What a .
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/...296,full.storyMOUNT DORA — A doctor who considers the national health-care overhaul to be bad medicine for the country posted a sign on his office door telling patients who voted for President Barack Obama to seek care "elsewhere."
"I'm not turning anybody away — that would be unethical," Dr. Jack Cassell, 56, a Mount Dora urologist and a registered Republican opposed to the health plan, told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday. "But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it."
What a .
poor baby.
LMAO doctor
As Howard Stern so eloquently puts it Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh hhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Some Republicans are such babies!
actually i believe he's a doctor for men.
It guess when you get money stolen from you, you don't get upset?
Some Republicans are such babies!
It can't be that bad if he is actively turning away patients.
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant: I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.
I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help
I like it. You know who you're dealing with before you go in.
After all, who is interested in getting care from a guy that's more interested in politics than actually providing good care?
@Manny: Yeah, I was thinking about the Hippocratic Oath...
But he says he's not turning anybody away, even if the signs begs to disagree with him.
He's playing word games. He's not technically turning people away but he is turning people away.
I don't think he should receive any punishment for it and I agree its his prerogative to do this but I don't know many level headed people who are going to look at this and say anything other than this guy is a ty doctor with ed up priorities. If he did the same telling people who voted for McCain to go away and I was a patient I would find a new doctor.
Completely agree. His head is not in healthcare, but politics.
This is going after his livelihood. It's probably more than just politics to him.
WONDERFUL AMERICAN! THANK YOU DOCTOR CASSELL!!!
I applaud his courage to speak out against this nonsense. boo ing hoo if some of you don't like it. he isn't obligated to assist anyone he doesn't want to and its even better because he is turning down the morons who voted for this trash. I hope more doctors do the same.
He said nothing about losing money, and he wants to lose any patients who voted for Obama.
He sure is butthurt though. I can see why you like him, SnC.
what a load of crap that is ... the guy is speaking out against this ridiculous health care bill. his opinion has absolutely nothing to do with how good of a doctor he is. what about your boy Obama? do you truly think that piece of means well? do you truly believe he wants what is best for you? no ... he doesn't give two s. why don't you pick on him?
What specifically do you not like about the bill?
son who cares if he doesn't want to treat Obama voters. he ISN'T turning them away. ...... either way though I don't blame him. the majority of people who voted for Obama are freeloaders and penny pinchers with a ridiculous sense of en lement anyways. I would love to see the political affiliation for all of his clients who he has to take to court in order to pay their bills. I guarantee you they are overwhelmingly Democratic.
son just like the majority of Americans, there are countless things that I don't like about it. however for me personally, I am a small business owner and already pay an absolutely ridiculous amount of taxes to begin with. this bill will personally effect not only me, but my employees as well because I will eventually have to let many of them go.
Son, he doesn't want their business, so he can't be doing that badly, son.
Son, I guarantee you just made that up, son....... either way though I don't blame him. the majority of people who voted for Obama are freeloaders and penny pinchers with a ridiculous sense of en lement anyways. I would love to see the political affiliation for all of his clients who he has to take to court in order to pay their bills. I guarantee you they are overwhelmingly Democratic.
Son, so you can't say anything specific, son.
Son, you're pathetic, son.
son and I guarantee you voted for Obama because it was the cool thing to do.
LMAO at "Changes to your health care begin right now -- not in four years."
Son, as usual you are wrong, son.
Son, I voted for McCain, son.
