Dr. Richard Bosshardt

I built my practice on the shoulders of the people that went before, and I have a very strong sense of responsibility that I have to honor the traditions and the efforts on my behalf to get me to where I was. And you want to think that you've done somewhat the same. Now, I wasn't a professor. I wasn't a researcher.

But in taking care of patients, I've always tried to honor the efforts of the people that trained me and feel like I could go off. Well, I've got a generation behind me now. I've got a daughter who's a physician. I've got a son-in-law, her husband, who's a physician. And I feel a very strong sense of obligation now.

To someday, when I can't do this anymore, to say, okay, I did the best I could to leave medicine in their hands better than I got it. And I can't say that. And that's tragic when you think about it. To think that you're leaving a profession that you love and have committed your life to, and it's in much worse shape than when it was put into your hands.

I take responsibility for that. I take my own. But at the same time, I think it's what happened to me. If the AECS can ban me with the impunity that they have done without accountability, without even following their own bylaws, for God's sakes, and they have no... reason to engage with me, they can do this to anybody. I mean, there's nobody out there who's, who's safe.

And that's a pretty frightening proposition.

I don't. Why? My trust, COVID. Yeah. Me too. I haven't been a doctor since COVID. What happened in COVID was so egregiously wrong that I just couldn't... I mean, I don't look at the CDC, the NIH, FDA in the same way any longer, public health officials. And the other issue, I don't want to open a can of worms here, but the gender-affirming care.

I mean, how in God's name did we get to a point where you have... My profession, as far as surgery is concerned, is probably the one most closely... involved in the whole process of gender affirming care because of the work we do. And to have this concept that there's no such thing as male and female, that you can take a biological male and convert them to a woman and they're really a woman.

I mean, that is, when you talk about witchcraft and voodoo, that is witchcraft and voodoo. And all the scientific evidence is against it. Do you know anyone who participates in it? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know people personally? No, I don't know people that are doing the gender-affirming care in minors. And I want to be very clear.
