Uncategorized – NOT YOUR DOC

SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO SHOW US HOW MUCH THEY ARE PAINED, SADDENED, OR DESPAIRED BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE THE WORDS TO DESCRIBE, OR CAN’T EFFECTIVELY USE THEIR WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE MAGNITUDE AND INTENSITY OF WHAT THEY FEEL OR WHAT THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED.

Expression of such strong emotions may lead to equally strong expressions: Graffiti Piercings Tattoos Mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders Self harm Substance abuse High risk behaviors Violence Charles Tadros, M.D. August 10, 2022 Saint Louis, Missouri

PSYCHOTHERAPY, PSYCHIATRY, AND PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING INVOLVE EXPERTLY LISTENING, OBSERVING, ASSESSING, CATEGORIZING, AND DIAGNOSING CLIENTS AND PATIENTS. TOO OFTEN WHAT IS NOT SHARED WITH THESE CLIENTS AND PATIENTS ARE: THE THOUGHT PROCESSES, ALGORITHMS, DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA, CONFLICTING RESULTS, AND ACTUAL CONCLUSIONS WHICH GUIDE THEIR THERAPIES.

WHEN IT COMES TO PHYSICAL CONFLICT, POLICE ACTION, OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED WARS, UNOFFICIAL WARS, AND PROXY WARS, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO PRAISE OUR HEROES, DEVELOP LIFE-LONG COMRADERIES, RECOGNIZE SACRIFICE, AND COMMEND EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP WITHOUT SUCH HISTORICAL VIOLENCE, LOSS, DESTRUCTION, AND BLOODSHED. PEACE BE WITH ALL WHO ARE AT WAR.

Avoiding battle does NOT mean: devaluing extensive, multifaceted, coordinated military intelligence, or naively believing that diplomacy is a tool to be used in isolation, or underestimating the value of political will, or undervaluing economic strength, or underspending tax dollars on military equipment and personnel, or being unprepared for physical conflict Charles Tadros, M.D. July 24,Continue reading “WHEN IT COMES TO PHYSICAL CONFLICT, POLICE ACTION, OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED WARS, UNOFFICIAL WARS, AND PROXY WARS, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO PRAISE OUR HEROES, DEVELOP LIFE-LONG COMRADERIES, RECOGNIZE SACRIFICE, AND COMMEND EXCEPTIONAL LEADERSHIP WITHOUT SUCH HISTORICAL VIOLENCE, LOSS, DESTRUCTION, AND BLOODSHED.

WHEN IT COMES TO OUR OWN HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE, HOW “FOOLISH” ARE WE ALLOWED TO BE?

Apple’s Steve Jobs, during his bout with islet cell tumor (or gasteroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor [GEP-NET]), despite his intelligence and his access to the best advice and care anywhere in the world, made poor choices ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4924574/#__ffn_sectitle ) which shortened his life. As with Jobs, we have a right to irreversibly screw up our lives. ThisContinue reading “WHEN IT COMES TO OUR OWN HEALTH AND HEALTHCARE, HOW “FOOLISH” ARE WE ALLOWED TO BE?”

CREATIVE PEOPLE HAVE TO, AT SOME POINT, LEAVE BEHIND THE COMMON, THE COMFORTABLE, THE EXPECTED, THE TRIED AND TRUE, THE ACCEPTED, AND WHAT WORKS. THEY ARE EITHER TRYING TO DO SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE OR TRYING TO DO SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.

SOME PEOPLE NEED TO LEAVE THEIR COUNTRY IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO:

leave their pasts distance themselves from their family make different friends experience new environments improve their socioeconomic, educational, political, personal, and religious conditions improve their mindsets Charles Tadros, M.D. July 6, 2022 Saint Louis, Missouri

SCIENCE, SCIENTISTS, PHYSICIANS, AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS ARE MISSING AN UNPARALLELED, REAL-WORLD EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR US ALL, DURING THE SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19, ONGOING PANDEMIC. IN ADDITION TO GOVERNMENT DICTUMS AND NEWS MEDIA SOUND BITES, THIS THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONAL TIME TO TEACH THE AMERICAN PUBLIC ABOUT: U.S. AND WORLD HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY, NEWS AND OTHER INFORMATION MEDIA, INTELLIGENCE GATHERING, POLITICS, MANUFACTURING, SUPPLY CHAIN, SHIPPING, AIR TRAVEL, TRANSPORTATION, INTERNATIONAL TRADE, U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL LAW, INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION, U.S. AND INTERNATIONAL FINANCE, BIOLOGY, ANIMAL SCIENCE, VIROLOGY, MICROBIOLOGY, GERM/BIOLOGICAL WARFARE, IMMUNOLOGY, PRIMARY CARE, CARDIOLOGY, NEUROLOGY, NEPHROLOGY, PULMONOLGY, CRITICAL CARE, EMERGENCY MEDICINE, HOSPITAL MEDICINE, INFECTIOUS DISEASE, HOSPICE, MENTAL HEALTH, GENETICS, CHEMISTRY, BIOCHEMISTRY, AND STATISTICS (just to name a few areas affected by the pandemic)

People glean from the internet and social media what is put before them and what search engines give as the top search results. With the internet of rapidly available information, anyone can rapidly check an official’s or a specialist’s word, work, current and previous statements, and with opinion blogs, obtain contrarian information and other viewpoints.Continue reading “SCIENCE, SCIENTISTS, PHYSICIANS, AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS ARE MISSING AN UNPARALLELED, REAL-WORLD EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR US ALL, DURING THE SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19, ONGOING PANDEMIC.

IT IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY TRUE THAT ONCE ONE STOPS HAVING A NEGATIVE SELF-IMAGE AND NEGATIVE SELF-TALK, THAT WHAT FOLLOW ARE ONLY UPLIFTING POSITIVES. OFTEN, INSTEAD OF FINALLY EXPERIENCING THE SUPPRESSED POSITIVE SELF-IMAGE, AND POSITIVE SELF-TALK, THERE IS NOTHING…NO SENSE OF SELF, NO SENSE OF JOY, OF PURPOSE, OF GOALS, OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS, OF SPIRITUALITY, OR OF COMMUNITY. THERE IS ONLY EMPTINESS. TO MOST OF US, THIS EMPTINESS IS MORE LONELY AND MORE FRIGHTENING THAN ANY NEGATIVE SELF-IMAGE OR ANY NEGATIVE SELF-TALK.

We wonder why people hold onto negativity… it’s because the unknown, the untested is much more anxiety-provoking, energy draining, and frightening than the known effects and costs of the negative self-image, and negative self talk. Charles Tadros, M.D. July 2, 2022 Saint Louis, Missouri
