The photos from doctors came quickly and in succession: blood-stained operating rooms, blood-covered scrubs and shoes, bullets piercing body parts and organs.
The pictures on Twitter were an emotional response to a smackdown by the powerful gun industry lobby, which took issue with the American College of Physicians’ call late last month for tighter gun control laws. The recommendations included bans on “assault weapons,” large capacity magazines and 3D-printed firearms.
“Someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane. Half of the articles in Annals of Internal Medicine are pushing for gun control. Most upsetting, however, the medical community seems to have consulted NO ONE but themselves,” the National Rifle Association tweeted.
Physicians across the United States seized on the phrasing, taking to Twitter with 22,000 comments and the hashtags #thisismylane and #thisisourlane, posting photos of their encounters with gun violence and offering their own personal stories of treating such wounds. …

Doctors kill ten times as many people.

Any doctor publishing pictures of bodies is violating HIPAA.
If they don’t take down those no guns signs in their offices and clinics, the problem will resolve itself.
No guns doctors will all be killed by their own signs.
Yo, Doogie, how much of that blood was shed by perpetrators in the commission of their crime?
Are these the same doctors who handed out oxycontin like it was candy - EVEN AFTER they knew they were destroying people?
Money money money - that sums up ‘doctors’...
Medical malpractice and oopsies are the third highest cause of premature death in the United States:

Typical "law doesn't apply to me..." elitists.
We don’t even know if the tweets are from real doctors. We already have a lot of evidence that social media is infested with bots and fake accounts.
I believe these are mostly trauma surgeons and emergency room physicians. The undoubtedly get the bulk of the Black-on-Black shootings and stray bullet crap, among other massacres. So I can’t blame them, even though I think they’re pointing their fingers in the wrong direction.
How many opioid deaths are the result of doctors over prescribing? Bet it beats gun deaths.
But such people work in the areas that have the kind of laws they are agitating for.
Excellent point. It would be just like The Ape Pee to manufacture and foment discord in order to advance the agenda of the demonicRAT party.
Not all in the medical profession agree with these libs.
As I write this, my neighbor who is an emergency room nurse, is deer hunting on her dad’s farm which adjoins ours.
I think she has shot two deer already this year.
I suspect most of those ant-tweets are bots and Soros financed shills.
“So I can’t blame them, even though I think they’re pointing their fingers in the wrong direction.”
They want their emotions to trump my rights. Our society has become highly emotional and feminized. We are going down the drain.
How many mass shootings are the result of overprescribing of antidepressants?
If the sight of blood bothers them that bad, maybe they shouldn’t be ER doctors.
I don’t hear about them clashing with illegal aliens reintroducing once-eradicated diseases back into the USA.
People who are prone to kill don’t need guns, there’s always knives, hatchets, hammers, clubs, etc., all of which can draw blood.
Some doctors - especially some of the younger ones - became snowflakes in grad school and never grew out of it.
The no guns allowed signs at Mercy hospital in Chicago sure didn’t help last week.
Such doctors are very unlikely to have been critics of Obama when he came close to allowing the Ebola virus to gain a foothold in the US.
In all cases, the consent or approval of one, by way of the act of pulling a trigger was given so there should be no issue.
Just like when they murder an unborn innocent during an abortion.
