Poll on whether the Mount Dora urologist did right by stating his politics.
Edited on Mon Apr-05-10 12:04 PM by The Backlash Cometh
Should doctors bring politics into the exam room?


Yes. Doctors like Jack Cassell have an obligation to speak out when someone is hurting the nation's health-care system. (160 responses)

7. Check THIS out:
My father's a retired physician, 80-something. TOTALLY agrees with the Florida doctor. Says doctors have the right to refuse treatment to anyone under any circumstance. And he's mad at Alan Grayson for proposing litigation against the doctor.

Jesus . . . . sometimes I wish I were adopted.

8. no problem, but good catch on this poll. It is telling,
which means the message will be pissed on by that doctor. Betcha he refuses to prostrate himself before a group of angry people.

10. The problem is this doctor doesn't know what's in the bill. Yesterday on
Colmes radio show he admitted he didn't read the bill. Just like a republican. Make sure you do harm. No doctor should bring politics into the office not even literature. Especially if this man is getting money from the government health insured patients. This is nothing more than his wife running for office. Lets pray she gets defeated.
