Pissed-off Florida urologist to Obama supporters: Go somewhere else
Urologist Jack Cassell has a message for anyone who supports President Obama and health care reform: Find a new doctor. He posted a sign on his front door with the following message:
The sign reads: "If you voted for Obama … seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your healthcare begin right now, not in four years."
As if it weren't enough to put out that particular flavor of welcome mat, there's also this little gem:
In his waiting room, Cassell also has provided his patients with photocopies of a health-care timeline produced by Republican leaders that outlines "major provisions" in the health-care package. The doctor put a sign above the stack of copies that reads: "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."
Beyond the obvious temper tantrum, I'm at a loss to understand exactly what his problem might be. It's not like he accepts patients from a myriad of insurers. According to his Doctor.com listing, the only insurance he accepts is CIGNA. Since he's a specialist and surgeon, I can only assume he's a little angry that he might get some new patients down the road as more people are able to get health insurance and seek medical treatment?
Oh, and in case you wondered, the answer is yes. He's a registered Republican, and his wife is running for local office. For all of his education, it seems he can't be bothered to read the actual provisions of the law, preferring the Frank Luntz abbreviated version instead.
No warm fuzzies for Dr. Cassell from Rep. Alan Grayson, either.
The outspoken Grayson described Cassell's sign as "ridiculous."
"I'm disgusted," he said. "Maybe he thinks the Hippocratic Oath says, ‘Do no good.' 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?"
Seriously. I'll let the medical community sort out the ethics, but if I saw that sign on my doctor's door, I'd find a new doctor. Pissed-off urologists aren't my cup of tea.
UPDATE: Via Huffington Post, a video of the good doctor, in his own words:
I'd WANT a new doc. Please all docs that feel this way, say so, so we know who the hell you are. And the august med schools you went to may want to double check on your work, make sure you weren't cheating.
You are obviously Too Fucking Stupid to administer medicine.
me-oww!
You beat me to the punch, miss kitty! My feelings exactly.
Mitt Romney's arse, which would be ironic, since this is 'Romneycare,' contrary to teh teabagger's fact-free beliefs.
me-oww!
Would seem we have a growing political reform movement brewing. Need to amend the Affordable Health Care Act.
Seriously, would anyone
wantdare to have a wingnut as their urologist? YIKES!!this urologist deserves to have all his patients
piss down his leg.
Imagine that, a urologist is "pissed-off"!!
BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!
Perfect example that just because a person is a doctor, lawyer, whatever...doesn't mean that they aren't a complete stupid ass and failed human being.
Ya, be careful out there...

Yep... this is sad, but lots of people who go through med school care more about money than their patients. You would have no idea how many doctors I know who, even though they agree that healthcare reform is a must, vote for republicans because it's better for their portfolios.
(although, part of me thinks that it's nice to know how he feels so people stop going to him. I certainly wouldn't want to be helping his career (or wallet). He clearly does not treat all his patients equally.)
Crud, this asshole got into medical school?
I'm an undergrad; if he can get into medical school I can get a fucking Nobel Prize.
I hope all his patients go elsewhere!
I have changed doctors in the past for saying stupid things like that!
The truth will set you free but can you handle the truth?
Not to mention what this says about the guy's intelligence ... who'd want such a stupid person for a doctor.
I want a doctor that's smart.
*
He don't know DICK !!!!!!!!!!!
The truth will set you free but can you handle the truth?
Everytime he looks in the mirror.
He's basically asking his patients to boycott him. Let's hope they get the message.
His license should be suspended. I wish a doctor would tell me some shit like that. Not only would I not go anymore, I'd picket them daily.
Actually if he was my doctor I would apreciate that sign. I would leave immediately and find a doctor that is there to help people and do no harm. I don't know what he puts first. His patients or his politics.

I agree that his license should be yanked - but if this were my doctor - I wouldn't WANT to go to him - I'd absolutely find a new one.

According to the state licensing website, the good doctor doesn't accept Medicare.

this idiot to the AMA or any other board that can get his license revoked?
First - The AMA does not have anything to do with reporting a doctor regarding
conduct etc. The AMA is an organization, which allows doctors (if they choose so) to
become members of their (AMA) organization. The AMA then delivers medical data regarding the medical industry.
If you want to report a doctor regarding misconduct, the best thing to do is contact
your state medical board (http://www.mdnationwide.org/choose_a_doctor.htm) by
writing a detailed, nice, professional "Registered or Certified Letter" regarding your
situation.
Here's the website with addresses to write or email.
http://esetappsdoh.doh.state.fl.us/contactuss...
Please know that the AMA does not represent many of the physicians in the country. They only represent around 22%, far from a majority. They are all about $$$ in their pockets. They do not support the President either. All a bunch of Repugnants.
Isn't amazing that person smart enough to go into medicine could be this dumb. I have never and I do mean never heard of anyone from the left saying if you voted for Bush, Bush, Reagan etc...I will not serve you. This is absolutely childish from a professional. Lets ask him a question. When he's suffering from heart attack and the paramedics show up, should they ask him who he voted for?

The worst thing would be for his practice to continue. Maybe this will scare off enough people to make him rethink his position.

Many doctors on the eve of Medicare pissed and moaned that they'd never get paid through Medicare. And, then, for the next two decades, they made out like bandits through Medicare. Think I'll jot this doctor's name down and see if he's accepting HCR patients five years from now. (Of course he will be. Money, money, money!)
According to the state licensing website, the doctor doesn't accept Medicare now.
going to another doctor is wrong, his patients should sue for discrimination. He doesn't have the right to hang this sign. Does he have a right to "hang a sign" threatening patients for his religeous beliefs? his race? And I do mean threaten, what if he thinks you voted for Obama, are you in danger? What if you didn't but you like the reform? What if you won't say either way? In these and other cases you have reason to fear.
Of course I'd like to see the press ask how reform affects him. I dare anyone to ask him how much of it he read, what exactly is going away? etc. typical MSM botch job.
His license to practice should be revoked! And patients/community should demand it, run him out of town, no simple slaps on the wrist, i guarantee for all those who leave him some will replace, the only way is to make him out to be the simpleton, unworthy prick he is.
This guy needs to be made an example of for such a stupid stunt.this is like a form of medical malpractice almost, just pathetic.

It's a cry for help because he can't cope, and it is now affecting his work. It couldn't be more clear. Dr. needs counselling. It's a start, but there are no guarantees with men turned bad.

But it sure is unprofessional. Maybe there is some state organization that can sanction this clod.
Wonder what's next for this political clod? Have your patient sign a loyalty oath to the Reichwing before performing any services? Heaven forbid this monster would work with the politically impure.
Agree with you ape-man--it really is a cry for help, though done in an inappropriate way.

that he cant just decide who he is or is not going to help, that goes against his oath as a doctor (or it should at least).
He's saying that if someone comes to him in obvious pain he would not help them if he knows they supported the Health care bill (hopefully he would be mature enough not to mock them as well). Thats what I meant by malpractice, it's almost like malpractice as far as I'm concerned (although I doubt it has anything in common with real malpractice).

Cassell may be walking a thin line between his right to free speech and his professional obligation, said William Allen, professor of bioethics, law and medical professionalism at the University of Florida's College of Medicine.
Allen said doctors cannot refuse patients on the basis of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or disability, but political preference is not one of the legally protected categories specified in civil-rights law. By insisting he does not quiz his patients about their politics and has not turned away patients based on their vote, the doctor is "trying to hold onto the nub of his ethical obligation," Allen said.
me-oww!
I rub my nub
And it ain't genies that pop out...
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
...but I'd think that there are some genes involved.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
to refuse patients on the basis of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or disability, but who would want to go to a physician who can't be trusted to not abuse you by providing inferior care?
I would not be able to trust this guy.
If I were his patient, I would certainly make a complaint, but I still wouldn't go back to him. I don't want any doctor working on me who has already decided he doesn't like me. I sort of care about my personal safety.
Republican Hate trumps the Hippocratic Oath. Huh. That's why we shop around for our medical professionals. Let this be a valuable lesson. Don't let a racist bigot operate on you by accident, or you may not get a proper surgery. Thanks Dr. Casell for coming out! May all of you professional closet racists please come out too. Do us that service at least.
I bet there are more like Casell, but hiding, and just think, you could be their next patient! How about a nice chat with Dr. on your next vist? Just so you know where he/she stands on "things" before your "Operation".

Perhaps, like so many disgraced politicians, he just wants "more time with his family". Here's hoping a good number of his patients will take note of his sign and leave. Maybe he'll change his tune when his income drops from lack of business.

His med school is one of the easiest to get into. He did smarten up afterwards and chose an unpopular specialization. Shame on the Florida licensing board if they don't rescind his practicing license. This jerk is a punk.

Dr. Cassell doesnt seem to care about his patients. My husband did not appreciate being talked to like a child and we felt Dr. Cassell just wanted our money and didnt seem to care about him as a patient. He seems to have quite a God complex and I would not recommend his services unless you actually like to wait in the waiting room for almost an hour and then get treated like you dont matter.
It's all about the money.

Let me get this straight...all the bullshit from the right wing about how Obama was trying to take your doctor away and the reality is that people in the right-wing have actually taken someone's doctor away.

If you read most of the comments, there are a lot that say they think he's an idiot, but he has the right to speak his mind or limit who he sees. Only a few that I saw actually agreed with his sentiment.
In the long run, he only hurts himself and his practice; he will have fewer patients, and thus less income. And of course, he'll blame it all on "Obama the mad socialist"...

Jeebus, what medical school did this bozo go to, The Miami-Dade Night School of Auto Mechanics and Internal Medicine? Or was he just a business student who skipped the ethics class and took a couple of electives in "doctorology."
I'm assuming Dr. Cassell will be the 2010 recipient of the Milton Friedman Humanitarian Capitalist of the Year Award.
Now, I happen to think the HCR bill is a stinker, because I don't believe we will ever pull off a universal system with for-profit private insurance companies in place. Basically, I supported passage because I think it is a step we have to take before we can move on to something worthwhile. If we were smarter, that wouldn't be necessary, but we're not, so it is.
On the other hand, I certainly don't think "Obamacare" is all about having us die earlier. That seems like the province of people who either don't care if others are covered or those who are dead set against everyone being covered (on the theory that they already have theirs and with limited resources, adding more people will result in less care for the ones who are already getting care).
In one sense that's fine with me. Once everyone is in the system we'll be forced to confront the difficult questions (difficult for us; much simpler for the rest of the developed world) involved in creating a sustainable universal system. It's obvious we're not going to get from where we are to a sustainable universal health care system without casualties. That sucks, but I don't see any way to avoid it. Again, if we were not so effin stupid, Obama could have proposed a single payer system, the country would have jumped at the chance, Congress would have passed it with huge majorities, and in a couple of years we'd be in business.

...I'd go elsewhere of my own choice, because I have absolutely no interest in contributing to the income of a physician who refuses to treat people purely on the basis of politics. Studying medicine is supposed to be about helping humanity in general, not merely those individuals whose views conveniently happen to coincide with your own.
Never trust anyone who insists that patriotism requires you to blindfold yourself with the flag.
Do NOT turn away patients when your degree is from Hollywood Upstairs Medical College.
Hi, everybody!
Good advice.
Go to another doctor.
This is not the doctor's first effort at control of insurance reimbursement and benefits.
His 2003 book jacket states:
Around 1995 "...he and several others attempted over a several year period to create a medical insurance product in the state unlike any other before it. The goal was to form a physician and hospital owned HMO."
He also advocates the best care "right-minded providers" can deliver. Hmmm. Can anyone define "right-minded provider?" Bueller? Bueller? Bueller. Bueller? Anyone? *crickets*
He further opines in 2003 "..on the challenges in managed health care as physicians work to hold up their end in a faltering system." A faltering system? Hmmm. My memory falters; which party ran the show in 2003?

... err ... Teabag-(R)z ... ?
Snerd
However, it doesn't necessarily follows from his head-up-his-butt politics or his serious lack of judgment in putting that sign in his office that he's a lousy urologist. And neither does the off-shore med school.
I'm not saying I'd want him touching me. (Or you.) But a lot of docs essentially run small businesses, and they have that small[minded] businessmen's POV. If you threw out every winger MD (or for that matter, every MD who went to med school outside of the US), the shortage of competent physicians in the US would be a lot worse than it is.
Nor will he go out of business; he's a Republican in a red district, and Republicans being notoriously tolerant of rude, self-centered jerks, he will be administering the old how's-your-father to their bulgy Republican prostates until he decides to retire.

Imagine that. And just when it's time to cut, he asks, "Say, just who did you vote for in '08?"
No thanks.
Is he sure he's not a Proctologist? Because he's sure full of it!
Could it be that this urologist might be one of those doctors who make false claims to Medicare and Medicaid and he doesn't like the proposed fixes to try to stop fraud and abuse in those systems?
He already has his head up his ass!
My wife and I have been without health insurance for almost a year now. I have discovered without insurance I pay less then when we had insurance.
Our doctor only charges us 35 dollars a visit. We paid almost that much copay when we had insurance. Our perscription drugs only end up costing us about 120 dollars a month. Whereas our insurance was costing us almost 1000 each month. Of corse we are screwed if we get sick and have to go into the hospital.
But I just got to thinking what if in protest every healthy person out there just quit paying for their health insurance? Just dropped it? If that many people dropped their insurance I bet you we could get single payer in a matter of a couple of months. Think about it ? It would devastate the health insurance companies in just a couple of months! The whole system would change! It would cause so much turmoil we could have them over a barrel! Make them spend all the billions they have killed to get!
Getting rid of the health insurance companies would be a good thing!
A scumbag who will only touch the scumbag of fellow scumbags.
but the area of specialty affords me an opportunity to post my favorite appropriately named physician. We have a local urologist named Dick Chopp.

Sadly doctors don't learn critical thinking as part of their massive schooling. They get so caught up in the minutia of medicine and are too busy to take (and the schools to offer) a solid background in science and critical thinking.

The Doctor attended St. Georges University medical school. That should tell you all you need to know about him. That school is for rich brats with poor grades.
The MCAT scores for that crappy school are well below the national average.
Should I ever find myself in Mount Dora and in need of a urologist, I will go elsewhere.
Up here in St. Paul. I sent an open letter weeks ago to them stating I would no longer go to any doctor that voted for, donated money to, or donated time to our esteemed Gov. Pawlenty after he went on TV and said he would like to see laws changed so that hospitals can throw sick people that don't have insurance out. It made for some very interesting conversations. Suffice it to say my current doctor is a Democrat and I was told that the majority of doctors do tend to be Dem. I know almost all of the nursing staff there, my wife works there as a nurse and we do socialize regularly with everyone as well. Only 2 DR's at my clinic are Republicans just a couple nurses are. That is good as I consider my current doctor to be the best one I have had yet, I have heart problems and have met many doctors. My current one is exceptional. I wish ALL businesses, Doctors, Dentists, baby sitters, everyone would post their political affiliations on their front doors. Sure would make it alot easier to patronize real humans instead of ass-holes.
I think Dr. Cassell should do as he wishes - I cannot see any reason to save him from himself. His public and pissy stand will save his Democratic patients needless suffering and abuse. Yay!
I listen to Talk radio (Alan Colmes, Norman Goldman, Mike Malloy), and whenever a right wing is on I can tell if I'm in the other side of the house just by the loud rude pissed off tone of their voice. ALWAYS.

I suggest he obtain treatment right away.
