    I never will understand how somebody gets into any facet of medicine (e.g. nurse, doctor, pharmacist) and find it okay to deny anybody healthcare solely based on how the person lives. Like dude, there are better ways to make money and be a bigot at the same time. Insurance CEO comes to mind. Cannon fodder as well.

      What if the patient is a health care CEO who is known for denying health care to others?

        Make sure to leave out the patient name and occupation when filling out the healthcare paperwork to see if they are covered for whatever procedures they need.

          Oh I’m sorry, I can’t seem to find the vein. Gosh, have you been drinking enough fluids?

      Same answer to both; cowardly traditionalist afraid to speak their minds.

      From traditional/conservative families which value the status of being a doctor, not the “helping patients” part. Prejudiced.

      On a similar vein, I don’t understand doctors who are young earth creationists. Your whole job is understanding biology.
