If that's the case, he's doing potential patients a favor. I really don't think I'd want that buffoon doctoring my johnson.

During my clinical rotations, as a matter of fact, I do.

This Dr. may not literally be turning patients away, but his sign probably creates such an uncomfortable feeling for many patients that they no longer wish to go there. So in essence I think he IS turning away patients. And I suspect there IS some ethics violation in this. However, because he is a Republican, and more than likely has made a considerable amount of money over the years as a doctor, nothing is going to be done about it.

I would NOT want a doctor like this treating me. Things like this make me feel that there are probably more hidden issues and prejudices and biases in this person's heart and they probably are not going provide the best care to EVERYONE. I was seeing a nephrologist for a few months. The first day he walked in the room I felt extremely uncomfortable. it was to the point that with each visit I realized that I would not be surprised if he walked in the treatment room one day in KKK robes. THAT is just the vibe he gave off. Now this man is supposed to be a premier nephrologist, but I just did not feel comfortable seeing him, nor did I feel he was going to provide the best care for me. I left and found another doctor I am MUCH more comfortable with.

Being comfortable with your doctor is key. When he/she creates an environment that removes that feeling of comfort and you feel compelled to leave, then essentially they have turned you away.

SRSLY????? Are you saying the Democrat doctors are treating their patients for free? I hope you're kidding.

I've had friends rec doctors they loved who I hated, and vice versa. That's not a news flash, and nothing to do with politics.

That's not what I'm saying and I can't even remotely fathom where you got that from.

What are you smoking, and can I have some of it when reality is too hard to bear? Liberal physicians and dentists aren't crying poor either.

Who said anything about crying poor? What are you talking about?

WTF???? It's comments like the above is why some people hate conversing with you. You could have simply said how uncomfortable you were with him giving you care without the racially tinged slant. If he said soemthing to you that might be different but within the scope of this thread that's really not here nor there.

I was explaining WHY I felt uncomfortable and responding to a question someone posed about going to a physician despite feeling uncomfortable. I can describe that in any way I choose. What is the point of being as dramatic as YOU are being? You are blowing it waaaaay out of proportion. So don't tell me what is here or there. Seeing as how I never provided transcripts of our conversations, you can't say WHAT might be different. Stop throwing a tantrum. Grow up.

If you, deepimpact2, didn't bring racial elements into almost all aspects of your posts, then people wouldn't be so quick to point them out...have you ever considered that?

We can understand why without blow by blow telecasts from your thought bubbles.
