EXCLUSIVE: Medical Group Pokes Holes in ‘Fatally Flawed’ Study Claiming to Prove Kids Benefit From Transgender Hormones

,

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—An organization of doctors, nurses, and health care professionals poked holes in a study claiming to prove the marginal benefits of cross-sex hormones for teenagers who persistently identify with the gender opposite their biological sex. 

The group, Do No Harm, called the study “fatally flawed and borderline unscientific” in a report first provided to The Daily Signal.

Even progressive Europe won’t go as far as America in child transgender treatments

, , , ,

What do Europeans know that American medical elites don’t — or, worse, won’t even consider? Western and Northern European countries are generally much more restrictive in transgender treatments for children, with several recently becoming sharply more so. Yet America is doubling down on invasive and irreversible medical interventions for minors at steadily younger ages — with rare exceptions like Utah, which just banned such treatments this weekend.

Blame radical gender ideology, which blinds American activists to medical reality and the true needs of vulnerable children.

Florida medical schools consider race during admission process, documents reveal

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (TND) — Documents shared exclusively with The National Desk (TND) by a medical watchdog group show the University of Florida College of Medicine considers race and ethnicity when making admissions decisions.

According to Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, board chairman of the medical association Do No Harm, the liberal shift across the country’s medical colleges is impacting the standards by which potential doctors are selected and therefore will, in time, impact patient’s medical care.

Upon learning of an assessment from the the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), which surveyed over 100 publicly funded medical universities regarding their commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), Do No Harm sent formal document requests to several publicly funded medical universities, including the University of Florida, to obtain their responses.

Implicit Bias, Microaggressions Part of Diversity Training at Lubbock Hospital

Covenant Medical Center in Lubbock is having its staff take implicit bias training, but whether it helps with patient care is debatable.

Diversity training is growing in popularity among corporate institutions and even some of the most conservative areas of Texas are not exempt.

Recently Covenant Medical Center in Lubbock implemented a new bias training program for its staff. It is uncertain whether Covenant is requiring the training as a condition of employment.

Do No Harm, a group whose mission is to “[p]rotect healthcare from a radical, divisive, and discriminatory ideology,” received screenshots of the training from a hospital employee. The employee did not wish to be identified for fear of retribution by the hospital.

How woke broke medicine: public support for doctors has plunged by double digits, driven by conservative ire over trans surgery on kids, masks, and cringeworthy oaths

  • Doctors, nurses and pharmacists have seen approval ratings nosedive 
  • Physicians saw a 15-point drop from the start of the pandemic until now  
  • It coincides with a rapid, progressive reshaping of the sector, experts warn

Public support for doctors and nurses has tanked in recent years, especially among conservatives, as the sector has been bashed for wokery in everything from masking to doling out puberty blockers to kids.

The share of Americans who rate doctors’ ethical standards highly has dropped from 77 percent at the start of the pandemic in 2020 to 62 percent at the end of 2022 — an unusually steep 15-point fall over two years, says Gallup.

Nurses — and even pharmacists — have also seen their approval ratings nosedive. They’re all still far ahead of other professions, such as lawyers, bankers, and accountants, but the decline is stark and worrying.

Lawsuit Challenges Federally Funded Fellowship That Discriminates

The Supreme Court’s review this term of the role of race in higher education should have implications far beyond college admissions. More and more government-funded organizations use racial classifications in their programs. Take, for example, a mentoring program started by Health Affairs, the highly prestigious, peer-reviewed healthcare journal. The journal’s publisher, Project HOPE, receives millions of dollars in federal funds every year from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the USAID, and the Department of State. In 2021, the two groups launched the Health Equity Fellowship for Trainees (HEFT) “to advance racial equity in health policy and health services scholarly publishing.” Racial equality is of course both a moral and a legal imperative. The term “equity,” however, which increasingly displaces “equality” nowadays, is sometimes construed as a license to discriminate. This is one example: acceptance into HEFT is limited to minority applicants.

Group calls required racial bias training in Illinois insulting to health care workers

(The Center Square) – A requirement for dozens of health-care professions in Illinois to complete bias awareness training as a condition of licensure is being criticized by a medical watchdog group.

Former Medical Educator Criticizes Harvard’s Withdrawal From College Ranking System

Harvard Medical School left the U.S. News and World Report’s school ranking system

A former medical educator has criticized Harvard Medical School’s withdrawal from the U.S. News and World Report’s school ranking system, stating that the college is sacrificing merit for diversity.

“The U.S. News and World Report’s magazine ranking system for medical schools has long presented a problem for prestigious institutions like Harvard and Penn, where I used to teach,” Dr. Stanley Goldfarb told The Epoch Times.

Goldfarb is a former associate dean for curriculum at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. He’s now chairman of the medical watchdog group Do No Harm and is the author of the April 2022 book, “Take Two Aspirin and Call Me by My Pronouns: Why Turning Doctors Into Social Justice Warriors Is Destroying American Medicine,” which follows how medical schools hurried to adopt diversity, equity, and inclusion requirements in the aftermath of the death of George Floyd in 2020.
