Professor's got it right

It is the responsibility of a medical professional to provide care to their patients regardless of their personal opinions of the patient’s lifestyles. Sadly, I read an article just earlier today about an act which attempts to undo this, the so-called Medical Ethics Defense Act in Tennessee in the United States. Shameful what things are coming to.

Oaths are not magic spells. Mengele and ishi were both md's.
To be fair their reps did take a dive.

Now you can just move to Tennessee and practice there, they have a law now protecting doctors who deny care for personal beliefs.

Ishi was head of the med school at tokyo university after.

I mean, that is sweat and all as something that particular professor thinks, but doctors in the United States don’t have to treat anyone they don’t want to, and we already see them denying prenatal care based on marital status. I’m sure sexual preference are just around the bend.

The absolute gall they have to call it a "lifestyle" like people choose to live that way one day
It's not a fucking lifestyle, LGBTQ+ people just are and they exist
They don't choose to suddenly be that way one day, they have been that way their entire life and discover that about themselves

I have doctors/technicians in the family.
And... WTF.
Do the students know the horrific, gruesome, batshit crazy stuff doctors have to witness and deal with? Not just like objects stuck in orifices, but mentally ill and abusive patients, deathly contagious ones, slow motion tragedy, stuff oozing out of the body you wouldn't believe. Criminal patients, criminal bosses and companies, drama with staff, corporate drama, other fucked up or abusive doctors, drug abuse (from the staff), plenty of sex scandals...
...And their thought is: "Patients that want to rub their genitals on the same sex? Eww. I refuse to deal with that, even professionally."
Wut?
Let's play devil's advocate and say the bigotry is somehow justified (when it's not). Still, how does that even work? Like, an anti-vaxx nurse I know makes at least some sense, by comparison.

I would still help them, I may stab right after tho.
Oh I’m sorry, I can’t seem to find the vein. Gosh, have you been drinking enough fluids?

A friend of mine is a devout Muslim from a very conservative family and a doctor: he believes that his faith has no place in his job and therefore treats all his patients equally.
I think fundamentalists of all religions should take a leaf out of his book.
Please give him my gratitude for his level of professionalism. I mean it. We need more people like your doctor friend in the world today.

"Ah, but they choose to act on it! You see, my old preacher struggled with gay thoughts all the time because of Satan. He told us so nearly every Sunday. But did he act on them? No! He was straight, just as god intended.
So those people having gay thoughts are CHOOSING to be gay when they could pray and get a wife and have children like the lord said."

I'm in a med lab program and they talk so much shit about nurses in our lectures (no offence). They even hire actors and we do conflict resolution exercises like phoning an exhausted nurse to let her know her third draw just got rejected and they need another sample or order of draw problems ect...
Don't they have a lot of male nurses where you are? Maybe because it's Seattle and a big town, but my parents in a smallish town had them too.

I'm in Toronto and just wrapping up my program so I can't really comment on that but I personally know a few male and female nurses.

This culture war nonsense has ruined us. In a humane world a person should be embarrassed and shamed for saying something like 'what if I don't feel comfortable with their lifestyle' - in ANY situation, not to mention a medical one. How about just some basic human decency? What about live and let live? Ideas that we'd all want for ourselves but somehow some of us find it so difficult to afford to others.
And before anyone comes at me with some 'paradox of tolerance' nonsense - no, in the tolerant world I dream of, there is no room for the intolerant. We cannot tolerate the intolerant if we want to live in a tolerant world.

The patients sexual orientation does in fact have no influence on their health. The only groups out of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum where you have some "right to deny" healthcare may be trans and intersex people due to them having special conditions and you might not have the knowledge to treat them accordingly. For the rest you are just batshit stupid if you care that much about what people do in their private time.

Yeah it's probably time to sleep... But the memes!
Don't feel too bad, I once had a ticket come across my desk for HIPPO violations. It took half the day to figure out what they were talking about.

"I refuse to treat left handed people. It's a lifestyle I don't agree with."
This was or maybe even still is a thing. My grandpa was forced to wear a sock on his left hand when learning to write as a child. He would be hit if he didn't.

And Mengele's skeleton is a teaching tool at the University of São Paulo, cause it's the most ironic thing they came up with.

I am an orderly that was in surgical services and we had a young girl covered in nazi tattoos that came in for surgery. We had to care for her the same as anyone else. Of course we all talked mad shit after that anesthesia kicked in.
