re: Irony in the medical profession

Isn’t it ironic that a profession so esteemed as doctors puts out a shite-ton of Mengeles? Isn’t this profession supposed to be filled with caring and compassionate people who are the brightest amongst us? But instead we have mentally ill Mengeles who specialize in legal genital mutilation, double mastectomies, and infanticide normally by means of full body mutilation. It can’t just be about the corruption of money. How much more corrupt can it get with a profession set apart to “help” people?

Frontline medical professionals have changed a lot the past 60-70 years. When my mother went to nursing school in the 40’s the medical universities/institutions were nearly all affiliated to some religious denomination, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, etc. In those times I would guesstimate +80% of nurses and doctors were fairly devout Christians. It was more of a calling than a profession…..completely flip flopped over the past 50 years.
