I wouldn't trust the product of any medical school graduate who matriculated after, say, 2000, but these idiots will definitely kill you

the eagle is landing, and woe unto us all

University of Minnesota medical school students admit that they’re thieves living on stolen land, that they know nothing about medicine, will defer to their patients, who are “experts of their own bodies”, and vow to practice indigenous “medicine”, like voodoo and chakra enemas.

We commit to uprooting the legacy and perpetuation of structural violence deeply embedded within the healthcare system. We recognize the inequities built by past and present traumas rooted in white supremacy, colonialism, the gender binary, ableism, and all forms of oppression. As we enter this profession with opportunity for growth, we commit to promoting a culture of antiracism, listening, and amplifying voices for positive change.

The students also promise to “be respectful” of all patients’ “unique identities.” Additionally, they swear to be “authentic” and own their “mistakes and biases.” You may just need to have some sort of pain stop giving you trouble, but the new breed of medical men and women and other gender identities will “empower [your] autonomy.”

And there’s more!

We affirm that patients are the experts of their own bodies and will partner with them to facilitate holistic wellbeing.

We will prioritize care for the mind, body, and soul of not only our patients, but of our colleagues and selves. With this devotion, we will champion our personal wellness…

“What arguably stands out most is the group’s denouncement of science. Western medicine only has value if it’s the correct approach to physical health.

All the old and proven-wrong stuff is right:

We pledge to honor all Indigenous ways of healing that have been historically marginalized by Western medicine.
