Modern Medicine Is A Religion

Modern Medicine Is A Religion
This is really hard core, and truthful!
‘If medicine takes the form of a game, as Ivan Illich posited, then the doctor is the umpire representing the social body. His job: making sure that everyone plays the game and follows the rules.
Rule 1: you can never leave the game
Rule 2: the umpire determines which ways of dying are “acceptable” and no other ways may be used.
The only allowable death is that sanctioned by the doctor-priest, and through this intensive medicalization of death, “health care” has grown into a monolithic global religion.’*
Note: Rules 1 and 2 apply to the “game” of civilization. Civilization neurotically prevents people opting out of the “game”–unless it’s by dying, but even then, only under state-sanctioned supervision. The clue is in how homeless people are treated. They are “non-participants” and the System can’t STAND it.
