About

Welcome to one of the OLDEST medical blogs on the internet.  We have blogged daily since 2002!  Authentic Medicine is about connecting us back to the roots of medicine.  This online “magazine” is constantly updated with informative and challenging opinions and ideas.   The goal is to fight back against those things that are taking us away from the direct care of patients while still pointing out the lunacy and hypocrisy of this job.  We now have the LARGEST group of writers, made up of ONLY real physicians (and a couple of medical students).  No other medical blog out there has this!

Physicians and patients need to join together to form the “Authentic Medicine Movement”.  This is not about being Republican or Democrat. It is about opening up a dialogue and keeping that conversation going.   You may hate some of the things we say.  We may hate some of your comments.  It doesn’t matter.  The wrong people  (politicians, businessmen, and administrators) are running and ruining this healthcare system.   We need to speak up and be part of the NEVER ENDING DEBATE.

Issues that we are concerned about:

  • Why we are moving to an era of Industrialized Medicine
  • The Quality Movement and why it is a scam
  • The onslaught of NPs and PAs and the legislators who believe they can replace doctors. 
  • The poor training of NPs going to degree mills
  • The ever-expanding Medical Axis of Evil
  • Medical Dogma and the Alphabet Soup (JC, HIPAA,etc)
  • Bureaucratic Drag and the distractions from treating patients
  • Burnout and depression amongst healthcare professionals
  • Humor in caring for the patient and the caretaker

We would be honored if you can check out the site and tell us what you like or dislike.  Come back regularly as new items are added daily (at least).
