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.

[-] Meron35@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Hippocratic oath, more like hypocritical oath amirite

I hear a bunch of European countries are hiring!

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

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.

Applies to insurance companies too. Yikes.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

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

[-] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 45 points 2 months ago

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

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

They don't need it if the EMT arrives and they're dead on sight.

[-] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago

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

[-] MisterOwl@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

Any doctor that does this is a shitty fucking doctor.

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 25 points 2 months ago

Conservatives continue to be garbage

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

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

So racist doctors are protected now?

[-] Zron@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

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I see this being repealed in record time.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

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

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

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.

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

  • Some doctor in Tennessee soon, probably
[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 12 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 5 points 2 months ago

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

[-] aeternum 4 points 2 months ago

get the good people out of america then nuke the fucking place. This is unthinkable. Hippocratic oath, anyone?

[-] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

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.

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

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

[-] CaliforniaSober@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

Cause fuck them! There’s our place…

[-] boaratio@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

So can I just not do my job if it violates my morals?
