swfowkes (Steven Fowkes) on The FLCCC Alliance

[swfowkes (Steven Fowkes)]

I suspect that Marik and Kory are traumatized from finding out, personally, how medicine is actually regulated in the USA. However, it is not about bad boards, although that is definitely the superficial level of what is wrong. The underlying flaw is the standard-of-care doctrine, which is what they recognize in the "consensus" process. However, this is not a medical-board matter, or Board of Internal Medicine matter, it is the legal foundation of medical regulation. And has been for a century.

Rather than take the battle to the boards, the successful strategy used by Marik's and Kory's peers (ethically disenfranchised doctors) has been the formation of a new medical society in which the non-consensus medical care becomes the standard of care for the new society. This then brings the unacceptable treatments and protocols under the standard-of-care doctrine.

At least superficially.

This new society would also help with defense of doctors under state medical board review, where testimony can be submitted that the "offending" practice is in full accord with the standard of care for that medical society. Because such medical voard reviews are administrative-law proceedings, there is no requirement that such submitted testimony be heeded, or even accepted. There are no "Constitutional rights" under administrative law. But there is an effect on publicity and public relations from such testimony, to which such boards pay some heed.

So is there an alliance that FLCCC doctors can force with any existing medical society? Or is there a need to form a new medical society? This is the strategy that accompanies direct challenges to medically-unethical board decisions based on deviations from the mediocrity of the standard of care.

Forge, not force. Sorry about the typo.

Hey Steven, check out the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons ... they may be the group you seek. Best of luck. ~~ j ~~

I'm not seeking a group. I'm not a medical practitioner. I have absolutely no medical license of any kind. So I am immune to the pathology of medical regulation; they cannot take away a license that does not exist. It is the FLCCC that might benefit from your advice. Maybe somebody there will read your advice and act. But whining about trials and tribulations is a common way that humans deal with the realization that they are playing on an uneven field. It's a rude awakening, but some are better citizens afterward.
