Doctor Refuses to Treat Obama Supporters Backpedals Sort Of

[Jana]

Florida urologist Jack Cassell posted a sign on his office door reading, "If you voted for Obama ... seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your health care begin right now, not in four years."

Cassell, a registered Republican, quickly backpedaled in an interview with the Orlando Sentinel, but said he's perfectly happy to lose business over the sign. "I'm not turning anybody away, that would be unethical," he told the Sentinel. "But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it."

Patients who continue past the sign on Cassell's door find a waiting room stacked with Republican pamphlets opposing health care reform, underneath a sign reading, "This is what the morons in Washington have done to your health care. Take one, read it and vote out anyone who voted for it."

Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) told the Sentinel he was "disgusted" by Cassell's behavior.

"Maybe he thinks the Hippocratic Oath says, 'Do no good'," Grayson said. "If this is the face of the right wing in America, it's the face of cruelty. ... Why don't they change the name of the Republican Party to the Sore Loser Party?"

Hey, somebody always has to take a stand for what they believe in. I voted for Obama and I'm glad I don't have any urological type problems.

My Florida eye doctor I go to forces people to watch Fox News cable channel in his office waiting rooms. He has the tv's locked so that the staff can't even change the channels when he's off for the day

If I ever move to Florida I've found my doctor. This guy sounds awesome.

Ditto. It takes balls not to be all PC in this day and age. Obama stands to fundamentally change his profession for the worst. Props to him for having the balls to say something about it.

Not a thing wrong with the way he feels as long as he doesn't damage the oath!!
