that’s what they technically stated was the reason, but what actually caused them to refuse treatment was the swastika she told the cops/security it was because he was harassing them oh well a nazi got arrested today, so today was a good day
In outpatient settings people get denied treatment for all kinds of reasons and I find one of those things being a nazi is a not unreasonable position. They're welcome to find other treatment and there's no duty to treat.
You know as well as I do that these types of justifications always end up disproportionately affecting marginalized people.
Fwiw that’s the only patient my gf has ever refused to treat unless it’s due to insurance purposes that are out of her control she had a good excuse outside of the whole nazi thing and I’m proud of her
And there are also pretextual justifications for refusal of treatment... I think that we'd be better off if healthcare providers did not bring their own value judgments (right, wrong, or indifferent) into the decision whether to provide treatment. Obviously, if it would keep them from being able to provide care for some reason, that's a different issue.
Don't feel strongly about it either way which I guess makes me fine with it in outpatient non acute settings But provider ability to treat is a big factor
I'm all for protected classes, but I'm not going to show much compassion for nazi's or pedophiles. Sorry, not sorry
Really tempered to drive over to Troy WI to see RATM with RTJ tomorrow night if I’m Covid clear by tomorrow morning. Also nervous to be in that crowd in that location right now. Seems like a mass shooter’s wet dream.
In similar news, every 3rd post on my fb feed is currently something about Ree Drummond, the Pioneer lady. I want to die.
I think it has to do with her being overweight, having heart issues, and grifting weight watchers gummies.
Excited for you Truman . Not looking like it will be in the cards for me this round. I guess it’s KC or MSP next spring. The world could be a whole lot different by then.
Watching this HBO docuseries about some Christian weight loss cult leader.. Bitch died in a plane crash on the way to a MAGA conference headlined by fucking Roger stone and a video message from general Flynn.
I’ve always assumed protected classes are people born the way they are or have become disabled, that qualifies them as a part of a group that has been proven to be discriminated against by our law courts during our history. I didn’t figure that being a racist asshole was a protected class, but then again I’m sure a republican lawmaker will try to pass that at some point soon.
Some lady called my work phone earlier looking for "Vonda." I told her she had the wrong number. She tried telling me that I must have stolen Vonda's phone. I've had this number for about 2 years.
In line at a cajun food truck, guy next to me starts talking about how he wouldn't eat at another cajun restaurant anymore because the owner got busted selling cocaine He had no idea it was that restaurant's food truck we were in line for
Obviously you stole it 2 years ago Edit add on: I opened this thread and didn’t respond for a few mins
I went like 8 years where I avoided Tom Petty’s music because I felt like it was over saturated thanks to the radio, but I’ve come back to it and it’s so goddamn good.
the production on his albums is always super good too i took an edible earlier and those drums sound great
