The Nanny State wants to offload the parental responsibility to Doctors and make them the new navigators who prescribe welfare to their patients.

In the survey, 45% of doctors said it would greatly or moderately help their patients if they had assistance obtaining affordable housing, but 91% said it wasn't their responsibility. Well, I for one, expect my doctor to come to me, with a hammer and some lumber and build me a dang home. Just because he thinks it isn't his responsibility doesn't change the fact that it's his job, why isn't he doing it?? [/jk]

A doctor is not a social worker. However, this article easily leads into “every doctor’s office SHOULD have a social worker”.

Figuring out the diagnosis and the treatment is a full time job.
And its the only job we doctors are trained for.

They also reported that they don’t have time and aren’t compensated to address patients’ social needs.
More to the point, we lack expertise and have no right to pretend that we do. I have no more right to influence in these matters than any other voter.

Why on earth *would* it be the responsibility of physicians or any other health care professional to provide welfare services to patients?
As a PhD type doctor, I also do not think that providing welfare is my job.
The premise of this article is ludicrous.

That’s not a doctor’s job and it shouldn’t be either.

Wonder if they consider using the anal canal as a sex orifice as one of the social causes of poor health. Suspect not.
