Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is focusing his official office on fighting an abortion rights amendment.

After a month of updating Floridians on hurricanes, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis is now focusing his official office on fighting an abortion rights amendment, holding a campaign-like rally at state expense two weeks before the election.

DeSantis’ event Monday, which was capped with a prayer from the archbishop of Miami and the lieutenant governor asking people to not vote like atheists, came after the Department of Health’s top lawyer resigned over a letter he said the governor’s office forced him to send to television stations in an effort to stop a pro-Amendment 4 ad.

    I’m going to catch flak for this, but my opinion of general doctors is basically the welcome to Walmart greeters.

    Doctor - what’s your complaint?

    Patient - my heart hurts (or whatever hurts)

    Doctor - down the hall to the left, take the elevator up to 4th. There’s a specialist that can see you there. Don’t go down, or you’ll be in urology.

      Yeah that’s pretty much my view.

      My point though, is that most people conflate “doctor” with “smart person”, but that’s a false association.

      Doctors are just people who studied a lot longer, and that doesn’t make them smart, nor more credible in any meaningful way.
