    Can’t wait for a gay doctor to deny treatment for a bigot and all their heads explode.

    (They’re heads never actually explode and this bothers me.)

    That’s not what the Hippocratic Oath says. I know it’s just smoke and mirrors, but that oath still means something. Any doctor who would disregard it should not be trusted with your health, and should not be practicing medicine at all.

      And yet already, doctors have been letting women in Texas and other states die mid-complex-birth-trouble for fear of losing their license. The moral code of life, at least in America, is long gone in many states.

      it allows them auto deny, things like non-christians, but doctors can refuse to take INSURANCE so doctors have some leverage.

    If your morals compel you to deny care to someone, they are shitty morals, you are a shitty doctor, and you are a shitty human being.

      This also implies that the denying doctor is ok with breaking an oath to do no harm.

      Mm, nah. First, few remarks to set context:

      -the law is crap, no question about that

      -whole morality concept is also crap as fuck, but let’s say this crap did allow for some people to live longer and/or healthier

      And now for the neat part or why I won’t become a doctor unless forced by some apocalyptic shit: say, you know for sure the patient has caused and/or will cause immense harm and suffering to others (think killers and rapists, for example). Unless you are inhuman, you will doubt whether to help them and thus cause more suffering to other people or let this one die and prevent that, and there is nothing shitty about that.

      alot of them fall through the cracks with passing grades, or the state is so desperate for health professionals they will waive somethings.

    This is abhorent, but heat me out: part of me kinda likes this. I’d rather know immediately if a doctor doesn’t want to treat me so that I can find one that does want to.

    Can you imagine having darker skin color and being assigned to be treated by a doctor who cosplays KKK in his free time? I can’t imagine he’ll do the right thing, at worst he might outright try to make it worse or kill you. This at least gives you too the knowledge that your doctor will actually want to help you

    Having said that, fuck Tennessee and fuck the united states of America

      “I’d rather know immediately if a doctor doesn’t want to treat me so that I can find one that does want to”

      Kind of hard to do if you’re in the ER with say an ectopic pregnancy in Buttfuck, TN and there’s one doctor on staff and if you’re not treated immediately you die.

        Well then you’re with an ectopic pregnancy in buttfuck TN and they dont have a doctor in staff, apparently. Maybe that hospital should see that, and then just go and hire an actual doctor

      So are doctors who won’t morally treat a police officers gunshot wounds.

          apparently some red areas are so desperate they are willing to pay for out of state doctors, just to work in the state for few times a week, they can make bank too.

      You dont get to be a conservative and an a qualified doctor, unless you want a doctor who just says the lord shall heal thy wounds and sends you on your way.
