The correct motto of the Royal College of Psychiatry

The motto of the Royal College of Psychiatry is Let wisdom guide.

It really should be something along the lines of
Permissum nos iuguolo vetus populus

It's Latin for Let us kill old people. It what they allow doctors to do.

The RCPsych published a report confirming docotrs had killed 1,800
people a year when they started to use antipsychotics in the community
for the treatment of undesrieable behaviours in the very elderly. They
used drugs for psychosis on people who didn't have psychosis. They used
the chemical cosh.

This is the power and privilege of medicine. A doctor tells someone it's
an illness and they take the pill to treat illness. Dementia is a true
organic illness involving deterioration of the brain. As a person gets
older their brain starts to fall apart. When this happens old people can
be annoying or even aggressive. I think many people would like to use a
strait jacket in their hearts but they know it would be immoral to stick
the elderly in straitjackets.

Thankfully it's 2010 and thee is an excellent alternative. The
antipsychotics. Modern families are too busy to deal with the elderly
and their difficulty. It would reduce productivity if people had to care
for their elders. Psychiatry offered a solution: the chemical cosh. It
wasn't as obviously inhumane as a straitjacket. And it has the economics
rationale for reducing the cost of looking after the elderly.

Psychiatrists and doctors didn't really mean to kill all those people.
In one year they killed almost as many people as have been victims of
homicide by a mentally disorder person. It was a mistake. A huge one
that meant many died needlessly because society was malformed and didn't
want crazy old people being annoying.

What would a wise doctor do upon realising that they'd been killing
patients unnecessarily? They'd stop killing and hang their head in shame
at the horror perpetrated in the name of medicine. They'd sit at home
and think: did I really break the Hippocratic Oath? Am I really fit to
be a doctor?

What has happened is the chemical cosh is still continuing to be used in
the community. GPs can murder just like Harold Shipman did but they're
now evaluated on how few old people they kill. Well, technically it's
how few antipsychotics they prescribe to patients with dementia in the
community. The end result though is they're still continuing to murder
people (because now it is murder) because the use of antipsychotics in
the very elderly with demetia reduces their life expectancy by 50
fucking percent. 50%! 1,800 already dead. A straitjacket would be a
better 'treatment' but the public uproar would be too much for the
RCPsych press department to deal with so they stick with the pill that
kills and calms.

Let wisdom guide? Let them suck my balls. Fucking murders. There is no
wisdom nor healthcare in what they're dong to the elderly. It's just
murder for nothing related to healthcare. The drugs don't even fucking
treat dementia. Every doctor knows that. Every doctor that prescribes a
drug for behaviour know to reduce life expectancy is a murder.

Let wisdom guide. What the fuck.

Permissum sapiens interficio Let the wise murder. That's what medicine
represents today.

About Me

We It comes in part from an appreciation that no one can truly sign their own work. Everything is many influences coming together to the one moment where a work exists. The other is a begrudging acceptance that my work was never my own. There is another consciousness or non-corporeal entity that helps and harms me in everything I do. I am not I because of this force or entity. I am "we"
