America’s medical system—particularly since BHO got his hands on it—is far from perfect, however, when we need life-saving care, we can count on our local hospitals. The doctors and staff are talented and will treat us with the proper care we need.
But this may not be the case for one particular hospital in this blue state.
This from thepatriotjournal.com.
One regional medical center has just announced a new slate of rules. The hospital claims they will ensure an “inclusive environment.” But if a patient is accused of breaking these rules, denial of care is a possiblity.
From The Daily Wire:
A Massachusetts hospital has implemented a policy that would conceivably deny care for a person accused of microaggressions.
In a video, Dr. Peter Smulowitz, the Chief Medical Officer at Milford Regional Medical Center, which has 149 beds, stated the hospital’s current policy.
He explained:
Everyone should expect a safe, caring, and inclusive environment in all our spaces. Our patient and visitor code of conduct helps us meet this goal. Words or actions that are disrespectful, racist, discriminatory, hostile or harassing are not welcome and will not be tolerated.
A Massachusetts hospital announcing new rules which will be forced onto its patients, is one of the most woke moves in recent years. As stated, if a patient says anything that is deemed “disrespectful,” “racist,” or “discriminatory” they “are not welcome.”
Seemingly inappropriate and extreme, but:
This could create a scenario where patients are denied
care because they’ve been accused of offending someone.
These rules appear to cover everything from “vulgar” comments to “microaggressions”—an increasingly long list of pseudo-offenses that liberals created to control speech in workplaces and schools.
This also includes protections for transgender staff.
A patient might be denied care
over their ‘body language and tone of voice.’
Anyone who has been to a hospital knows that a patient may not be in a physical or emotional state to control their body language or tone of voice. Someone suffering from pain or another ailment should not be expected to follow strict, demanding—woke—rules.
These woke guidelines can easily create a situation where a staffer gets someone kicked out of the hospital for virtually nothing.
At a time when the medical industry is suffering staffing shortages and other critical problems, this appears to be the last thing needed.
Such rules might drive good doctors and nurses from the industry. And it might very well discourage patients from visiting this hospital.
Final thought: Go woke, Go broke.
