Healthcare and Politics: A Misalignment

The intersection of healthcare and politics can lead to significant ethical dilemmas, particularly when medical professionals engage in the repression of political movements. Laws originally designed for denazification are now misapplied to criminalize various forms of resistance, reflecting a broader trend of pathologizing and marginalizing dissent. Some healthcare professionals express concern that it is malpractice to involve patients in political revolutions, arguing that such actions compromise the health and recovery of individuals. This highlights a critical misunderstanding in the perception of mental and physical health in the context of political activism, emphasizing the need to separate patient care from political agendas for a healthier society.
