Florida urologist asks Obama voters to seek care elsewhere

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

MOUNT DORA — A doctor ... posted a sign on his office door telling patients who voted for President Barack Obama to seek care "elsewhere."

"I'm not turning anybody away — that would be unethical," Dr. Jack Cassell, 56, a Mount Dora urologist and a registered Republican opposed to the health plan, told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday. "But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it."

The sign reads: "If you voted for Obama … seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your healthcare begin right now, not in four years."

If there is not very many urologist in the area and it would cause hardship to a patient to go elsewhere , then it is unethical. Personal political views should not interfer with providing quality medical care. There is no room for this. I would go out on a limb to say that this doctor went to medical school to get paid and not to provide medical care to sick people!

LOL. I love this guy.

Who does he think he's kidding.

You can't put up a sign like that in a place of business and claim, with any level of credibility, that your personal and professional sentiments are separate.

What a jerk! Someone's going to toilet paper his office bathroom.

Looks like another case of a doctor who went into the profession for the money rather than the job itself. I'd also guess there is a significant proportion of doctors in this country who toe the same line.

Nah, if he were in it for the money, then he'd willingly accept all patients and wouldn't dare alienate any of them

It is hard to believe that you are upset that a doctor would want to make money. This is the way you liberals think every thing should be "free" if it is for the common good. I had a serious accident years ago and I hope the doctor that operated on me retires a millionare. She sure made my life more liveable. She was on call that night and she said she had not done an operation like mine since her residency. Maybe 20 years had passed. Her meat and potato aspect of her practice was carple tunnel. To walk up to someone like that and slight her for wanting to make some money after maybe 10 years of study is hard to fathom. Then you have some scum bag lawyer just waiting to take it from her. Anyone wanting to have their own business is scum to you liberals. In China during the cultural revolution they had "barefoot" doctors. They had a copy of Mao's little red book and were told to heal the masses while the real doctors were in the cowsheds. Sounds like you pray for this day to come to america. "Dr why are you in jail. My crime was I wanted to make some money as some liberal university charged me so much for all the book learning"

Are you implying that Republicans have more urinary problems than Democrats?

This doctor is both an idiot and a douche in my personal opinion.
