I’m curious, if you don’t think poor people should get healthcare or LGBTQ+ don’t deserve rights or think women are inferior to men or any policies that undermine any marginalised people

How can you treat these same people when they come to you?

I’m really curious, how? 1/ https://twitter.com/kreepklebsiella/status/1264344406733271047
Also people say medicine is not political!

Well it is political, when you deny our patients the right to live

When you deny our patients of having a roof over their head

When you put our patients at risk with your policies

When you deny the rights of our patients 2/
When you make it harder for our patients to get food on table

When you make it harder for our patients to get access to healthcare

When you think it’s okay to discriminate our patients based on what ever you decide

When you deny our patients the right to their own body 3/
So if all this happens to our patients how is medicine not political?

If you think all these are okay!

How can you treat them?

Professionalism?

Professionalism might pay our bills but it won’t make our patients life any better

So how can you help these people? 4/
If you think this is only applicable to one country,no it’s not.

Medicine is not a country, it’s a process of making humans healthy and heal them.

So I’m really curious how do you do it? 5/5
