Could you imagine spending more than a decade to become educated enough to opine on healthy issues, only to throw it away for a pedophile? A pedophile who views you as a gross baby carrier, no less

I might leave the academy one day, But I couldn't imagine doing something so amazingly stupid that I got my PhD revoked.

Starer is a board certified obstetrician and gynecologist who has a subspeciality in addiction medicine. She was primarily a practitioner of addiction medicine before her arrest in 2022.

What I can’t imagine is being intelligent and empathetic enough to be a board certified medical doctor, and then completely embracing such a toxic, hateful, and simplistic political ideology. How does all that intelligence and experience fail to transfer?

Promise to do no harm, then do harm? Sounds like an easy one for the licensing board

“She would very much like to regain her privileges to practice medicine and continue to care for those struggling with addiction, but this is unlikely if the outcome of these proceedings is not in her favor,” he wrote. “At the very least, she would like to restore her reputation in the medical profession and in the community.”

Her reputation as a Nazi cunt non-doctor is preserved in the community - no worries there.

Goes to show you an education doesn’t necessarily make you smart.

I have a cousin-in-law who is a doctor and is also a raging narcissist. To be educated and worship Trump like they do exposes some pretty severe personality flaws. My cousin is absolutely suffering during his marriage to her.

Doctors, nurses, et cetera are just flesh mechanics. Are they knowledgeable in their fields? Sure. But I've met enough anti-vaxxer nurses to know damned well quite a few of them are dumber than shit. Meanwhile some of the most well read and thoughtful people I've known have been truckers and the like folks with relatively low level jobs that allows hours of listening. Seriously I once met a trucker whos go to audio noise was university lectures uploaded on YouTube.

It's the way healthcare functions that makes a lot of them (not all) this way. When you spend all day seeing how the place you work, which is supposed to be for healing people, bend it's mission for profit, it can break your trust in the system. In some ways it can just be the nature of the work itself.

My brother worked as an orderly for a decade. After seeing the completely scooped clean thoracic cavity of an 18 year old organ doner (she ODed) he never really got over how she was just Meat for harvesting. I don't even think he realizes how different he's been since he had that job.

This is the difference between knowledge and Critical Thinking Skills. As a doctor, she obviously knows stuff, but she doesn't know how to THINK properly, and that leads her to fall for MAGA propaganda.

Doctor here. I usually support healthcare staff but I see nothing wrong here.

flandish@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 25d

since when do we allow non-humans to be doctors? you choose to be a nazi or fascist, you choose the one way street of losing your humanity.

How is it the saying goes?
Play stupid games and win amazing prizes.
I think that's how the MAGA sycophants think it is.

Maybe she can move to a Red state, where she can bribe the state board to give her license back.

I hope she still has student loans.
