Hey, everybody. Welcome to the podcast today. We have a special guest, Dr. Bradley Armeyer,

who hails from Northwest Iowa. He is a board certified family physician 13 years in family

practice six years as a US Air Force physician. He's committed to treating patients and not serving

the pharmaceutical industry. He was fired from his job recently for treating a COVID patient with

hydroxychloroquine and hypermectin instead of following the standing orders to ventilate.

And I asked Dr. Armeyer to join me as part of a series that we're doing with physicians all over

the country who are examples where really casualties of this new devolution and medical practice

where the traditional role between doctors and patients, that very very personal relationship

and that obligation to treat the patient as the doctor Cephas Fed, is now being subverted and

replaced. And the role of doctors now has become as agents of state policy, which is eclipsing

their obligation not just to public health, but more importantly to the health of the particular

patient that they're treating. Dr. Mayer, thank you so much for joining me and welcome to the

podcast. My pleasure. Happy to be with you. Tell us what happened to you. Well, I've always

been a physician that's that's believed in the art of medicine. Of course, I follow the evidence,

but I found early on over the course of this last year, especially with the COVID pandemic that

the physicians are being squeezed into a box and the art of medicine was fast, fast fading.

Typically with prescriptions that we will write 20% of them can be off label and there's no

questions asked. Off label means it's a medication that is not typically used to treat a migraine,

for instance, but could be used to treat something else. Well, when I tried to use something that was

not quote unquote government or CDC approved, I got in trouble quote unquote with the healthcare

organization that I worked for. They wanted me to just strictly follow the CDC guidelines and

the guidelines that were coming down to a Vera health corporation. And so a Vera was your employer.
