Somewhere between charting vitals and reading lab results, a handful of Leftist health care workers have decided X is the new waiting room – and they have been loudly announcing which patients they’d rather not treat – or won’t treat properly.

Yes, some in the medical field are beginning to sound as unhinged as the activists on the streets shielding criminal illegal aliens from ICE. Instead of keeping politics out of patient care, some are openly flirting with the idea of denying treatment or giving substandard care based on ideology – a dangerous line for a profession built on trust, ethics, and responsibility.

Let’s pause. Yes, medicine has ethics. They’re not optional add-ons, like the fancy pens drug reps hand out. Threatening to deny care or do harm to patients based on political beliefs isn’t “brave,” it’s reckless – and it erodes trust in a profession that depends on it.

The irony writes itself. These same people often lecture us about “access to care” and “equity,” then draw bright red political lines through the exam room. Support tougher immigration enforcement? Support Trump? Congratulations, you’ve apparently failed the stethoscope test. Treat yourself at home. Don’t show up in their office.

Here’s the thing: Patients don’t show up to debate policy; they show up because something hurts – or worse yet, their life is in danger. Turning healthcare into a partisan loyalty check isn’t activism – it’s malpractice. And it’s disgusting.

If health care workers want to rant, fine. But when the rant turns into threats about who deserves care or who deserves good care, maybe log off, take a breath, and remember the oath. Politics can wait. People can’t. And since these folks ARE in the medical field, maybe they need to stop in to see the psychiatrist down the hall.
