I know from emails to the Alor.org bloggers, that the issue of going to the GP is now stressful, with full bulk billing now gone (it is necessary to pay the full amount, then get Medicare to reimburse; too bad if you do not have the full amount in your account). The Covid mandates certainly brought out the worst in the medical system, even at the local GP level. But, it gets worse, as the drive is beginning now in the US, and Australia next I would bet, to make medicine woke, for the purposes of social justice, diversity, blah, blah. Anti-racism will require conformity to the dictates of Critical Race Theory, and that means fewer white doctors, and ultimately no white doctors at all, as the endgame of Critical Race theory is, no whites at all, as part of the Great Historical payback. Wil whites pass quietly into the night, without even a little white mouse squeak?
“The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN), a children’s health organization created by Congress, proposed the use of racially biased hiring criteria in order to “dismantle … white supremacy culture.”
A 22-page document from the organization affirms the core tenets of Critical Race Theory before applying them to the medical industry in an approach that is referred to as “health equity.” It also urges a series of actions, which include enacting racial preferences in the hiring process.
Titled “Being Anti-Racist is Central to Trauma-Informed Care: Principles of an Anti-Racist, Trauma-Informed Organization,” the document expresses a belief in systemic racism and calls on organizations “to dismantle the white supremacy culture that continues to uphold … racism.”
“Systems and organizations must shift beyond performative action toward the fundamental transformation of becoming anti-racist and trauma-informed,” the document reads.
It also goes on to define racism not simply as prejudice based on race but instead as “a system of structuring opportunity and assigning value based on phenotype (‘race’).”
For any organization to become truly trauma-informed, it must work to dismantle racism along with the white supremacy culture that holds racism in place,” the NCTSN claims. The organization also references slavery when it says, “Our society has done little to consistently address our traumatic past.”
The document goes on to claim that the study of trauma “has been shaped by a Eurocentric approach focused on individual ‘psychopathological’ responses to trauma types most likely to affect white children, centering interventions developed by white clinicians,” and “often based on research with white children and families.”

Another anchor is “critical consciousness,” defined as “BIPOC communities’ capacity to critically reflect and act upon their sociopolitical environment.” Meanwhile, “cultural authenticity and self knowledge” is defined as “resisting colonized knowledge and practices” while instead “honoring ancestral wisdom and promoting racial-cultural pride.”
At one point in the document, the authors even refused to describe research methods with “standardized nomenclature,” citing its relation with “white dominant culture.” It reads “While it is standard in academic culture to provide a detailed description of research methods using standardized nomenclature, we assert that rigid adherence to these rules reflects an implicit commitment to sustaining white dominant culture.”
The document includes a vocabulary list, featuring terms like “reparations,” “white supremacy culture,” “oppression,” “institutional racism,” and “tokenism.”
The NCTSN “was created by Congress in 2000 as part of the Children’s Health Act to raise the standard of care and increase access to services for children and families who experience or witness traumatic events,” its website explains.”
