Australia: Medical Students Are Performing Intrusive Exams on Unconscious Patients
January 31st, 2011Via: news.com.au:
AUSTRALIAN medical students are carrying out intrusive procedures on unconscious and anaesthetised patients without gaining the patient’s consent.
The unauthorised examinations include genital, rectal and breast exams, and raise serious questions about the ethics of up-and-coming doctors, Madison reports.
The research, soon to be published in international medical journal, Medical Education, describes – among others – a student with “no qualms” about performing an anal examination on a female patient because she didn’t think the woman’s consent was relevant.
Another case outlined in the research describes a man who was subjected to rectal examinations from a “queue” of medical students after he was anaesthetised for surgery.
Sociopaths see an opportunity for personal gain. They pursue it, unencumbered by a conscience, thus having a significant advantage over the rest of us. Having such an advantage, they very often succeed not only in achieving some immediate gain, but the more intelligent among them further realize that, were they to gain control over the very system that offers the rewards they want, the likelihood of dependable long-term satisfaction is greatly increased. So after some number of cycles of infiltration, they eventually take over said system. They now become the arbiters of “what makes sense”. From that position, they shape the values of the masses who won’t think for themselves. All of this, of course, smooths the way for other sociopaths to gain power, reinforcing and further reshaping already twisted social values established by their predecessors.
Politics, medicine, the media, are all obviously susceptible.
I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to say that, if you visit this blog, chances are you’re probably not as “fit” as the new subspecies that’s replacing us, simply by virtue of having that psychic appendix known as a conscience. Still, I’d rather go extinct with a conscience than thrive without one. I’m sure my replacers feel just the opposite.
