If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

I'm sickened by the level of anti-doctor feeling levelled by govt, sections of the press, and by a portion of the public.
Medics are not greedy - they're intelligent people with options. They want to help people; they just need a wage they can live on.
2020 is clearly a distant memory.
For shame.
