I saw when coming back to the hospital before the second surgery to save Jamie's life, but he was too far gone to save.
"There was a Mal-practice Law Suit and as part of Discovery related to the Law Suit I spent 3 hours in a Deposition with the Surgeon who did not tell the parents their son had died and who went and hid for 24 hours in a Condo at a Resort he owned some 30 miles away and lied in his progress notes, sitting on my left side.
"Prior to the Deposition, the Hospital's Attorney talked with me and told me that the Parent's Attorney knew Jamie's chart forward and backward. He was a seasoned Mal-Practice Attorney. I was told their would be a question that would be asked me toward the end of the Deposition. He could not tell me what the question would be but I would recognize it when it came. Then I had a choice, I could hit a home run and go home with a good future or I could be intimidated by the Surgeon sitting on my left during the Deposition and go home with a chance of a Law Suit for lying under Oath in my future.
"The Parent's Attorney went over the entire scene of both surgeries, my pre-op visit with the boy and parents before the first surgery, my visit after the first surgery when Jamie was sitting up crying and how Jamie looked, his coloration, ease or difficulty of breathing, etc. and how long I spent time with the parents after Jamie died. When the question the hospital Attorney mentioned came is was a simple straight forward series of 2 questions: "Did you do everything you knew to do during the surgery when Jamie died?" I answered, "I have gone over this surgery and Jamie's death multiple times looking for something else I could hove done to save Jamie's life and I did everything I knew to do." The next question was "Did everyone, in your opinion, do all they should have done to save Jamie's life that night?" I said, "We all did except one. The surgeon should have come in and checked Jamie when he got the first phone call from the nurses about Jamie passing blood through his bottom."
The Surgeon, sitting on my left gasped. Jamie's Parent's Attorney said, "Thank you, you are excused." As I walked to the door to leave, just as I reached for the door knob, Jamie's Parent's Attorney said, Just a minute, and then he asked Jamie's Parents, "Do you want to tell him or do you want me to tell him?" Jamie's parents said "You tell him." The next words I hear were "Mr.__
you are no longer on this lawsuit, you have been removed and there will not be any record of this against your name!"
"As I was hearing these words I was grabbed and hugged by Jamie's parents, who thanked me for caring enough to stay with them when they learned that Jamie had died. A couple of hours later the Hospital Attorney asked to speak to me in private. Here is what he said, "Do you remember the story of Diagonese from Greek mythology? The man who went around with a lantern looking for the face of an honest man? Today, I have looked into the face of an honest man, you. Don't ever forget that honesty is proof of your ethics. Don't ever be afraid to be honest, especially with a patient or family member. In a Mal-Practice Case the honest rarely see the inside of a courtroom because their honesty is appreciated. Even when they make a mistake, if they are honest with the patient and the patients family and say "I made a mistake" they are very seldom tried for that mistake because most people realize none of us are perfect and we all make mistakes." I've never forgotten those words.
"The Surgeon was convicted of Mal-Practice and lost Mal-Practice Insurance for a period of 3 years. His reputation in that community suffered tremendously and Jamie's parents won the largest Mal-Practice award that had been given by a jury up to that time in that State.
"That was 15 years before I graduated from law School and 16 years before doing work on the first Mal-Practice Case defending Physicians. I have seen many cases where, IF the Physician just said, "I'm sorry, I made a mistake" that Physician's stature in the eyes of that patient or patient's family would have risen to a new height of appreciation. That honesty would have prevented many Mal-Practice Lawsuits and much lost time away from family and their medical practice..
Dr. rjt, I admire your stance against the Covid jabs. Ethics involves more than just answering a few questions on a board Exam or a personal quality such as empathy and compassion, it also involves the personal ability to admit to a harmed patient or the patient's family that you are human and not a "god". Empathy and compassion can be faked by some people but when you add the trait of honesty to empathy and compassion that is the real definition of "Ethics."
As to your third point, sadly, like in Medicine, there are Practitioners of Law who lack the qualities of Ethics. I know this to be true also, I have seen and worked with some of them and they, also are not a "god." Ethics needs to be taught in Law Schools also.
Dr. rjt,
It is my hope for you that if you still want to practice medicine that you will be able to do so again in the future. What you have suffered by refusing to take an experimental jab that is now known to be a bio-weapon is a travesty of justice by the medical profession and the government of the jursisdicton you practiced in. Those who perpetrated this in justice on you will face retribution someday. If after all your study and even the trials of neuroanatomy you believe that 'we are wonderfully made' as the good book speaks of, there is also a text I would like to share with you. Romans 12:19 last part; "Vengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord." (KJV)

Island Health (formerly known as VIHA, but "rebranded" when everyone called it Vi HaHaHa)is in B.C., visible from Washington's Olympic Peninsula and San Juan Islands.
I am done- I put in forty years, and each decade became more bureaucratic, more computerised, and less fun. I was in the privileged position of not "needing" the income, and my wife has been opposed to vaccination for decades.
Thank you for your understanding.
Dr. rjt,
In my book, for what ever it is worth, you were a Physician who stood and still stands, head and shoulders above most.
May your retirement bring you the joy and peace a man of your stature deserves.

> We will all be better off if the Medical Profession learns what they need to know and understand now.
Medical personnel with big egos will never allow this. When the ego is in control, it fears admitting it is wrong, and thus no personal growth may take place.
In that case then the relatives and patients harmed by the Covid vaccine and other unethical treatment need to peacefully boycott that doctor's office and see how long he/she can survive with little to no funds coming in.
This lawsuit is clever in that it doesn't go after "malpractice."
Malpractice is nearly impossible to prove if the "standard of care" (all the other doc's are doing it!) is followed.
JC,
You seem to have a basic misconception of what constitutes Medical Mal-Practice. The "standard of care" is not the sole determinant of what is Mal-Practice. There are 4 Specific elements that have to be proven for a judgement of Mal-Practice. Each of those 4 elements are proven or dis proven "to a Jury's satisfaction" by a battle of "expert witnesses. A Jury is also known as the "Trier of the fact(s)" and it is "facts" that determine what constitutes Mal-Practice.
In the situation of C-19 Vaccines, the question in a courtroom Case is not "whether the Physician is guilty of Mal-Practice?" But rather "did the Physician violate a Criminal Statute?"
There are specific steps and procedures a Physician or a hospital must follow in the situation of an EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) medication/vaccine or Medical procedure.
All C-19 Vaccines were EUA medications/vaccines.
The various "laws" passed by Congress that said they gave Physicians, Hospitals and Drug Companies "absolute liability protection" in the case of C-19 Vaccines only gave liability protection WHEN certain, specific, stated in law, procedures were strictly followed. These certain, specific, stated in law procedures are set out in International Criminal Law recognized by ALL Civilized Nations including nations such as Russia, Germany, France, Italy, and every nation that came out of a former British colony such as the US, Canada, Australia, India etc.
In many of those above named countries, especially those that came out of a former British colony, there is a basic premise in Law that is stated thusly, "Ignorance of the Law is no excuse." This means that no one, in our current discussion including Physicians, Hospital Administrators, and Drug company officers etc can defend themselves by attempting to invoke a Law that says those people are given "absolute liability protection" UNLESS those same people have followed, completely, each step or procedure outlined in the International Criminal Law their country signed on too.
Every Physician, Hospital Administrator and most other Health Care Professionals were taught in their training that BEFORE they preformed certain procedures and treatments on a patient or had those same procedures and treatment preformed in their hospital, or prescribed or administered certain drugs, something called "Informed Consent" must be obtained in writing, signed and dated by both the patient and the Health Care Provider obtaining that Informed Consent and placed in that patient's permanent record.
In the case of an EUA drug such as a C-19 "vaccine" only available to the public under EUA, the Informed Consent is, under International law, a much stricter level of Informed Consent.
Specifically, the Informed Consent for the EUA C-19 "vaccine" Administration, in order to allow a Physician, hospital etc to be covered by the US Laws that claimed to give those same people and hospitals "liability coverage" or "liability protection" The Level of Informed Consent had to specifically State the following:
1. This is an experimental drug or procedure.
2. This drug or procedure is still in trails, (Phase II Trials) and the risks and benefits of this drug or procedure, especially the long term risks are not known.
3. Because of #2 above I can not tell you what the risks of taking the drug and its benefits are or if this is and experimental procedure I can not tell you what the risks and benefits of having this procedure are.
4. Because this drug or procedure is experimental, no one can force (i.e. mandate) that you take the drug or have this procedure done.
5. I have to tell you that it is possible that if you take this experimental drug or have this experimental procedure, you could end up disabled or die.
6. By signing and dating this Informed Consent Form you are agreeing to take this experimental drug or procedure and realize that you are doing this on your own volition.
7. Then it is signed and dated by both you and me as the Health Care Provider.
Failure to do what is stated above by the Physician, Hospital or other Health Care Provider is "prima facie" i.e. "on it's face" proof of violation of a Criminal Statute.
The essentially only defense a Physician, Hospital etc has to prevent prosecution under this international Law is to show the above properly written and signed informed consent Document.
If found guilty of violation of this International Law, there are only 2 penalties a Physician, Hospital Administrator etc can have are; a) death penalty or b) life in prison with no possibility of Parole, only if that Physician, Hospital Administrator ect becomes "states evidence" and testifies against other Physicians., Hospital Administrators etc.
IF this International Law is ever put into practice in the US there could be thousands of Physicians, Hospital Administrators etc who lose life or freedom.
Perhaps that last statement above was the "real reason" this entire Covid 19 fiasco was planned to happen?! After all, Fauci and Bill Gates both have proven actions that show them to be eugenists-people wanting the population of the earth markedly reduced.
While "standard of care" is not the only measure of malpractice, it is the wall which is hardest to cross when mounting a malpractice lawsuit. I'm familiar with this in SSRI/psych drug lawsuits, and I've heard of others (hair loss or acne pill?). Impossible to sue, for example, over statin, PPI or heart drug damages because of "standard of care," and those damned algorithms which proclaim a doctor **should** prescribe a harmful drug. "Standard of Care" is an umbrella which catches and repels a lot of potential medical lawsuits.
Criminal is another matter (which is why CHD is being so clever on this one).
And the EUA does not cover DOD "emergency measures" i.e. biowarfare - read some Katherine Watt or Sasha Latypova. There is no liability for the shots. Even if you don't consider the mysterious contracts between governments and pharma.
And if Katherine and Sasha are right, even if there is a successful class action of all the harmed against all the pharmas - they will just file bankruptcy, go down, re-org, re-brand, and do it again under the auspices of a new emergency. Or just sneak mRNA into everything in our environment. By the time that becomes a problem, the people who started it will be passing their yachts on to their heirs.
Australia, in particular, somehow phrased it (I am obviously not a lawyer) so that doctors couldn't be sued over the shots, either. And while there were no official mandates (hunh) - they rigged the insurance & health & Safety regs so that an "unvaccinated workplace is a dangerous one." THAT's where most of our mandates came from. (I'm in Queensland, it may be different in other states, because these regs were passed at state, not federal level, so that our slimy PM could say, "I didn't do it!")
Sorry, rant mode off. Keep working it, Bitterroot. We need brains like yours to weasel through their words.
Even informed consents I have signed for procedures have only been signed by me. Never by the attending doctor.
