Dr. Azadeh Khatibi

I'm really happy that there were some doctors who stood up. I think there were a lot who were just scared and didn't stand up. You know, after I started speaking out, my friends, you know, who come from many different parts of the political spectrum who are doctors were like, oh, I really admire you. It's so great that you're speaking up, but I can't speak up because I'm hired by this organization.

Even the private practice ones were scared. Oh, don't say anything. You know, one of them told another friend of mine at a dinner party, he said, don't ever sign an exemption. It's just like saving your skin as opposed to actually following the ethics of what a doctor should do.

Well, let's talk about, and then you can remind me what your first thing is. Oh, the pharmaceuticals, the concept of a drug.

Right, I mean, the word safe, we've lost the concept of what the word safe is anyway. There is no such thing as safe, right? I think, again, so reactivity in my mindfulness training was something like, we have to reduce reactivity and promote centeredness, which really, the reactivity really fed a lot of people's dysregulated behavior during COVID and them feeding in from-

Well, I mean, reactivity of politicians, reactivity of the populace when they listen to the news and then they're like, oh my God, and they feed into it. The reactivity of doctors who try to save their skin instead of being centered, calm, wise, and then responding appropriately in the given moment.

That's kind of what I mean by reactivity that leads to like dysregulation within society and also dysregulation within the self. But for me, you know, coming in medicine, this is very basic, like medicine 101 that you learn. Okay, go get consent from the patient for this procedure.

So you go in as, you know, your med student with your intern, for example, and then you tell the patient, okay, you know, we're going to do this procedure on you. It has risks, benefits, and there's alternatives. And so you document risks, benefits, alternatives discussed with the patient. You never go to the patient and say, this is safe. You should do it.

Like you're taught that is actually unethical to do. It is wrong to do. And you're lying to the patient. However, somehow during the COVID time, the word safe was like this wonderful thing. Vaccines are safe and effective, safe and effective. And I was making the argument, especially on my physician Facebook groups, like, why are you guys using the word safe? Like, is the world upside down?

It's never, nothing is ever safe. There's always risk. And I never told a patient when I, you know, when you're doing the consent procedure, Whenever they ask me, like, is this safe? I would say nothing is safe. There's always a risk.

In your case, you know, in your case, you're a 20-year-old, 25-year-old male engineer who's very conscientious and you can't see because of this membrane on your retina and you're really upset about it and you can't do your work. I would say the risks... are outweighed by the benefits of this procedure of getting a membrane peel.
