If you are familiar with the show MASH, the doctors often treated the enemy when they were captured and wounded. I am not asking anyone to like Rush, he is a pile of shit. But he is also in medical decline and all I am saying is that any doctor that takes their oath seriously, won't choose their patients. 

Nobody is asking you to like him. I simply warn humanity in general, not to get to the point of when expressing disgust leads to a gang mentality.

I am not going to lose a lick of sleep when Rush is gone. But as long as he is alive, I do expect his doctors to do their job. It is what I would want if my doctors didn't like me being an atheist.

Why would you think Limbaugh wouldn’t receive proper care from his doctors?

Do you not keep up with the news? 

There is a push from the right to allow doctors to refuse treatment based on religious grounds in this country.

I'm pretty sure Rush isn't on any list for an abortion or even a vasectomy.

Yes, the recent spate of oncologists refusing to treat lung cancer patients is very troubling.

It’s astonishing how stupid you are. As mentioned above, the ‘push from the right’ is regarding abortion and birth control, neither of which Limbaugh is in the market for. Additionally, on what religious grounds do you imagine Limbaugh would be denied treatment?

Eedjit.

I'm convinced that Rush has as much need for a vasectomy as Ellen DeGeneres......

Rush is a nut. I don't agree with most of what he says. But I do have a level of respect for him. Mostly because he appeared on Family Guy. In an episode that was dedicated to making fun of him. But that's just me.

Having a sense of humor does count.....


During the 2000 election Florida debacle - Fidel Castro offered to send election officials to help out.... He said it straight - with just the slightest hint of a smile on his face...... Who knew the old goat had it in him?

Look at the climate around us now. Lots of right wing politicians are selling the idea that it IS ok for a doctor to discriminate on care based on religious conviction.

Lots of counties in America, including the one I live in, now have "In God We Trust" on first responders vehicles, ambulances and police cars. All one has to do to know what a bad idea that is is to look at the middle east, where Muslim states and Palestine have the Islamic Crescent Moon and Star on their first responders vehicles and Israel has the Jewish Star of David on theirs. 

If you want to argue there are still doctors that will remain neutral in giving care, I would agree. But I would not falsely assume that theocratic thinking cannot invade  hospital staff too.

All I have said, is no matter how much I hate him, when it comes to medical care, as long as he, or anyone, is still alive, regardless of personal like of any patent, doctors should not get to choose their patents.

As was explained to you earlier, any attempts to deny medical care based on religious grounds seem to be restricted to birth control and abortion. Are there cases of doctors declining to treat cancer patients on religious grounds? Or pneumonia patients? Or people with broken bones or a nagging cough? 

I agree that doctors don’t get to choose their patients, but with Limbaugh’s wealth, he is in a position to choose his own doctors. 

I think your cautions regarding Limbaugh’s care are unfounded.

Yea, ok. You think right wing doctors will stop there if more of politics favored their ideas?

I think you underestimate the cult of personality.
