Don’t call me a provider. It is rooted in history to devalue physicians. Even the Nazis used it. It is rude. Thank you.

This is offensive nonsense. You're being rude to anyone of Jewish descent by parroting this BS

No, when the author posted that ridiculous & offensive blog post on twitter she was widely shamed by Jewish docs (and docs of all backgrounds) bc it misappropriated the memory of Holocaust for your disgusting agenda

I'm Jewish. You obviously are not. You don't want to be called provider? Cool. Don't try to bring the suffering of the Jewish people into it to prove your point. That simple.

Some of us despise the term provider. I was unaware of one aspect of the history of the word until a Jewish colleague wrote this article. It made me empathize and dislike the word even more. 2018 was a very popular year for making analogies to slavery. Didn't make me hate all

Too bad the bit about the German "behandler" being "freely translated" to mean "provider" is based on a translation of the word so free that it might as well be on another planet. That's not what "behandler" translates to, as German speakers have told me.https://twitter.com/Stormageddon666/status/1189124199304044545?s=20 …

Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All @Stormageddon666Replying to @gorskonYes, quite freely indeed. There's several equally plausible translations for "Behandler". "treater", "curer", "attender"... all at the very least not WRONG. Also, you'd need throw any remnants of context into the dumpster to get to this absurd nazi analogy.1 reply 1 retweet 9 likes -

Another example of how "behandler" does not translate to "provider."https://twitter.com/Desrobertl/status/1188812741508775936?s=20 …

It's really sad and pathetic how so many of my fellow physicians can fall for such bullshit because it fits in with their preexisting biases.

There is no existing bias that through out history groups have gained control over others with language. You may not agree with the analogy, but the conclusion is there. Its purpose is to undermine us as a peofession.

The "behandler"/"provider" analogy is utter bullshit based on a gross mistranslation. If you want to believe bullshit, that's your right. It is, however, similarly my right to call out that bullshit.
