So can I just not do my job if it violates my morals?
On call on Sunday. “Doctor, please help!” “Nope, working on Sunday violates my morals.”
Oh so now morality is wack huh.
Can they also provide necessary procedures if it is required by their morals?
Good point.
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.)
"I need to take your température. Here, put this in your mouth. "
* lights fuse *
* runs out of the office *
Or:
“Here, put this in your mouth”
“Whyszit tafte so fummy?”
" It’s a rectal thermometer"
This goes in your mouth, this goes in your ear, this goes in your butt… No, wait… THIS goes in your mouth…
You mean…out the toilet?
and the last one goes in your urethra
I was hoping it would be penis :(
Me every day 😩
Be the change you want to see in the world (in minecraft)
or deny if they are christian or republican registered.
“Your chart here says you voted for donnie 3x…I’m sorry that’s a precondition called the real TDS that no one will cover…”
you also deny vaccine, promoted anti-vax on your social media pages.-denied.
Cause fuck them! There’s our place…
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.
I would be interested to hear your take on the old manga/anime “Monster”.
This also implies that the denying doctor is ok with breaking an oath to do no harm.
Double edged sword. My morals won’t allow me to treat a Republican
… and lawyers.
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.
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.
freedom works well even when it is for the antagonist.
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.
Fuck you for blaming doctors. They’re threatened with prison because of medieval maga laws.
Hippocratic oath, more like hypocritical oath amirite
And should be reported immediately. Blasted on the news.
get the good people out of america then nuke the fucking place. This is unthinkable. Hippocratic oath, anyone?
In america doctors don’t take the Hippocratic oath anymore.. Doctors of medicine still take a modified version, but “Doctors of Osteopathy” take their own special oath where they have this wonderful little section which does a LOT of heavy lifting:
…to employ only those recognized methods of treatment consistent with good judgment and with my skill and ability, keeping in mind always nature’s laws and the body’s inherent capacity for recovery.
I will be ever vigilant in aiding in the general welfare of the community, sustaining its laws and institutions, not engaging in those practices which will in any way bring shame or discredit upon myself or my profession…
And, as I’m sure you can imagine, this leaves open to the interpretation of the reader what constitutes “natural law”, “good judgment”, the “general welfare of the community”, or “practices which will bring shame or discredit”.
Also, those Osteopaths, who are not even considered doctors in many international jurisdictions, still swear to hold to the principles of Osteopathy, a pseudoscientific quackery which says that anything your body needs to heal can be produced by your body. I’m sure you can guess how that relates to vaccines.
Applies to insurance companies too. Yikes.
it allows them auto deny, things like non-christians, but doctors can refuse to take INSURANCE so doctors have some leverage.
Hey American Doctors and Nurses, Canada is looking for great physicians to practice and contribute their talents to.
Stop wasting your life and time in fascist America. Canadas fucking fabulous and awesome!!

How about engineers? Pretty please?
I hear a bunch of European countries are hiring!
Ah. Healthcare denied to ICE enforcers. I am alright with that.
You’re saving them money by automatically denying. Instead, bring them in and tell them to their face you don’t serve fascists, then charge them $800
I like the cut of your jib.
They don’t need it if the EMT arrives and they’re dead on sight.
A plain reading of the article suggests that it allows discrimination based on race, skin color, gender, and age. Of course we know that’s the point, doctors don’t want to treat minorities if they are racist pieces of s*** or otherwise bigoted, but what does the statute itself say?
The Bill of Rights is supposed to protect us against the government, but in some situations it can protect us against other people who are being discriminating f*** faces, but I have no idea what will happen now in Tennessee.
You can swear on the internet, I won’t tell mom.
Some instances censor their users’ posts.
Is that for real? Why would they do that?
In other words, they’ll let lgbtq+ people, people of color, and women die…

Sad. Wish I could just leave for a sanctuary state, but I’m stuck there.
