Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Can’t wait for a gay doctor to deny treatment for a bigot and all their heads explode.

(They’re heads never actually explode and this bothers me.)

That's not what the Hippocratic Oath says. I know it's just smoke and mirrors, but that oath still means something. Any doctor who would disregard it should not be trusted with your health, and should not be practicing medicine at all.

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Hippocratic oath, more like hypocritical oath amirite

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.

[–] jnod4@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year ago

Double edged sword. My morals won't allow me to treat a Republican

[–] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

This also implies that the denying doctor is ok with breaking an oath to do no harm.

Ah. Healthcare denied to ICE enforcers. I am alright with that.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

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

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

They don't need it if the EMT arrives and they're dead on sight.

It would be hilarious if doctors denied care to everybody who voted for this.

Any doctor that does this is a shitty fucking doctor.

It would violate their professional oaths, and yet, somewhere there's an OB/GYN and an optometrist ready to fucking rumble

[–] joby@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

What weird morals do optometrists run into?

Can they also provide necessary procedures if it is required by their morals?

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

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"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.

"It is immoral to provide health care, because that's in defiance of God's will."

  • Some doctor in Tennessee soon, probably
[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So racist doctors are protected now?

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So are doctors who won’t morally treat a police officers gunshot wounds.

I see this being repealed in record time.

[–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I wish I was a doctor in Tennessee now, just so I could do shit like this.

Hopefully any doctor who does this gets their accreditation or certification suspended. (I think the licenses are a state operation, so that's not going to happen.)

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, that should go over super well.

[–] aviationeast@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Though shall not allow a politician to live... Or something like that. Sorry senator I can't treat you.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oh so now morality is wack huh.
