Male Nurse Says He Will Deny Anesthesia to Republicans
Moonbattery ^ | January 27, 2026 | Dave Blount

Posted on 01/27/2026 10:44:20 AM PST by Morgana

You don’t have to be a law enforcement officer to find yourself unwelcome in a healthcare environment subverted by moonbats. On social media, registered Florida nurse Erik Martindale has publicly declared his intention to deny anesthesia to Republicans:

“I will not perform anesthesia for any surgeries or procedures for MAGA. It is my right, it is my ethical oath, and I stand behind my education. I own all of my businesses and I can refuse anyone!”

As his fellow nurse Lexie Lawler learned, until Democrats consolidate power we are not at the point where healthcare professionals can openly proclaim this attitude toward the politically noncompliant without consequences. Via Next News Network:

[Florida] Attorney General [James] Uthmeier wasted no time responding to this blatant violation of medical ethics, announcing Monday that he is “paging” the state’s nursing board to take immediate action against Martindale’s license.

“No patient should ever fear that their political beliefs will determine whether they receive life-saving medical care,” a source close to the AG’s office told reporters.

Martindale is advised to locate to a blue state, where his stance is more likely to meet with the approval of authorities.

Meet Erik Martindale, a registered Florida nurse.

He says he won’t give anesthesia for Republicans undergoing surgery and believes that’s his right and is ethical.

He needs to be fired and stripped of his license immediately.

There may come a day, Erik, when something far more important than anesthesia is denied to you. Think things all the way through before you speak with that **** mouth of yours again.

He should be fired, stripped of his license, stripped of his clothes, and thrown into an ant bed....without painkillers.

As is his right.

Florida responded with “Nurse refusing patient care will keep a license, so go unemployed, Sucker!”

I wouldn't want anyone stupid enough to say something this nonsensical and inarticulate to be administering anesthesia to me anyway.

I believe people should have the freedom to have control over their own business and refuse transactions they don't wish to take part in, so I would defend his action. On the flip side, as a Christian, in his position I'd say I would not refuse service to anyone. The difference is in our values.

If you think about it, this isn't the guy you have to worry about. It's the one who doesn't say anything, and then has an "accident" while you are under and kills you, that you have to worry about.

“On social media, registered Florida nurse Erik Martindale has publicly declared his intention to deny anesthesia to Republicans”. Dude, I think you took a step too far and fell into the abyss.

I am okay with someone refusing service to me because of my beliefs, my race, or about anything else, if they own the business I would use.

But I would make an absolute stink over it.
