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.

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] rusticus@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

Fuck you for blaming doctors. They’re threatened with prison because of medieval maga laws.

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Hippocratic oath, more like hypocritical oath amirite

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.

[–] jnod4@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Double edged sword. My morals won't allow me to treat a Republican

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

Ah. Healthcare denied to ICE enforcers. I am alright with that.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

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

It would be hilarious if doctors denied care to everybody who voted for this.

[–] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Any doctor that does this is a shitty fucking doctor.

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It would violate their professional oaths, and yet, somewhere there's an OB/GYN and an optometrist ready to fucking rumble

[–] joby@programming.dev 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

What weird morals do optometrists run into?

Conservativism rose out of a support for the aristocracy.

Can they also provide necessary procedures if it is required by their morals?

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

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

"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.

"It is immoral to provide health care, because that's in defiance of God's will."

  • Some doctor in Tennessee soon, probably
[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

So racist doctors are protected now?

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

I see this being repealed in record time.

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I wish I was a doctor in Tennessee now, just so I could do shit like this.

Oh yeah, that should go over super well.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Hopefully any doctor who does this gets their accreditation or certification suspended. (I think the licenses are a state operation, so that's not going to happen.)

[–] aviationeast@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Though shall not allow a politician to live... Or something like that. Sorry senator I can't treat you.

[–] randon31415@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

On call on Sunday. "Doctor, please help!" "Nope, working on Sunday violates my morals."

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Oh so now morality is wack huh.
