Doctors should only discriminate on colour…of blood as it can be diagnostically relevant
He wasn’t even being harsh, that’s just a part of the code of ethics
Someone’s fucking lifestyle shouldn’t affect a medical treatment, seeing as how everyone is the same on the inside.
Respect to that doctor
If these guys made it to med school, they must have done some serious studying. All that time with books and research and they still think SkyDaddy will punish them for helping a gay guy
I was a funeral director and graduated from the trade school. A teacher told a story about a woman who had an issue with a Jewish service and he said “theres the door, either go with the flow or leave and don’t come back”
Fix your hearts or die.
Really? You don’t agree with their lifestyle? Tough shit. I don’t agree with fucking Nazis but I’ve taken care of enough of them. Definitely don’t agree with pedophiles but damn sure treated them with respect and dignity. There are actually really awful people we have to care for. Gay people don’t even register on my radar. It’s a million times harder to take care of a man convicted of raping a child.
The Hippocratic Oath doesn’t depend on your feelings about the patient’s lifestyle. If you cannot uphold the oath, don’t be in the profession that’s requires your to take it
Lifestyle? As like indoor or outdoor? Pizza eating or ramen eating? These people are so weirdly obsessed with what happens in other people’s bedrooms. Also being gay is far from a lifestyle since it’s not a choice.
But you’ll gladly treat murderers, rapists, child molesters, etc…🙄
BASED prof
Hippocratic oath, with caveats.
Don’t they like take an oath to help anyone and everyone they can regardless of race, religion, beliefs and what not?
A body is a body. At the end of the day, doctors just treat the body anyway.
I feel like that student should rethinking things through. I mean, like, remember the whole democrats being more educated thing? In such a case, it should follow that more doctors are democratically aligned and-
Oh, who am I kidding. We’ll still extend the olive branch even if we can get away with this, cause that’s who we are… to a fault…
“lifestyle”
like wearing big hats, or bowling after brunch every Sunday.
you’d be shocked what portion of American is stuck believing what they were told in church . . . in the 80s.
I do healthcare panels for med students and PA students…or I did in the past. When I was in more conservative parts of the US, there was always one kid who would ask how to integrate their Christianity into their care of LGBT patients and keep their faith heavily involved while making them also feel comfortable.
Everyone else tried to dance around the question and it gets to me and I’m like, “It is really simple. Don’t be an asshole. If you were watching your actions like you were a character on a TV show and you think, ‘That person kinda seems like an asshole.’ Then, don’t do it! Don’t. Be. An. Asshole.”
Surprisingly, they kept inviting me back.
As a doctor you are only treating two medical genders male or female sexual orientation doesn’t come into consideration.
I’d like to shake that Professor’s hand.
What’s crazy to me is that IMO you have to be some kind of monster to even ask that question in the first place. Like, the fact that you asked implies that you considered it in the first place.
“Following that lifestyle” whatever the fuck that means lol.
Best to find these POS wannabe doctors early
Im part of a voluntary first responder group, and we have a simple rule for who gets treatment. Anyone.
As long as it is safe for us to attend to a patient, we will treat them. Doesn’t matter if its someones grandma, a child or frickin hitler.
We leave politics, gender and everything else at the door the second we put our uniforms on.
The professor had the only acceptable response.
I hate the term “lifestyle.”
People don’t seem to realize that typically held convictions (gays =bad, abortions = evil, for example) are, in fact, entirely arbitrary. Most of it is tribalism.
Medical professionals provide services critical for a functioning society, and should in no way be allowed to discriminate for any reason. It’s a slippery slope we’re on if we accept nurses and doctors to refuse caring for patients for any reason (except in cases where the patients are in some way personally – positively or negatively – involved with the person taking care of them. A nurse shouldn’t have to care for their rapist, for example).
It might be abortions or homosexuals today. Tomorrow it might be people eating grapefruit, wearing jewelry or voting this or that way.
So thankful for people like that. As a gay man when I was looking for a primary care, I made sure to find a gay doctor because the doctor is the last place you want to deal with someone who doesn’t have your best interest in mind due to who you love. It takes the stress of wondering about how homophobic they might be out of the equation.
Contraception is also “That lifestyle” . . . how many people are you not going to treat?
Why the hell he wants to be a doctor if he thinks he cant help a person based on his life choices..?
This is always the right answer: if you refuse to treat your patient, outside of the patient directly abusing you (provided you didn’t abuse your patient), then you need to work in a different field.
Hey, this is new.
Lol joke. No it’s not. Seen this a thousand times already.
They do however have to treat them according to their symptoms, biological sex and eventually the drugs they’re on, not according to their lifestyle.

its a code of ethics, not really a murder by words, and probably never actually happened
And then the blackboard clapped
This for sure happened
President Biden missed the opportunity to give the professor a Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Im putting $20 on bs that never happened
That teacher? Albert Einstein.
Im sure this happened.
