      I’m a surgical tech, which is rock-bottom of the medical food chain, but I take my role seriously enough that it makes my blood fucking boil when people are denied care over bigoted or superstitious nonsense.

      If we’re going to hit our patients with that BS, why would we expect our patients to have any respect for the system that’s giving them the finger instead of providing care?

      If lying and cheating is what it takes to trick the system into working for a moment, then lie and cheat.

        And more power to you. I just thought it was a funny coincidence that you’re writing this with a username I could interpret as “a way not to have children”. Didn’t mean to take away from what you wrote at all. Sorry if it sounded that way.

          Oh, not at all! I was affirming your comment. When I started on the fediverse I gravitated to the medical communities cuz that was the most familiar content, so I themed the username there as well.

          Advocating for a good ol snip snip procedure tracks with that, so 100% on it checking out.

          Any ire in my previous comment was directed at the broken-ass system I work for, not your post!
