Then Howard turns to Rice with a question she didn't encounter in medical school: "Can I ask you: Last summer, why was it so hot?"
"The overall trend of the hotter summers that we're seeing [is] due to climate change," Rice says, "and with the overall upward trend, we've got the consequences of climate change."
For Rice, connecting those consequences — heat waves, more pollen, longer allergy seasons — to her patients' health is becoming routine. She is among a very small but growing number of doctors and nurses who discuss those connections with patients.

I can’t wait to ask my doctor what temp and humidity level the 3rd Rock from the sun is supposed to have at all times! I hope he puts down that speculum and starts teaching me about sun flares and stuff!
I just read yesterday that man has affected the climate by something like 0.001%. I’m ready to shoulder that weight.
We do a lot of good around this place too.
If my doctor talks to me about Climate Change, I’m talking to him about his pedophilia.
When my dr. and I discuss guns, it’s to compare our personal arsenals. If e choose to discuss “climate change,” it’s o agree on how anti-science the whole idea of AGWQ is.
Congratulations.
But still recommend you find a doctor now, before you need one. When you need one you usually aren’t feeling well enough to shop around. It is good to have a doctor, just in case.
Yeah, and he agrees with me, that it’s ridiculous to think we can control the weather. Only God has that poser.
Sorry, my doctor is too smart for that.
I rate "gun control" higher than "climate change". If any of my physicians tries to open that subject, I am GONE.
Yeah, the private shooting range is a pretty good sign!
My doctor is pretty good. I wanted an American doctor who went to an American Medical school, which isn’t that easy to find around here. He’s a Christian too, and donates his time and services to a mission in Haiti a couple of times a year. His one fault was his misdiagnosis of my son’s ulcerative colitis, which a specialist identified right away.
If my doctor told me that CLIMATE CHANGE is real, I would ask him if he sold his house and his medical office building He lives on the ocean and his office building is two blocks from his house ...
That’s what I want to hear from my doctor: Leftist Propaganda. [/sarc]
I thought this would be mostly about shrinks. In other words, if you (patient) don’t believe in it, you must be nuts.../s
LOL. I’ll send him a check right now if he can send some summer snow my way. :D
My Dentist is an Evangelical pastor. He also carries two sidearms at work.

I tried to talk my Vet into sewing me up when I sliced and diced up my hand She referred me back to my DR and he did a great job but still understood that he was fired as I do not agree with his “Treating Symptoms” with Drugs (Poison)
We get along just fine, go to the same Church and I still tell him (Boast) about how many eggs a day I eat and that although I am 15 yrs his Sr I am and can prove that I am in better shape in every Test he would like to do to me (for free) without his Drugs...
What I love most about him is his sense of humor and that he takes Cash (Insurance Not Required) ... when he was sewing me up he was telling the most Lame Jokes ever but they kept my mind off of what I was watching him do.
He also didn’t send me to a Hospital because I told him I trusted him (and that was after I Fired him) and he did a Great Job.
He is a Good Guy
My former Dr. asked me about gun ownership. I told him to come by an beat on my door at 2AM for a definitive answer.
