serious crimes committed by QLD doctors and then covered up by our oversight authorites

Vindicated CMC Messenger and Critic to attend PCMC public inquiry: ""This PCMC enquiry has obviously uncovered a culture of corruption and/or dysfunction within the CMC. It has vindicated Jo Barber’s and my public warning issued last year about corruption and/or dysfunction in the CMC ” said Mr Messenger.

It’s now up to Premier Newman to release the findings of the final CMC reports (Mr Hunter SC) ordered by former Judge Richard Chesterman and prompted by Ms Barber’s public interest disclosures to the crime watchdog over a year ago. The Hunter report could expose serious crimes committed by QLD doctors and then covered up by our oversight authorites including the CMC, QLD Health and AHPRA.

The release of the Hunter report could further vindicate Ms Barber and my actions, better protect QLD patients and bring criminal doctors to justice. Premier Newman who launched an extraordinary personal attack on me on SKY TV a year ago - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OnjH5afz3U regarding this matter, must now give a guarantee, that the Hunter SC report’s release is not being delayed for political reasons linked to the upcoming federal election campaign in Hinkler.”"

The courts have become the sole policing body for the medical profession

Major lawsuits, with the major judgments that go with them, may not completely keep negligent physicians from practicing, but they are the one way that currently exists to deter these individuals from practicing their inept brand of medicine. "

Over the years, we have given a lot of thought to why the medical profession adheres to this code of silence. What is it about this profession that causes it to protect its own at the expense of the public?"

why doctors did not react as individuals to such an incomprehensible assertion

“I cannot help but wonder how such a situation came to develop… If I had been told by a physician, no matter how senior, that infants don’t feel pain, I would never have believed it. What constitutes the difference between my reaction and that of the thousands of physicians who did believe it?” Jill Lawson, 1988

In a letter published in the New England Journal of Medicine she questioned why doctors did not react as individuals to such an incomprehensible assertion.

The reasons why doctors traditionally take so long to question dogma are complex but we are known to be a rather conservative group of people. As late as 1974, experiments were still being conducted to ascertain whether infants felt pain.

our ignorance of the mechanisms for primary hyperhidrosis and of the effect of sympathetic ablation

Cell body reorganization in the spinal cord after elective surgery to treat sweaty palms

The amount of compensatory sweating depends on the patient, the damage that the white rami communicans incurs, and the amount of cell body reorganization in the spinal cord after surgery.
Other potential complications include inadequate resection of the ganglia, gustatory sweating, pneumothorax, cardiac dysfunction, post-operative pain, and finally Horner’s syndrome secondary to resection of the stellate ganglion.

cross-inhibitory control of various afferent in the spinal cord

In conclusion, our results suggest that cross-inhibitory control by various afferents in the spinal cord may exist in the feet as well as in the contralateral hand. The release of cross-inhibitory control by T3 sympathicotomy results in vasoconstriction and a decrease of skin temperature on the contralateral hand and the feet.

The basic neuronal network for this reciprocal organization is probably located in the spinal level (15). Therefore, the reduction in the contralateral skin temperature may be explained by cross-inhibitory control of various afferent in the spinal cord.
