From their Website, and emailed to me today.

Mass General Brigham is committed to providing high quality healthcare and building healthy and thriving communities. Everyone should expect a safe, caring, and inclusive environment in all our spaces.

Our Patient Code of Conduct helps us to meet this goal. Words or actions that are disrespectful, racist, discriminatory, hostile, or harassing are not welcome. Examples of these include:

Offensive comments about others’ race, accent, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or other personal traits

Refusal to see a clinician or other staff member based on these personal traits

Physical or verbal threats and assaults

Sexual or vulgar words or actions

Disrupting another patient’s care or experience

If we believe you have violated the Code with unwelcome words or actions, you will be given the chance to explain your point of view. We will always carefully consider your response before we make any decisions about future care at Mass General Brigham.

Some violations of this Code may lead to patients being asked to make other plans for their care and future non-emergency care at Mass General Brigham may require review, though we expect this to be rare.

If you witness or are the target of any of these behaviors, please report it to a member of your care team.

Many healthcare systems across the country have similar codes of conduct.

Take my healthcare business to somebody who doesn’t get their panties in a twist over relatively small misbehaviours.

I think this means abuse of staff. My wifes an RN in Boston in the Brigham system. Lots of these patients are scumbags who treat staff like garbage. Lots of homeless, drug addicts, illegals… they have a sense of entitlement that is inconceivable.

.....Refusal to see a clinician or other staff member based on these personal traits....

Is it not a patient’s right to choose one’s physicians, no questions asked? That includes rejecting “gays” and “trans”, if they make the patient feel uncomfortable!!!!

It seems to me that that policy is consistent with good health. Forcing a patient to accept a “gays” or “trans” physician, and rejecting that patient from medical care for refusal to do so, is a gross violation of medical ethics!!!!

So women will be forced to have a shemale do their gyno exams,and men will be forced to have homos tell them to turn their heads and cough?

The world has gone insane.

[dljordan]

Do they not realize they could get the dog crap sued out of them?

[Hambone 1934]

Buuuuut,its for our own good....Obviously,the serfs are too stupid to do what’s right....

[americas.best.days...]

I understand.

But this policy is not referring to that segment of the population.

This is geared towards middle class whitey who refuses the vax, won’t list his pronouns, says he can’t understand the foreign doctor.

See the difference?

[SuperLuminal]

Thought control is unbounded!

Every globalist person’s and globalist company’s wet dream...

[Antoninus]

These rules only apply to one ethnic group, one religion, and one sexual orientation.

[joma89]

It is well past time for parallel societies.

[MeganC]

Your question is similar to mine I was going to ask if this policy will keep muslims out of mass general.

[vivenne]

I believe this violates the Hippocratic Oath, but what do I know.

[vivenne]

I think they will treat these people rather well. It’s us whom they will deny care.

[vivenne]

The people you speak of no longer exist.

[vivenne]

We have a winner.

Of course there’s not a state court in Massachusetts that will rule against MGH on this. But eventually it will make it to the Federal courts.It will be interesting to see how it plays out there.

[DUMBGRUNT]

—”So, their inclusion is not really inclusive. It is just discriminatory.”

Would that include a Cake Baker’s Code of Conduct?

If we do not like it, we will not make it.

As a retiree of MGH/Brigham I can guarantee that it's not unheard of for staff to be subjected to abuse...threats...and even physical assaults. I was subject to verbal abuse and threats on a few occasions early in my tenure. Some of it was racial (I'm white).and a few years ago a very famous heart surgeon was murdered by a patient's son who was unhappy with the care his mother received.

I'd be willing to bet that unfortunate incidents happen at other large hospitals as well...and maybe even smaller hospitals.

But it will be interesting to see what happens if a patient refuses to have any kind of freak "transgendered" nurse or physician involved in their care.

[Gay State Conservative]

We had one once in our ER.He was a family member of a patient who was waiting in the waiting room. His tick was ****ing niggaz". At the time the waiting room was chock full of people ,several of whom were young,sturdy black guys.

The charge nurse had to take those guys aside and give them a crash course on Tourette's.

That was 40 years ago...but I remember it like it was yesterday.

Was an employee at “Man’s Greatest Hospital” for quite a few years. I remember when Odumbo was rolling out his health care plan, I was in a meeting room with a group of physicians who were listening to the hospital’s president heap fawning praise on the dear leader. They were applauding. This, people, is what we are dealing with.
