The herd mentality of our health researchers produces fraudulent and deceptive studies

Nipawin - May 16, 2001 - by: Mario deSantis

restructuring
Our health care researchers have lost their noodles and they are beginning to make a

minefield for any further research by emphasizing better quality services through further

restructuring along the concepts of centralization and regionalization of services. This is

what the Fyke's report has been prescribing to cure the Saskatchewan health care system.

Hemmelgarn
Canada's health care system was restructured for the worst and now we have one

evidenced based study after another telling us that we have to go through additional

restructuring. Dr. Brenda Hemmelgarn, a co-author of a new Canadian health study, says

sicker patients

"we found that after the one hospital closed and centralization of services, that physicians in fact performed an increased number of coronary procedures on sicker patients and despite that fact, the hospital stays were shorter and their in-hospital mortality was not increased⁽¹⁾."

Rachlis
Health research guru Michael Rachlis has commented that this study is tangible proof of the

benefits of regionalization and centralization of health care and has stated

many

"it shows that many of the changes in the health care system have been good, and have benefitted people."

medical centralization
Michael Decter, chairman of the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), echoed

again the benefits of medical centralization as supported by another similar study released

by his institute last week⁽²⁾.

herd mentality
There is no doubt that most health researchers reflect the herd mentality of the forecasting

community⁽³⁾ and are going to brainwash the public with the fudging of their fraudulent

and deceptive studies⁽⁴⁾.

Thompson
In his Spring 2001 editorial "Better health through research," Laurie Thompson, CEO of

the evidence based Health Services Utilization and Research Commission (HSURC) of

Saskatchewan, says that

future

increasing the province's spending on health research... would have a huge impact on our future."

brainwashing
So, before health care gets better, we have to endure further studies, further wastes of money,

further brainwashing, and further legislation for the ultimate benefit of our evidence based

researchers, our bureaucrats, and our politicians.
