Welcome to the World of Postmodern Medicine

Welcome to the World of Postmodern Medicine - Posted by Leslie Eastman 
  • A disturbing look at the “queering of medicine”, policies impacted by climate pseudoscience, and the push for using hospice from hospital chains.
"Dr. Erica Li is a pediatrician practicing in the state of Washington, as well as teaching medical students from three medical schools and interns from four residency programs.
Li recently published a chilling piece in Substack about the current state of medicine in this country, which she referred to as being “postmodern.”
...While it leverages the same technologies as Modern medicine, thereby superficially resembling it, it fundamentally seeks to dismantle Modern medicine’s underlying philosophy.
While Postmodern medicine is being propagated across American medical schools through Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion bureaucracies, nothing exemplifies Postmodernity more than the gender ideology that drives American “gender-affirming” model of care.
I wish to strongly advocate for Modern medicine and urge readers to resist the ideological shift towards the Postmodernizing or “queering” of my profession...
However, I reject the overmedicalization of children propagated by many gender activists. 
At its core, Postmodern medicine is as far removed from Modern medicine as witch-burning. 
It poses serious risks to patient welfare and should be vehemently resisted...
