    I never will understand how somebody gets into any facet of medicine (e.g. nurse, doctor, pharmacist) and find it okay to deny anybody healthcare solely based on how the person lives. Like dude, there are better ways to make money and be a bigot at the same time. Insurance CEO comes to mind. Cannon fodder as well.

      Because nursing school will shove you through even if you should fail and it’s an affordable 2 year degree that pays. And that’s how I ended up explaining what the P in HIPAA stands for and how to operate a mask. White trash nurses are a meme.

      On a similar vein, I don’t understand doctors who are young earth creationists. Your whole job is understanding biology.

      Same answer to both; cowardly traditionalist afraid to speak their minds.

      From traditional/conservative families which value the status of being a doctor, not the “helping patients” part. Prejudiced.

        This.

        There are so, so many doctors who ended up in the profession merely for the prestige.

        Doctors aren’t smarter than everyone else, they just had the resources to be able to study for more years.
