This is my third time to the office. Im waiting for the Doctor to come in and whie waiting in the examination room, I spot this. I start flipping through it, and I am getting upset.
I wait for the doctor to come in. I immeditely ask him, hey what it this? why is it here? He blew me off and just said “oh its just an opinion piece” and I said, yeah, but who put it here, do you believe in this? And he just shrugged. I said, Im leaving, that is so wierd, thats weird to have in a doctors office. And I left. Ill never go back to that place.
I need a doctor who believes in science. You wanna be christain thats fine, but this literally says,for christain nationalism. gross.
Putnam CT, USA if anyone is curious. I want to post the photo in google maps reviews, but I am afraid to, even with my google account being a burner. Yes, it’s the red pocket of an overall blue state, but, I just, was not expecting to see this.
“George Bush Republican” and “Christian Nationalist” are two entirely different camps in my head.
And in my experience. I have family distinctively, unquestionably in each camp and not the other.
I’ve never seen a Christian nationalist doctor is what I’m also saying. It’s kinda wild that they wouldn’t have issues with their license; having anything like OP’s image in a waiting room is a huge professional liability.
Ah.
Is it, though? I’m not familiar with medical licensing, but technically how would it impact their ability to practice medicine?
A patient can build a case against them based on discrimination. If the doctor buys that magazine, that’ll come out in court, and even if the lawsuit doesn’t stick, it’s a waste of money. With that kind of thing hanging around, they’re basically asking to be sued.
Ah, I see.
…Yes, I can vividly imagine that being used in court.
I think that says a lot; that a practicing doctor would have this and not even see it as discriminatory. It’s been normalized that much, apparently.
