Speaking of doctors……. yesterday I took my Mom to a new doctor. We’ve been looking for a good family doctor here. This was the worst doctor I’ve ever seen. His arrogance and coldness was unbelievable. He never once asked my Mom why she was there. Never addressed her by her name. Didn’t introduce himself. He just kept going through lists of questions. Any time either one of us tried to ask a question he refused to answer, saying we’ll get to that, I’m not worried about that….blah blah blah. Then he gives me a stack full of prescriptions so he can send her to get every imaginable test. (tests she doesn’t need) On the way out I noticed a plaque on the wall. “Physician of the Year” I’m thinking to myself, what morons would vote this dick physician of the year? Guess who….. a REPUBLICAN congressional committee. (my guess is he gave Jeb Bush alot of money) I’m going to write the guy a letter and tell him we won’t be back and we won’t be getting the 30 tests she doesn’t need because……..he’s an asshole. I’m also going to tell him that seeing how the Repubicans have led our country down a path of destruction that perhaps hasn’t effected him but probably has effected his patients, it might be smart to keep the fact that he’s a republican on the down low. It’s bad enough he’s an asshole. There’s my story of the day.

From the Sun Sentinel:

The American Medical Association formally apologized Thursday for more than a century of policies that excluded blacks from a group long considered the voice of American doctors.

The nation’s largest physicians group also apologized for its “dishonorable” silence during the civil rights struggles of the 1960s.

“The medical profession, which is based on a boundless respect for human life, had an obligation to lead society away from disrespect of so many lives,” the medical association’s immediate past president, Ronald M. Davis, said in a commentary to be published next week in its journal. “The AMA failed to do so and has apologized for that failure.”
