WASHINGTON DC, Oct 11 – “Since the dawn of time, it’s been accepted that there are men and there are women, there are boys, there are girls. These are just a simple basic fact of life,” so says registered nurse Beth Serio, external relations manager at the medical watchdog organization Do No Harm. Earlier this week, Do No Harm launched a database identifying 225 hospitals that offer sex-change services. In an interview with Rebecca Weber, CEO of the Association of Mature American Citizens and the host of the Better for America podcast, Serio explained that her organization represents physicians, nurses, medical students, patients, and policymakers. Do No Harm is focused on “keeping identity politics out of medical education, research, and clinical practice.”
Beth discussed what she described as the “alarming rise of DEI [Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion] that is undermining patient care. When we allow ourselves to get led astray in these kinds of areas of social activism,” she said, “we’re doing that at the expense of best practices for our patients.” She warned that medical issues grounded in science, are now being replaced by political agendas. In fact, she says, medical schools are training doctors to prioritize identity politics over patient care.
Beth emphasizes that confusing a child’s sex and allowing them to choose their gender, instead of focusing on biological facts, leads to dangerous consequences in medicine. “We follow the science,” she asserts, urging parents and grandparents to protect their children from harmful ideologies. As she put it, “doctors and nurses have always been well trusted in their professions because we follow the science. That’s what we’re supposed to do in healthcare. And when we allow ourselves to get led astray, due to social activism, we’re doing that at the expense of our patients.”
She warned that “DEI is taking over in medical schools and in health care institutions. We’re taking a step away from teaching and training doctors and clinicians in sound medicine and instead we are teaching them to be woke warriors for social justice causes.
It impacts the language that they’re taught to use in their schools and in their practices and taught to see everything through this very racial lens, which is a huge, turn from the decades and decades of what has always been, traditionally, in medicine.”
Beth explained that “doctors and nurses have always been trusted in their professions because we follow the science and when we allow ourselves to be led astray in social activism, we’re doing that at the expense of best practices for our patients. And that really trickles down, from the tops of these institutions that push these agendas down to your average doctor or nurse who probably is not an activist but who became a doctor or a nurse because they care about health and they want to help people.”
Rebecca Weber concluded her interview with Beth Serio with a reminder that the AMAC Foundation is hosting a webinar on the threats American families are facing from extreme gender ideology. This event will be held in partnership with Do No Harm on Monday, October 21st from 8:00 – 9:00 pm ET. Space on the webinar is limited to 1,000 AMAC members and friends.
