No medical treatment for lawyers

Here's a good one for you!

Doctor Proposes Not Treating Some Lawyers

This would clearly be discrimination under federal and state laws, but this doctor has a point, and he's making it well.

I don't feel they should be denied medical care, heck I think they would make great substitutes for lab rats!!!

Don't forget about all those healthy, well-fed organs ripe for harvesting!

The great thing about using them in place of lab rats is the lab techs do not grow attached to them!

What about the people that have a legitimate case? Should they not be able to find someone to represent them?

My father is a retired surgeon I can bet you he wouldn't agree with this.

So if your wife, kid por someone you care about dies otr is severly injured because of incompotence of a doctor you shouldn't be able to find a lawyer ,right?

Turn on your sarcasm detector, please. Of course this would not be a fair (or legal) way to practice medicine. But Dr. Hawk is trying to make a point, and one that needs to be made, IMHO. No doctor in his/her right mind would expect the AMA to endorse such a thing, but he's getting the national media attention he wanted.

Incidentally, I was a juror in a bogus medical malpractice lawsuit a few years back. Basically a woman died because she was "morbidly obese" so that she was bed-ridden. One day, she tried rolling out of bed, and a clot broke loose from her leg and lodged in her pulmonary artery. It was sad because she had a daughter, but it wasn't her doctor's fault that she didn't heed his warnings to eat properly and exercise. She had gained over 100 lbs. since she began seeing him.

Just as any service industry can choose the right to refuse service to anyone so can a medical or dental office.

There is protocol governing procedures concerning the termination of patient care (firing a patient from your practice), or choosing to refuse a new patient to your practice.

Remember that you won't be able to harvest any HEARTS from the lawyers.
