The American Medical Association has gone woke. / PHOTO: Associated Press The American Medical Association released material late last month that promotes Critical Race Theory and attacks capitalism.
The 55-page health equity guide, published on Oct. 28, says physicians must focus on the collective political circumstances of minorities when treating patients in order to eliminate “health inequities.” It is not enough to just “focus only on individuals, their behavior or their biology,” the guide says.
“Given the deep divides that exist between groups in the United States, understanding and empathy can be extremely challenging for many because of an inability to really ‘walk a mile in another’s shoes’ in a racialized sense,” a preface to the American Medical Association guide reads, according to Fox News .
“Collectively,” the guide continues, “we have an opportunity and obligation to overcome these fissures and create spaces for understanding and healing.”
The preface to the document adds: “The AMA also acknowledges the extraction of brilliance, energy and life for labor forced upon millions of people of African descent for more than 400 years.”

I terminated my membership years ago when it became apparent that the AMA had become a liberal political organization that the Liberal left tries to use to support their agenda. MSM and liberal left love to make it sound like they have “medical support and basis. ”
The AMA, just like the CDC has become completely political and is no longer a true medical association nor does it truly promote Medical science and non-biased research.
I fully support and agree that doctors have the same right as every other person to have a political view and personal believes. But patient’s want their doctor’s to be non-biased, and treat based on true medical and physiologic facts, not biases, or political opinions.
The AMA has completely lost all respect, and it infuriating that political points get “touted” and then presented as if it a medical fact and all doctors support it. That is completely false. This from a well established surgeon for many years.
The AMA, like it’s sister lawyer group, the ABA, are both what have inevitably devolved into collectivist oriented, far-left organizations, which is why, as a 50 year lawyer I would never join the ABA if my hair was on fire and they had the only extinguisher.
