So can I just not do my job if it violates my morals?
On call on Sunday. “Doctor, please help!” “Nope, working on Sunday violates my morals.”
Oh so now morality is wack huh.
Cause fuck them! There’s our place…
get the good people out of america then nuke the fucking place. This is unthinkable. Hippocratic oath, anyone?
Can they also provide necessary procedures if it is required by their morals?
In other words, they’ll let lgbtq+ people, people of color, and women die…

Sad. Wish I could just leave for a sanctuary state, but I’m stuck there.
Same
This is abhorent, but heat me out: part of me kinda likes this. I’d rather know immediately if a doctor doesn’t want to treat me so that I can find one that does want to.
Can you imagine having darker skin color and being assigned to be treated by a doctor who cosplays KKK in his free time? I can’t imagine he’ll do the right thing, at worst he might outright try to make it worse or kill you. This at least gives you too the knowledge that your doctor will actually want to help you
Having said that, fuck Tennessee and fuck the united states of America
“I’d rather know immediately if a doctor doesn’t want to treat me so that I can find one that does want to”
Kind of hard to do if you’re in the ER with say an ectopic pregnancy in Buttfuck, TN and there’s one doctor on staff and if you’re not treated immediately you die.
A plain reading of the article suggests that it allows discrimination based on race, skin color, gender, and age. Of course we know that’s the point, doctors don’t want to treat minorities if they are racist pieces of s*** or otherwise bigoted, but what does the statute itself say?
The Bill of Rights is supposed to protect us against the government, but in some situations it can protect us against other people who are being discriminating f*** faces, but I have no idea what will happen now in Tennessee.
You can swear on the internet, I won’t tell mom.
Some instances censor their users’ posts.
No insurance? Oh well, let them die…
If your morals compel you to deny care to someone, they are shitty morals, you are a shitty doctor, and you are a shitty human being.
Mm, nah. First, few remarks to set context:
-the law is crap, no question about that
-whole morality concept is also crap as fuck, but let’s say this crap did allow for some people to live longer and/or healthier
And now for the neat part or why I won’t become a doctor unless forced by some apocalyptic shit: say, you know for sure the patient has caused and/or will cause immense harm and suffering to others (think killers and rapists, for example). Unless you are inhuman, you will doubt whether to help them and thus cause more suffering to other people or let this one die and prevent that, and there is nothing shitty about that.
This also implies that the denying doctor is ok with breaking an oath to do no harm.
Double edged sword. My morals won’t allow me to treat a Republican
… and lawyers.
Applies to insurance companies too. Yikes.
it allows them auto deny, things like non-christians, but doctors can refuse to take INSURANCE so doctors have some leverage.
Ah. Healthcare denied to ICE enforcers. I am alright with that.
You’re saving them money by automatically denying. Instead, bring them in and tell them to their face you don’t serve fascists, then charge them $800
I like the cut of your jib.
They don’t need it if the EMT arrives and they’re dead on sight.
So racist doctors are protected now?
You dont get to be a conservative and an a qualified doctor, unless you want a doctor who just says the lord shall heal thy wounds and sends you on your way.
So are doctors who won’t morally treat a police officers gunshot wounds.
I see this being repealed in record time.
I wish I was a doctor in Tennessee now, just so I could do shit like this.
apparently some red areas are so desperate they are willing to pay for out of state doctors, just to work in the state for few times a week, they can make bank too.
Oh sorry I meant I’m not even a doctor, let alone in Tennessee, haha.
My friend is though and recently got a $500k+ base pay with other incentives offer to go to Indiana - but they said no.
yea i heard doctors were earning around that, and more.
It would be hilarious if doctors denied care to everybody who voted for this.
