Medicine is becoming a frightening new instrument of terror, one that's apparently now spreading to the United States.
i24 News, an Israel-based 24-hour news channel, reported last month that Gaza may have its very own version of Dr. Josef Mengele, the Nazi SS officer and physician referred to as the "Angel of Death" at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
On Oct. 7, 2023, nearly 1,200 people were murdered in the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel, and 251 others were kidnapped and taken to Gaza as hostages.
One of those abductees was 19-year-old Noa Marciano, a female spotter at the Israeli Defense Force’s (IDF) Nahal Oz base, located at the Israeli-Gaza border.
Six other female spotters were also kidnapped from the base that day.
Unlike the other six, Marciano didn't make it back alive.
When her remains were returned, Israeli authorities were told that she'd been killed during an Israeli airstrike on Gaza. She was actually murdered.
IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari confirmed that a pathology report revealed "Noa was injured by the strike, but not in a life-threatening manner."
Noa's father, Avi Marciano, disclosed the actual cause of death, which took place at Gaza's Shifa hospital, where she was taken to treat her injuries.
He learned this from a video of her murder the family received via the Telegram network.
The video depicted a medical professional injecting air into her veins, causing her death.
"They chose to murder her instead of taking care of her. It was a doctor who did it, in a hospital. She was injured by air force bombings and was taken to Shifa," Marciano said.
"A medic decided to murder her," he added, and described watching his daughter in the video "begging for her life. In the end, one can see Noa. In it, she's sweating, but there is no life in her body."
Horrifying, right?
It's a good thing something like that could never happen in the United States — or could it?
Libs of TikTok (LOTT) is a popular site that searches the internet for outrageous videos and statements posted by members of the far-left, and they recently found some doozies coming from medical professionals.
The latest, a video released Monday evening, featured a nurse who claimed to work at Virginia's VCU Medical Center system.
"Meet Melinda, a healthcare worker at @VCUHealth. She posted a series of videos encouraging people to inject ICE agents with succinylcholine, a temporary paralysis drug, and spray poison on them.
"She also encourages woman to go on dates with agents and drug their food," LOTT explained, before addressing her employer.
"Any comment @VCUHealth? How can you have such a vile person working with patients? How can anyone feel safe at your facilities if you employ such people?"
VCU Health responded yesterday in a statement.
"We are aware of a series of videos that appear to have been posted by an individual confirmed to be an employee of our health system," the statement said.
"The content of the videos is highly inappropriate and does not reflect the integrity or values of our health system."
Then they got down to business.
"VCU Police are assisting with this investigation," VCU Health continued, and confirmed that the employee "is on administrative leave and will not be in our facilities or interacting with patients."
LOTT released another post Sunday night, this one allegedly written by a male nurse.
"Meet Erik Martindale, a registered Florida nurse, LOTT began. "He says he won't give anesthesia for Republicans undergoing surgery and believes that’s his right and is ethical."
LOTT concluded that "He needs to be fired and stripped of his license immediately," and tagged the @FLNursingBoard.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced that he's seeking disciplinary action against Martindale, who was confirmed to be a Miami-area nurse. Martindale, meanwhile, denied writing the posts.
Libs of TikTok wasn't buying it, though.
"UPDATE: Erik is now claiming his FB [Facebook] and IG [Instagram] were hacked. There’s a slight problem. It was on threads too. Was your threads also hacked Erik??" LOTT asked.
"Nobody is buying this Erik. We have all the receipts!"
The damage these two nurses inflicted goes far beyond anything they may have personally said or done.
When we're in a hospital or urgent care center, we need to be reassured by the appearance of a medical professional.
The loss of that very reassurance we're supposed to experience makes their alleged statements all the more despicable.
Questioning the motives of the medical professionals into which we've traditionally placed our greatest trust leads to a very uneasy, even unhealthy, relationship.
