UCLA medical school’s mandatory health equity class teaches students that weight loss is a “hopeless endeavor” and that “ob*sity” is a slur “used to exact violence on fat people.”
The full syllabus has shocked prominent doctors — the former dean of Harvard Medical School.
All first year students are assigned an essay by Marquisele Mercedes, a self-described “fat liberationist,” who “describes how weight came to be pathologized and medicalized in racialized terms” and offers guidance on “resisting entrenched fat oppression,” per the syllabus.
Mercedes claims that “ob*sity” is a slur “used to exact violence on fat people”— particularly “Black, disabled, trans, poor fat people”—and offers a “fat ode to care” that students are instructed to analyze, taking note of which sections “most resonate with you.”
The assignment shocked Jeffrey Flier, the former dean of Harvard Medical School and one of the world’s foremost experts on obesity, who said the curriculum “promotes extensive and dangerous misinformation.”
UCLA “has centered this required course on a socialist/Marxist ideology that is totally inappropriate,” said @jflier, who reviewed the full syllabus and several of the assigned readings. “As a longstanding medical educator, I found this course truly shocking.”

A Catch-all Diagnosis
If you thought malpractice was rife during the pandemic, just wait until the next emergency.
A B.C. doctor has captured the world’s attention by likely being the first physician to diagnose a patient with “climate change.”
Nelson-based Dr. Kyle Merritt gave the controversial diagnosis over the summer, saying the symptoms a patient in her 70s was seeing all tied back to one thing.
Those effects included heatstroke, dehydration and breathing issues. As he treated the patient, he started thinking about underlying issues. He ultimately diagnosed her with climate change.

National Post- Ontario resident who wants both a vagina and penis wins public funding for unique surgery
Ontario has been ordered to pay for unique surgery for a resident who is seeking to have a vagina constructed while leaving their penis intact.
Denying the procedure would infringe on the person’s Charter-protected right to security of the person, an Ontario court said in its ruling.
Article contentThe unanimous decision by a three-member panel of judges of Ontario’s Divisional Court could expand access to “bottom surgery” for people who identify as non-binary, meaning neither fully male nor fully female.
Transgender Is A Stalking Horse For The Normalization Of Pedophilia
Adult transgender clinics in England are facing a Cass-style inquiry into how they treat patients after whistleblowers raised concerns about the care they provide.
NHS England has announced that it is setting up a review of how the seven specialist services operate and deliver care after past and present staff shared misgivings privately during a previous investigation.
As a first step, NHS England will send “external quality improvement experts” into each of the clinics to gather evidence about how they care for patients, to help guide the inquiry’s direction.
The move follows the publication on Wednesday of a landmark review by Dr Hilary Cass, a former president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, which recommended sweeping changes in the way that the health service treats under-18s who are unsure about their gender identity.

Pharma Pressure?
Suneel Dhand is a British physician who has been openly critical of pandemic policy in many a YouTube video and now focuses his critical eye on another common medical issue: blood pressure.
“I believe it’s absolutely ludicrous that we would have this one size fits all approach to blood pressure [of ] 120 over 80.”
“Every passing year the guidance from the medical establishment gets more and more aggressive and on many levels this is a complete money grab…”

@tehbewilderness: Replacing biological sex with gender identity beliefs is like replacing modern medicine with incantations. Believing it yourself is foolish but demanding that others share your beliefs is inexcusable.

“Safe” Supply
You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
Alex Berenson- Yet again, the better we get at “harm reduction,” the more people overdose and die
British Columbia’s “Safer Opioid Supply” program included lenient rules to encourage users to join. Doctors could write prescriptions even for people at high risk of overdose. Addicts did not have to enter treatment or even agree to counseling to participate. Canada’s national health insurance program even paid for the drugs.

The latest sexual orientation to be recognized by the Canadian Medical Association Journal is ‘greysexuality,’ a relatively new subset of asexuality.
Originally published on Dec. 4, the paper featured in Canada’s top medical journal discussed greysexuality as defined as someone who is “experiencing sexual attraction rarely or under specific circumstances.”
Demisexual and greysexual people can still “engage in sex and experience romantic attraction,” according to the article, which was co-authored by Stella A. Schneckenburger, Michelle W.Y. Tam and Lori E. Ross
The term was part of an article on asexuality, which is an umbrella term for those who only form a sexual attraction to someone after their emotional needs are met or for those who are greysexual.

Import your doctors, import their disease: A Wave of Jew-Hatred in the Medical Fields
Several doctors publicly celebrated the savagery that Hamas inflicted upon Israel, which featured barbarism that rivals some of the darkest episodes of human history. Dr. Shiraz Farooq took to social media to post a Palestinian flag with the caption “about time!!!” As of today it appears he is still leading the ColoWell proctology clinic in Tampa, Florida. Dr. Majd Aburabia, the medical director of a cancer center in Dearborn, Michigan, posted on social media: “What a beautiful morning. What a beautiful day,” referencing the musical Oklahoma! to express joy about the Hamas assault. An update posted by Stop Antisemitism claims that her employment at Beaumont Hospital was terminated, but as of today she is still listed as an employee on the hospital’s website. Dr. Abeer Abou Yabis, a physician at the Emory Winship Cancer Institute, similarly took to social media to celebrate Hamas’ attack, writing “They got walls we got gliders glory to all resistance fighters.” She is no longer employed at Emory. Dr. Dana Diab commented on Instagram that “Zionist settlers” got “a taste of their own medicine.” She was subsequently fired from her ER physician job at Lenox Hill. Raeda Saeed, a registered nurse in the Chicago area, sent a direct message expressing her desire that a Chicago-area mother and daughter who were kidnapped be “burned alive and fed to Israel dogs.” It’s unclear if she has faced any professional consequences.
