    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.)

      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.
