20. Everyone is an expert in their own area
and I believe improvement in medicine, education and law must come from within as well as outside. Corruption has come from outside each of these systems and professions have suffered from a loss of their collective voices in how they wish to do their jobs and uphold their very ethics. Universities are funded by the very corporations that end up controlling these professions, so the seeds of compliance are planted early.

Workers voices have to balance the equation with outside oversight. Both are necessary for this system of checks and balances to function. Without a collective voice, working conditions and professional ethics deteriorate, and this has happened across the board in this country.

So I am sorry to say this, but there is no excuse for doctors to say they do not have time to defend the patients they serve. Their ethics demands they speak out collectively to demand better hospital conditions to match the corporate powers who care not for peoples lives. They must have independent representation, sign petitions, and get organized.

Unfortunately once again workers have to struggle again to regain their rights, right to a fair salary, job security and working conditions, and the right to perform their job in an ethical manner without outside interference. We have all lost so much.
