It is generally accepted that at least a quarter of all surgical operations performed are unnecessary. The real figure is much higher – probably half.
For some types of surgery for example: heart surgery, tonsillectomies, circumcisions, caesarian sections for pregnant women and hysterectomies – the percentage of unnecessary operations is almost certainly much, much higher than that.
At least 90% of all heart surgery is unnecessary.
With many operations (such as hernia repair) the downside is often considerably greater than the upside.
Operations are done unnecessarily for a huge variety of reasons.
Some – particularly those performed on private patients – may be done because the surgeon needs the cash because his boat needs repainting.
And some unnecessary operations are done because it’s easier to cut open a patient than it is to think about alternatives. If you go to a Ford garage, the salesman will recommend a Ford motor car. If you visit a surgeon he will recommend surgery.
As the years go by, so the number of unnecessary operations continues to increase.
And it isn’t just a problem because of the unnecessary pain and discomfort that patients have to put up with.
At least 1% of the patients who undergo surgery will die on the operating table or in the ward afterwards. One in every 100 patients who goes into hospital for an operation does not walk out again afterwards.
Of course, some patients are very ill when they are wheeled into the operating theatre.
And some patients would have died without surgery.
Many of those patients were perfectly healthy when they are taken into the operating theatre. They were having surgery because they had been persuaded by doctors that it was necessary, or that it would in some way improve the quality of their lives.
Back in 1988 (in a book called The Health Scandal) I reported that coronary artery bypass surgery (the commonest procedure performed in cardiac surgery) had been in use for nearly 30 years without anyone trying to find out how patients’ everyday lives were affected by the operation.
When a survey was eventually done, it was found that whereas nearly half of the patients who had the operation had been working right up to the time of surgery, three months after the operation, only just over a third of the men were working. And a year after the operation, nearly half of the patients were still not working. In other words, the operation had little positive effect on patients’ lives but did put a good many out of action for some time. And there were, of course, a number of patients who died as a result of surgical complications.
A bypass operation takes several hours to perform, consumes a good deal of hospital time and professional skill and can be a physically and mentally exhausting experience for a patient and his family. The mortality rate after this operation varies from surgeon to surgeon but it can be as high as 20% and anything up to a quarter of patients having the operation have heart attacks either while on the operating table or shortly afterwards.
And what makes the medical profession’s enthusiasm for coronary artery surgery even more bizarre is the fact that many patients who have symptoms of heart disease don’t need surgery at all, but stand a better chance of recovering if they are put on a regime which includes a vegan diet, gentle exercise and relaxation. (I described the utterly convincing evidence for this in my book How to Stop Your Doctor Killing You, which was first published in 1996. The chapter is entitled Conquer Heart Disease without Pills or Surgery.)
I can understand cardiac surgeons promoting heart surgery – it is for them a major source of income – but what the hell are GPs doing still referring so many patients for heart surgery?
Any GP who does so should be struck off the medical register and have his stethoscope stuffed up a suitably ill-designed orifice.
Their Terrifying Plan
21ST SEPTEMBER 2023 by Dr. Vernon Coleman
Dr Vernon Coleman’s latest book Their Terrifying Plan explains how insane, billionaire globalists are plotting to take over the world and details precisely how they have created a terrifying future designed to change life for everyone alive and for every generation to come. In the first part of the book he discusses the way things are changing. And he then provides a detailed account of the way unelected pressure groups, alliances and lobbyists such as the Council for Foreign Relations, the Bilderbergers, NATO and the WEF have taken control of everything we do. He shows how the United Nations, governments, bankers and banking institutions (such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Bank for International Settlements) have, for the best part of a century overthrown governments, started wars, deliberately created crises, stolen land, oil and other natural resources. He shows how the climate change myth and a fake pandemic were deliberately created in order to manipulate the weak and the easily led. Their Terrifying Plan is a comprehensive summary of the conspiracy now threatening our freedom and our humanity.
Their Terrifying Plan is available as a paperback and an eBook via the bookshop on this website.
The Author
Dr Vernon Coleman MB ChB DSc has been writing about drug companies and the medical profession for over 50 years. His first book The Medicine Men, published in 1975, was the first to question the relationship between the drug industry and the medical establishment. Since then he has written over 100 books (including many international bestsellers).
In February 2020, he told readers of his website www.vernoncoleman.com that the risks associated with the coronavirus were exaggerated. At the beginning of March 2020, he explained how and why the mortality figures had been distorted. On March 14th 2020 he warned that the Government’s policies would result in far more deaths than the disease itself.
In a YouTube video recorded on 18th March 2020, Dr Coleman warned that governments would use the fake ‘crisis’ to oppress the elderly, to introduce compulsory inoculation and to begin to replace cash with digital money.
He revealed that the infection had been downgraded on March 19th when the public health bodies in the UK and the Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens decided that the ‘crisis’ infection should no longer be classified as a ‘high consequence infectious disease’. Just days after the significance of the infection had been officially downgraded, governments around the world put millions of people under house arrest.
Dr Coleman was immediately banned from all social media (Facebook told him he could not join because he would be a threat to their ‘community’). Publishers banned his books and articles. YouTube deleted his ‘Old Man in a Chair’ channel, removed videos with millions of views and even banned him from looking at other people’s videos. He was demonised, lied about and libelled.
Throughout 2020, Dr Coleman issued a series of videos (often one a day) detailing the dangers of the covid-19 ‘vaccine’ and produced a number of books including Coming Apocalypse, Covid-19: The Greatest Hoax in History, Endgame, Social Credit: Nightmare on Your Street, Proof that Face Masks do more Harm than Good and They want your money and your life. His other books include Anyone who tells you vaccines are safe and effective is lying: Here’s the Proof and How to stop your doctor killing you.
Dr Coleman, a former GP principal, is a Sunday Times bestselling author. His books have sold over three million copies in the UK, been translated into 26 languages and sold in over 50 countries. Prior to March 2020 he had published over 5,000 articles and papers in newspapers, magazines and journals and had written columns for dozens of leading newspapers and magazines around the world. He was the founding editor of the British Clinical Journal and founded and published the European Medical Journal. Numerous TV and radio series have been based on his books. His novel Mrs Caldicot’s Cabbage War (about the oppression and mistreatment of the elderly) was turned into a highly successful, award winning film. In the UK, he has given evidence about the pointlessness of animal experimentation to the House of Commons and the House of Lords and his campaigns have over many decades changed Government policy. He has lectured doctors and nurses in numerous countries.
Have similar viewpoint! Prevention and reversal of disease states does not grow the medical money game. A 2017 astute research paper called “Lifestyle Medicine, A Brief Review “ nails it! Big Agra and Big Chemo are the fuel sources for Big Medicine and Big Pharma. Ignored by all who benefit from the status quo! RNA push is their ultimate tool for control of humanity!
