Caring Corrupted

 Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.

In a 1948 speech to the House of Commons, Churchill paraphrased Santayana when he said 'Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it. '

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”–George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905.

We should pay attention to current events!

Looking at this current College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario web page, "Medical Assistance in Dying – Preliminary Consultation (http://policyconsult.cpso.on.ca/?page_id=13129)" distresses me, when I read it with the events of the 1930s and 1940s still fresh in my mind.

The  REMI Platinum Award-winning 56.07 min documentary film can be found on this page "Caring Corrupted: the Killing Nurses of the Third Reich (https://germanstudiescollaboratory.com/caring-corrupted-the-killing-nurses-of-the-third-reich/)" shows how medical professionals can be desensitised to killing!

Can't we learn from history?

Do we have to repeat the most vile?

Cultural problem?

"Tell Canada’s Minister of Health to take concrete steps to prioritize patient access over private profits:



Around the world, governments fund critically important medical research and development using public money — including more than $1 billion already committed by the Canadian government to develop a COVID-19 vaccine, as well as diagnostic tests and medicines.



Publicly funded research has led to dramatic healthcare innovations. In Canada alone, researchers have used government funds to support the discovery of an Ebola vaccine, insulin, the cardiac pacemaker, and more.



Unfortunately, most countries — including Canada — rarely demand that the resulting health innovations be safeguarded for public health, or be made affordable and accessible to those who need them most.



In fact, these publicly funded vaccines, medicines, and health technologies are often sold to private companies, who then determine who receives access to them — and at what price.

This is unacceptable.

Safeguards can make the difference"

" ...the CMPA has significant resources to support doctors in a legal fight. The association's most recent annual report from 2017 shows the CMPA holds $4.5 billion in assets.

But for patients who find it difficult to fund their own cases, many may be surprised to learn they are also indirectly funding the doctors' legal expenses."

Safe patient care will occur in a

culture of honesty, trust,

respect and open communication.
