So by this reckoning, any doctor can deny service to the overweight, smokers, wine tasters, professional boxers, coal miners, stuntmen, football players, people who prefer unprotected sex...after all by refraining from doing those things those people would certainly avoid preventable illness and injury.
would anyone want such a doctor as their doctor?
its really a blessing he outed himself so his patients can find a better doctor
This was the same doctor who told me not to wear a mask in the first place.
Told them to consider my appointment canceled.
Got a call from the doctor. He apologized said it was not his policy but hospital policy and that as he was retiring at the end of the year, partly because the hospital was run by morons, he would give me a list of doctors that would be able to treat me.
This fool reminds me of Frank Burns
“I won’t operate on him. He’s a North Korean.”
Another parallel reaction to covid as to tobacco use. Some docs don’t want to treat smokers.
However, if you’re gay and get AIDS, no problem treating that.
Or play contact sports and break a bone, get a concussion, or get paralyzed, no prob there either.
Shot during the commission of a crime? Step right up to the ER!
So much for his Hippocratic Oath.
Being afraid to treat people that might get sick and being a doctor don’t really go together so well.
I guess he swore to uphold the HYPOCRITIC oath, not the Hyppocratic Oath.
I'd be asking where I could find a new doctor.
I have an exam coming up; if my doctor pulls this I'll move on.
Just as a reminder to the douchbag doctor:
I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:
I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.
I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.
I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug.
I will not be ashamed to say “I know not”, nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient’s recovery.
I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.
I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person’s family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.
The CDC Does Not Mandate Covid-19 Vaccine For Employees
Nuff said.
Derangement. Total. How did he ever get into med school with such poor logic skills?
If he is that inept I would never go to him twice in the first place.
Wonder what his ratings are?
Interesting business move considering an approx. 50% vaccination rate in the US for a 99.7% survivable virus.
Hmmmm. Dr. Jason isn’t just really well thought of by his patients anyway.
His ratings are between 2 and 3 on a scale of 5.

If he isn’t prescribing ivermectin then he isn’t treating them anyway. If he is treating with ivermectin, they won’t die whether they were vaccinated or not.
As with any profession, some are brighter than others.
Why on earth would you go to a doctor like that?
