The point of this is to break scientific medicine entirely by destroying board certification and malpractice liability, two of the main mechanisms for the medical profession to establish the standard of care. It's impossible to overstate how destructive this change would be to medicine as a field.

![The Bolshevik peace propaganda, as an American observer put it, 'was indeed urgent and active, but ... it was much the case of a man blowing with his breath in the same direction with a full grown natural tornado'.
. Yet in their desire to avert
Russia's 'defection', the allied envoys almost persuaded themselves that the tornado would die down if only the Bolsheviks stopped blowing. Almost from the beginning of the February Revolution the British and the French ambassadors urged Prince Lvov, Miliukov, and Kerensky to suppress Lenin's party. The heads of their military missions hopefully encouraged Kornilov to stage his coup against Kerensky and the Menshevik Soviets.3 Two days before the October insurrection, the British Ambassador in quite undiplomatic language pressed the Russian Ministers for Trotsky's immediate arrest. Now when the Bolsheviks were in power, their revolutionary appeals, their disregard of diplomatic form, and their threat to publish and declare null and void the secret treaties and to withdraw Russia from the war, brought the hostility of the allies to a head. Their envoys were so bewildered by the upheaval they had witnessed and at such a loss to account for it that they were inclined to accept any crime story purporting to offer an explanation. They were half-convinced that Lenin and Trotsky were in fact Germany's bought agents and that it was German officers who had so efficiently and smoothly directed the October insurrection. One consolation was left-that the Bolsheviks would soon be overthrown; and that it was the duty of the allied powers to speed up that moment.

Sir George Buchanan wrote in his diary: "Information has now reached me, though l am unable to vouch for its accuracy, to the effect that there are six of their officer [i.e. German officers] attached to Lenin's staff in the Smolny Institute"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ccsxvd2wagk4lhrxleq7xwhq/bafkreicc7ghcivebqlzaen6glnam5xfpc3thpmcs7yimttaqkumjapd5pu)
