NYT: Your surgeon is probably a Republican, Your psychiatrist a Democrat

And, your pain doctor??

"They asked the doctors to consider a group of hypothetical patients: one who smoked, one who drank, one who was overweight, and so on. They found that doctors viewed most of their patients’ health with similar seriousness and would advise similar responses. But for three of the hypothetical patients, they found differences. Those patients were devised to have health problems closely tied to hot-button political issues: One used marijuana, one owned guns, and one had a history of abortions. For those patients, Republican and Democratic doctors registered different levels of concern and said they would respond differently."

One used marijuana: criminal activity
One owned guns: constitutionally protected human right
History of abortions: a right

Let me guess.

The socialists had no problem with the the woman using federally illegal drugs, but had major problems with the woman who exercised her federally protected rights to keep and bear arms.

I was right:

"For the patient with guns, doctors who were Democrats indicated they’d be more likely to tell the patient not to keep guns at home. Republican doctors, on the other hand, would be more likely to discuss safe storage options."

Translation:
For the patient exercising her god given and constitutionally protected RIGHT to KEEP (i.e.. at home) and bear arms, the socialist doctors were more likely to attempt to infringe on her rights.

God, I hate you socialist p*ssies.

"god-given" right to bear arms?

question...

what do people think about gun ownership for those patients on opioids? not a valid concern? if not, what about incidence of clinical depression amongst chronic pain patients?

You are pivoting the topic like a politician.

Yes, these are considered "inherent" rights. "god-given" is the colloquial term. I'm an atheist FWIW.

I actually hate that socialists are p*ssies. If they would get backbones they would be much more tolerable.

I actually hate that socialists are p*ssies. If they would get backbones they would be much more tolerable. To tell someone to not keep guns at home is like telling them to not use free speech at home. Oh...socialist don't like free speech either do they? Another constitutionally protected right. Heard of "safe spaces?" "micro aggressive speech"? All socialist constructs designed to eliminate any consenting opinion from their racist, sexist, globalist, world view.

Back to original question, if this forum is a good representation, I'd say center-right for Pain Management.

What about ID puts it at the bottom of the chart?

Ever been in an HIV clinic...

 

[SeniorWrangler]

The real fun is in the comments section, doctors and doctor's wives mixing it up!

Ever been in an HIV clinic...

saw a meme on facebook saying people with HIV should not be denied safe sex, and ostracized those people who were prejudiced towards people with HIV....a democrat meme

You have the right to be the biggest a*hole you want. Doesn't mean it's a good idea, or that you should.

If you're statistically less safe with a gun in the house, it makes perfect sense for a doctor to advise against it. And the patient can feel free to ignore that advice at their own risk. How many toddler shooters have we had this year? Like, 21, right?

I get it, you don't personally see the risk as valid in your own circumstances. Just like all those wonderful folks yakking away on cell phones and texting while driving. The law of averages simply doesn't apply to you because you're so much more careful and responsible, and would never, ever get depressed, suicidal, and succeed at suicide because you had ready access to a firearm. And if you did complete the act, well, you probably deserved it anyway. No one is responsible for you, but you. So who cares if another suicidal weakling bites it. Am I at least warm?

And is the hatred really necessary? Or is that just your own paranoia about the non-existant federal gun grabbers coming for your arsenal?

Human labor is being exploited and not getting adequately remunerated. The state selecting winners and loosers by making up laws. The deep state with its supranational loyalities dont care about constitution nor any laws that were written prior to the take over.
Hospital based physicians have lost and are just enriching TPTB. Do you really think the surgeons can win this war against them by the state?
