hold it!
dr. jack cassell, a urologist in florida has warned patients that if they support ‘obamacare’ they can take their urinary tract problems elsewhere. he posted a sign outside of his office that reads “If you voted for Obama . . . seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your healthcare begin right now, not in four years.”
even though political affiliation is not a protected class like race, gender, sexual orienation, or disibility, bioethicists think that the good doctor is skating very close to the ethical line–”By insisting he does not ask his patients about their politics and has not turned away patients based on their votes, the doctor is “trying to hold onto the nub of his ethical obligation” says william allen, professor of bioethics, law and medical professionalism at the university of florida’s college of medicine who was interviwed by the la times.
of course, doctor cassell says he’ll treat any person that crosses the threshold but he’s not sweatin’ those that don’t. once they do enter the office, they have access to ‘research’ the doc has collected under a sign that says “This is what the morons in Washington have done to your healthcare. Take one, read it and vote out anyone who voted for it.”

Absolutely unprofessional. All the docs that refer to this guy need to stop. The AMA also should have a little chat with him, too.
Sounds like a real hard liner, doubt I’d want a guy like that going near any if my private bits
