On November 9, the day after the election, I had an annual appointment with my OB/GYN, whom I've seen for more than 15 years. It was such a weird day — I was walking around in shock and disbelief that Donald Trump had just been elected President of the United States. I'd voted for Hillary Clinton and had cried myself to sleep watching the results roll in. In the middle of the night, I'd woken up in a panic, sure that Trump winning was just a nightmare.
While lying on the exam table that afternoon, I started a conversation with my doctor. I had never discussed politics with her or any other doctor before, but I had also never felt so devastated by the outcome of an election. It was the only thing I could think about.
"Can you believe Trump is going to be our president?" I asked her, assuming she would commiserate.

What a freaking idiot.
I count myself very lucky but I was able to find a family doctor for my children and my husband and for me.
This woman is a moron.
Whatta loser you are, Erin. You voted for a pathological liar, traitor, rape enabler, harassment enabler, and a far leftist who’s only claim to fame was riding the coattails of an equally despicable man
You’re really a BFD in your own mind, but the reality is, you’re a total idiot
They do assume everyone agrees with them. It blows my mind. I driver a cab in San Francisco and never initiate political discussions. The many passengers that do almost ALL have assumed I hate Trump with them. They don’t ask or probe or hint they just launch.
Same thing at work. They just start rambling on as if everyone in the room is a rabid leftist. My silence is deafening and my tongue has very deep teeth marks.
Intolerant liberal jackasses always “assume” everyone agrees with them. We don’t.
I got into a cab the other day, in the deep-blue East SF Bay Area (some city whose name begins with "B").
Driver: (after we'd gotten under way) So what do you think of Trump?
Me: I hope he does well.
Me: So, you want to talk about politics?
Driver: Yes, sometimes I like to talk politics.
(Silence until I reached my destination.)
Driver was some African immigrant dude.
In Sept, I lost a son to leukemia, after a 2 1/2 yr battle. I saw him take his last breath... If anything hurts in life, this is the worst a parent can experience. Prayers were being sent up to the heavens for my son... all over the country. The Lord said ‘no’... but He took the time to visit with my son. I lost my husband, suddenly, 5 months before my son was diagnosed... I am trying to get a life again, though it will never be a normal... and losing an election is just not on a par to cry over...
To deal with life and death.. the snowflakes don’t know what life is, nor how to handle disappointments.
Absolutely, this doctor just dodged the inevitable lawsuit when at some point life doesn't conform to this whacko's expectations.
And TigersEye - "like mobile IEDs that roam about actively searching for someone to trigger them" - what a perfect description, going to steal that!
She believes in unity, not division, so she will leave her doctor because she disagrees with her. What an ass. But, it’s OK, I guess, because she liked Clinton, I’m sure, and he put cigars up Monica’s vagina. You really can’t fix stupid.
Sending condolences - praying for you.
This LIB wretch should be seeing a psych doctor for mental illness. Weakling...loser.
This isn’t even fake news. It is Redbook Junk News posing as news.
Junk News like junk food will kill you...................eventually................
Dr. Oz: EEG Brain Scans Reveal Fake News Threatens Your Health
Observer ^ | 2/23/17 | Dr. Mehmet Oz

Our show will spotlight a first-of-its-kind social experiment to identify the dangerous and disruptive effect of fake news on our brains. We had high profile fake news creator Jestin Coler craft two fictional stories: one designed to prey on liberals and another on conservatives.
Women read the articles, not knowing they were fake, as neuropsychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen gathered quantitative EEG assessments.
The findings supported results of a functional MRI study recently published in Nature Scientific Reports, which showed how challenging a person’s political beliefs could activate the parts of the brain associated with emotion and self-identity.
A self-described liberal woman in our social experiment reported feeling sad after reading a fictional article on illegal immigrants, but revealed stronger irritation and anger when processing a fake story about a jailed climate change researcher. Simultaneous changes in her brain activity were also much greater when processing the climate change story and correlated with a strong emotional response of angst and fear.
A conservative woman demonstrated opposite reactions. For her, the article on illegal immigration elicited changes in brain activity changes that you would see during a physical threat.
The women were not told that the articles were fake until they were seated on stage. What happened next was startling. First, the women understandably, but awkwardly, tried to defend why they believed the false stories, rather than expressing frustration that they had been duped. This natural human tendency was highlighted by one woman’s comment that while the news was fake, it reinforced a truth she felt about our country—so the piece was tolerable.

I love it. She truly thinks she is all-inclusive and accepting of those with different views
Redbook...another liberal women’s magazine...mom said it’s crap...
That’s okay, out niece the OB/GYN is rabidly anti-Trump - works at Temple University Hospital deep in downtown Philly, serving the poor and the downtrodden, and is afraid they’ll all lose coverage if Obamacare is repealed - doesn’t understand that all her patients have coverage only because they’re on Medicaid, and once the taxpayers are on the hook for a program like that it never goes away - she’s just out of her residency - once she’s been in the field for awhile she’ll probably become like my doc who told me years ago he’d never become a physician again because of all of the outside nonprofessional interference......
My life is weird. I relish in the weirdness because every weird angle, every weird dip, is the sign of some epic battle between good and evil. Normal is for Christians who give up early and want to coast to heaven living like the world.
The Vagina Monologues were basically about “Grab the guys by the willie” so why should she be so upset about Donald putting the ambisexual shoe on the other foot? Donald gave us the Willie Monologues? Now we should be even-Stephanie, gals?
It never ceases to amaze me that these people drive cars and procreate.
Crazy as they act... somehow they can’t quite discard the last vestiges of... argh... being HUMAN! It follows them like a bad dream.
