Here in Cavite we are enjoying our third successive day of family togetherness without school, and so far some rain last night and a little breezy. Unlike some friend we have in Legaspi and Iriga (Bicol region) who are suffering greatly and our prayers are reaching out for them.

The chicken story caught my imagination. Decades ago, many of my family members owned chickens which were left to roam free and would be eaten regularly. Nobody was concerned with disease, not many folk had heard of Salmonella poisoning either. So what changed? Farming methods, that's what. The sooner we stop the barbaric battery methods in chicken production the sooner we can all confidently hold a Sunday drumstick without concern.

‘So many of you, those that are truly independent thinkers, if you allowed yourself to realize how truly moronic every doctor you’ve ever met is, you not only would never speak to them again, you would put a leash on them.

One that could be seen and held.

In contrast to the intellectual choke collars the medical schools put on each of them.

Stockholm syndrome is part of human nature. Professionals not limited to medical professionals are thus subject. Those of us who don’t develop affinity to our captors still fallibly struggle with reasoning. Our minds have to rest on something.

As for the medical profession as in any professional some things we can’t do ourselves ie blood transfusions, heart transplants. What i have been experiencing over the years is questioning clinicians has been getting phased out becoming more dictatorial not just clinician client relationships but interpersonal discussions with physicians and I’ll add all professionals including lawyers and accountants.

We will reach the point and time if we aren’t there that we will be reported to government for our simple questions.
