    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

      “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.
