Welcome to Frontline Field Notes
This isn’t a blog. It’s a dispatch from the collapse.
The story behind the rules—and the reason this site exists.
I’m a frontline emergency doctor. I’ve worked through pandemics, system failures, political sabotage, and moral betrayals—most of them from inside the institutions that were supposed to protect people. I didn’t set out to be a whistleblower. I didn’t ask to become a target. But when you watch people die while leaders lie, you eventually have to choose: complicity or confrontation.
The system will always choose itself. That’s the first rule.
Institutions don’t exist to serve people. They exist to preserve authority. And when that authority is threatened—by truth, by facts, by conscience—they retaliate. They’ll call you unprofessional. Disruptive. Angry. Political. Anything to make you the problem instead of the thing you’re pointing to.
But here’s what they won’t tell you:
Legitimacy isn’t earned through truth. It’s enforced through belief.
If enough people believe a lie, it becomes policy. If enough people fear the consequences of honesty, silence becomes the rule.
This site exists to break that silence.
To tell the truth about what’s happening inside medicine.
To document what happens to people who try to stop the harm.
And to warn anyone who thinks “it can’t happen here” that it already has.
I will not sanitize the language for comfort. I will not pretend neutrality is the same thing as objectivity. I’ve seen what happens when “professionalism” becomes a muzzle. I’ve lived through the weaponization of bureaucracy, the co-option of ethics boards, and the outright refusal of medical institutions to act while disinformation killed real people.
This isn’t about one policy, one bad actor, or one hospital. It’s about power.
Who gets to define reality.
Who gets to cause harm without consequence.
And who gets erased when they try to stop it.
If you’re looking for hope, you might find it here—but it won’t be wrapped in PR. It won’t be handed out by committee. It will be in the stories of those who stayed in the fight when the system told them to shut up and get back to work.
Welcome to Frontline Field Notes.
Read everything. Question everything.
And if something here rings true, don’t look away.
