Florida nurse gives up license after saying he won’t perform anesthesia on MAGA patients
A Florida nurse who said he would not “perform anesthesia” for “MAGA” patients has relinquished his license.
“Effective today, Erik Martindale is no longer a registered nurse in Florida,” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier wrote in an X post Thursday.
“Healthcare is not contingent on political beliefs, and we have zero tolerance for partisans who put politics above their ethical duty to treat patients with the respect and dignity they deserve,” he added.
In a since-deleted post on social media, Martindale said, “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!”
Martindale later said that his Facebook account was hacked.
A high-ranking state official familiar with the situation confirmed that Martindale relinquished his license, adding he broke the compact agreement by moving out of state to Indiana without notifying the Florida Board of Nursing.
The portal bearing Martindale’s license number and license verification on the Florida Department of Health’s website says he voluntarily relinquished his license in the “license status” field.

No, I insist he keeps his moral clarity and starves in the dark.

And that is how Trump Derangement Syndrome becomes deadly.
This is exactly what Jesus meant when he said that hearts will be hardened.
Wasn’t a female nurse de-licensed last week for saying the exact same thing?
Sorry. I was confusing Erik Martindale with female nurse, Lexie Lawler, who was fired from Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital and subsequently banned from nursing in Florida because of her TikTok wishing childbirth injuries on Karoline Leavitt.
Yep. TDS is real. The American Psychological Association (APA) should classify it as a true mental illness.
Yep. Leftism is a religion/ideology of hate (based on the belief that humanity is divided into victims and victimizers, and the victimizers must be killed).
Probably 95% of the people at the APA have TDS.
I remember the news broadcast after Reagan was shot. (Something along the lines of...) “The president joked with the doctor, ‘I sure hope you’re a Republican.’ The doctor said, “Mr. President, there are no politicians in medicine.” At the time I believed that was true. But I remember Obama giving a speech where he exhorted his fan base to, “Get in their face. (Meaning conservatives.) Be loud. Make them uncomfortable.” My how times have changed.
You can get away with that kind of crap in a blue chit hole. Florida is not that and you will not get away with that in the Sunshine State.
Idiots.
She wished the WH press secretary to have a complicated child birth resulting in lifelong injuries. Yes, Florida yanked her license too.
She needs to move to a blue chit hole where they tolerate that kind of thing. Florida is not the place for her.
“I will not perform anesthesia for any surgeries or procedures”
He must mean lidocaine for stiching up a cut hand because no nurse is administering anethesia for surgery. In my experience the Doctor did the lidocane as well. Maybe this clown handed out asperine. This drama queen ruined his career by spouting out complete medical BS.
(Martindale later said that his Facebook account was hacked)
So....why did he relinquish his license then?
He couldn’t be lying about the hack, could he?
🤔🤔🤔
DUH
At least he has his hate to keep him warm.
Always an easy sell to people because it draws upon envy, childish petulance, ignorance, laziness. To a lesser degree all the seven deadly sins.
Good.
Nurse anesthetists are a highly specialized and highly paid form of nurse. They have gone to school as long as most doctors and have to perform residencies. They can make $300k plus a year. They often start businesses and hire other NA’s to contract out to hospitals.
Don’t know if that describes this nurse but it is possible his sick leftism has cost him a great deal.
