He posted x-ray images of horrible injuries and that disqualifies him?
Disqualifies him?
Who has the power to disqualify him? I don’t.
I thought he was a great candidate for the Senate and beyond.
But he didn’t just post pictures of horrible injuries, as one might for a medical lecture.
He posted pictures of actual patients, and made stupid jokey comments about them.
Does that mean to me he is a terrible man? No, although it seems foolhardy and quite offensive. I wouldn’t want my doctor posting my images, or images of a loved one, and making wisecracks about it, would you?
The problem here is that conservatives these days don’t have to defeat only their opposing candidates. They have to defeat the establishment, the media and the sappy, sloppy easily distracted electorate.
It seems to me there is no way Dr. Wolf could win an election with these photographs and comments being used against him on television and elsewhere around the clock.
If I’m wrong, I’m wrong.
Knowing that Facebook is public, I wonder about the judgement of any doctor who feels comfortable doing it.
HIPPA rules will not allow my doctor or a lab to discuss my medical results for anything with my own family member, how does a professional decide it's OK to post my "family" member's XRay on a social website, much less make jokes about the cause of death.
