I thought that documentary sounded familiar. This is an important topic to me, as I know doctors have made some major screw-ups in the past on my mother, which had decades-long consequences for her health and quality of life for her and the whole family. There are several other people close to me who have also been victim to serious life-changing ordeals directly connected to medical negligence. It's another reason why I don't put a ton of stock in allopathic medicine, but since it is still the dominant medical practice in the west, we are all more or less forced to deal with it in one way or another...

If the medical associations didn't have a huge well funded battery of lawyers fighting to quash medical negligence suits, they'd be forced to do their job better.

They shot my brother up with narcotics and sent him home with a bottle of pills, knowing he was an ex pill junkie. He didn't make it though the night. It's why I dropped out of concen for a bit from depression.

That's terrible, I am sorry that happened. I get the general impression that the problem of medical malpractice is so widespread, it's into the millions of victims. Many survive, but their lives are forever negatively altered, and many don't survive, unfortunately. It's medical malpractice, but it's also just the fact that pharmaceutical drugs are toxic and dangerous, so every doctor prescribing them is putting people's lives at risk. So it's really just the whole system that is messed up.

Like I say, in my own family the situation has been quite devastating as well. I have personally been involved with psychiatry for almost 30 years now, and I have tried before to get out of the system, but they have a way of dragging you back in again. Usually there are side effects, then withdrawals etc, and then once you are in the hospital you are literally forced to take the damn drugs! And once you are on them, it's basically impossible to come off them safely. There's ways to do it, but it's exeedingly difficult...

I remember you and sonofsonny as well, from a few years ago. You both posted a lot of health related information, right around the time of the pandemic.
