Doctor tells Obama supporters to f*** off

if i saw a note at a doctor's office that said people that voted for Bush or McCain weren't welcome I wouldn't go there either. I don't want politics to enter my doctor's mind while he's supposed to be taking care of me

In 2008, physicians practicing primary care had total median annual compensation of $186,044, and physicians practicing in medical specialties earned total median annual compensation of $339,738.

Any other BS you'd like to spread other than doctor's salaries and what your company is doing?

Wow, can't believe I missed that one-- "The average salary for a primary physician and pediatrician is about 73K a year." Even if you are trying to lie, why not pick a number that is semi-believable? Pediatricians are indeed on the low end, but few (if any) will be under 100,000. I can speak to internal medicine (considered primary care), since that's my original specialty, and there is no trouble in finding a job in the 150 to 180k range. Not the 400,000+ of a cardiologist, or even more as a dermatologist or radiologist, but quite comfortable. None of my colleagues seem too distressed about the new bill-- most are happy that some steps towards overhaul are being taken, despite the need for much more in the future (especially in terms of containing costs).

Why do you assume the doctor is a male?

I think this whole situation is awesome.

Well, since the writer was describing his or her doctor, presumably the gender is known...

No, but it does say "give no abortions." Funny what you find when you actually read the things you quote.

Because politics isn't supposed to be a sport, though both the Socialist Party and the Corporatist Party have tried hard to make it one.

I would definitely not go to this doctor for no other reason than fearing my own safety or else pretend you are a republican.

also - he went to med school at st george's in grenada. 'nuff said. i just had a roommate who got in there. dumber than rocks.

you are such a moron.

Check youtoob if you don't believe me.

Only the original Greek version says that, the modern version that any currently practicing doctors would have taken makes no reference to abortions at all.

It is a big surprise to me too. I talked with a running buddy whose daughter is just enrolled into an anesthesiology program because 'they start at $125k.'

Someone must be making the big bucks. Maybe it is just the hired helpers?

I was about to say the same thing. I'm sure even OP is smart enough to stay away from him. It kind of reminds me of that Epic Beard Man. So many people called him their hero but none would want to spent an hour with that psychopath.

All right, then stop pretending that the doctors' oath is something grounded in 2,000+ years of medical history and tradition and recognize that it's just another statement that gets changed as it becomes politically unfashionable, and we'll call it even.

You were wrong... he was right... and now you are even? By my calculations you are wrong again.

It's easy to be surprised when you have incomplete facts. Ask your buddy for details. That sounds like a nurse anesthetist program-- where an RN gets extra training to administer anesthesia, under supervision of an anesthesiologist. Pretty good pay for a nurse with 2-3 years of extra training.

If you ask an anesthesiologist to work for 125k a year it better be for 1 day a week.

Can I assume you're good with removing "under God" from the pledge and "In God We Trust" from the currency because they weren't added until the 50's? No sense muddying up 200+ years of tradition either right?

I think the altitude is getting to Doc Cassell.

I also wonder if he was rescued during our daring invasion of Grenada back in the 80's.
