Dr. Drew and Dr. Pierre Kory chew the fat on a number of topics. From Covid to Ivermectin, various treatments, personal experiences, censorship and our medical systems. Canada gets a dishonorable mention and at one point we find out the Dr. Drew is still a bit of a Fauci fanboy and Dr Kory politely bursts that bubble. Lots of good stuff.
A couple of different ways to watch or listen. Video here or my personal preference the periscope version that lets me listen on your phone without killing the battery while doing other things.
Adam Carolla frequently challenges Pinsky about Fauci. Great banter!
15 minutes in and we’ll worth finishing. Pinski is passionate in his anger.
The first 9 minutes were a waste to me. Then they got to “what happened to our profession?” and what their personal histories were.
At 12 minutes, “how frozen our co-workers seemed to be”, describing how the professionals were waiting for someone to present them with a recipe for how to react, instead of switching into “lets see what we can do to help our patients”. The training of “react quickly when things go wrong or your patient will die” was set aside in favour of “this isn’t my area. I need someone from another area to tell me what I should do.”
I sorely miss my GP Doctor from the 1970’s. He would (and could) do anything in his office. I remember going to him when I woke up one morning with my eye swelled so shut that it wouldn’t open. I told him that I was working upside down installing resawn-faced plywood on a friend’s home in the hills … and that I must have gotten a splinter in my eyeball.
My GP … numbed my eye … took a look … and found the splinter. He then pulls out this 12” needle-looking thing … although it was really soft and flexible … he rolls it sideways over the splinter and sort of dragged it out of my eyeball. Voila! Splinter gone. Eye feels better. He gave me an eyepatch to wear for a day and tells me to call if the swelling doesn’t go down. It did and I was as good as new the next day.
I expected I’d have to go to an eye specialist, and book a surgery clinic for eye surgery or something. Damn … I miss the days of the Super GP’s!!
I thought Periscope wasn’t available anymore, and that was why Scott Adams went to YewToob (and now Locals).
Medical bureaucrats have to please only one client – the government. That’s what happened to them.
In the Canadian system, they all get paid if they do a good job, a bad job, or no job at all if you get tired of the hours long wait in the emergency room and go home .
Not to mention that Canada is the only country in the world that has a $5 billion fund of taxpayer money for lawyers to fight the patients when the doctors mess up.

“Do nothing and come back when your nearly dead!” — advice from nearly every governmental organization.
Reminded me of when my mother couldn’t get an MRI years ago; but cats and dogs were getting MRIs at off hours past midnight.
Best part was when they all cracked up about the beaches in California: You can go to the beach, but you can’t lay on a towel. Dr. Drew: “Oh well, we can’t have you actually enjoying yourself!”
Priceless…stupidity brought to you by “public health”…
Great stuff 🙂

I agree that medical institutions and bureaucracy smothered innovative covid treatments. If you have listened to lawyers describe the legal challenges, faced by patients families, to get Ivermectin, you know that it was the hospitals. This is compounded by the reality that many physicians are employees today, instead of independent contractors. I suppose Big Pharma played a role and they had outsized influence, due to regulatory capture and money, but they didn’t paralyze the medical delivery system.
It’s embarrassing that the US, EU and Canada aren’t the leaders in state of the art response to covid.
