Topics
Barry Weiss: 本期节目讨论了美国医学领域日益严重的政治化问题，以及由此带来的对医疗实践和研究的负面影响。他以美国医学协会建议从出生证明中移除性别类别为例，指出这反映了更深层次的意识形态转变，这种转变正在威胁着美国医学的未来。他认为，在医学领域，说实话的能力事关生死，意识形态的强制接管尤其危险。 Katie Herzog: 她详细报道了美国医学领域中一种被支持者称为社会正义、批评者称为觉醒或道德恐慌的意识形态的渗透。这种意识形态正在扼杀批判性思维、重要的医学研究和公开辩论，使学生对抗老师和病人，并将种族化带入人际互动中，甚至威胁到病人护理的基础。她以阿鲁纳·基拉纳尼在耶鲁医学院发表的演讲“白人思想的精神病问题”为例，指出这种意识形态的极端表现。她还讨论了哈佛大学和布里格姆妇女医院的米歇尔·莫尔斯医生建议根据种族优先录取病人的方案，以及佛蒙特州根据种族优先接种疫苗的政策，指出这些方案可能导致病人预后更差。她还讲述了丽莎·利特曼和诺曼·王两位学者因为研究结果与主流意识形态相悖而受到攻击和迫害的经历，以及医学院学生对教师语言的管控，以及由此导致的医生对住院医生的诚实反馈减少等问题。她还讨论了老一辈和年轻一代临床医生在对待病人和疾病方面的理念差异，以及语言管控对医学研究和医疗实践的负面影响。 其他发言人：其他发言人则从不同的角度补充论证了上述观点，例如，他们讨论了疫苗接种方案中体现的“反种族主义”视角，以及由此可能带来的不公平后果；他们还讨论了医生根据病人的种族或政治立场来决定是否治疗的情况，以及医学院学生对教师语言的管控，以及由此导致的医生对住院医生的诚实反馈减少等问题。他们还讨论了老一辈和年轻一代临床医生在对待病人和疾病方面的理念差异，以及语言管控对医学研究和医疗实践的负面影响。

Shownotes Transcript

For several months, the journalist Katie Herzog has been talking to some of the country's top doctors and professors—not about COVID, or vaccines—but about a new, creeping orthodoxy that’s taken over the hospitals and medical schools where they work. Those doctors say that whole areas of research are off-limits. They say that top physicians are treating patients based on their race. That professors are apologizing for saying ‘male’ and ‘female’ and that students are policing teachers. And in more than a few alarming instances, politics has come before patients. As one doctor put it: “Wokeness feels like an existential threat."Today, Katie joins us to discuss the ideological purge happening within American medicine, where the stakes could not be higher.
