Milford Regional Medical Center warns it may deny care to those using 'unwelcome words' about race, gender

'Words or actions that are disrespectful, racist, discriminatory, hostile or harassing are not welcome and will not be tolerated,' the doctor says

...

Milford Regional Medical Center’s announcement about rules for its "inclusive environment" caused a recent stir with a warning to potential patients that they must follow a specific code of conduct to access their services.

Dr. Peter Smulowitz, chief medical officer at the Massachusetts medical center, had released a now-unlisted video on the hospital’s official YouTube channel Jan. 3 explaining how not just staff, but patients themselves, are held accountable for causing offense, ranging from rhetoric to a hostile tone of voice.

"Everyone should expect a safe, caring and inclusive environment in all our spaces," Smulowitz said. "Our patient and visitor code of conduct helps us meet this goal. Words or actions that are disrespectful, racist, discriminatory, hostile or harassing are not welcome and will not be tolerated."

He specified that some examples of unacceptable conduct would be "offensive comments about others’ race, ethnicity, accent, religion, gender, sexual orientation or other personal traits; refusal to see a clinician or other staff member based on these personal traits; aggressive or intimidating behavior, physical or verbal threats and assaults; sexual or vulgar words or actions; and disrupting another patient’s care or experience."

...

Smulowitz warned that "body language and tone of voice are also important parts of communication."

“...not swearing fealty to a politician makes one a snake...?”

Here is another one.

Okay, genius, point out in my post where I said a word about swearing, about fealty, about a politician, about swearing fealty to a politician. Go ahead, just one little example.

Of course, you can’t. You are so full of crap brought on by a severe case of TDS.

Recently, before I could be treated by telemedicine, I was asked my pronouns. That is very insulting to me personally. I refused to play that game, and I cancelled my appointment.

Dont mind the bearded nurse in a dress thats taking care of you. Feel safe and confident? much like being attended to by an inmate in an insane asylum playing doctor or nurse. I just love the threat that you will conform to my wishes or else

He has been investigating alll vaccines. Listened to his Spotify podcast and he is full blown exposing the bioweaponry of Lyme disease and other tick borne. Never heard of plum island until he brought it up.
Truth is. Obama defunded hypervirilization, in the US as too dangerous. What he really did was fund it in unaccountable places.
Trump is still talking about the billions of lives he saved with operation warp speed while davos is unleashing disease X. I am not never Trump. I am never liockdown, ever mask, never big pharma big government and government medical.
The conversations to deny care to those who aren’t vaxxed went on until 2023.. they may still be going on, I work somewhere else.
They mean you will obey or die.

Did I just see that a poll has a Trump/RFK ticket winning 60% in the general?

I’m afraid you did. PDJT cannot POSSIBLY be considering that greenie asshole as a running mate. He was right about one thing in his life, vaccines, and that’s just not enough.

He’s been right about a few things, and a lot of his green work was rightfully addressing pollution instead of “climate change”. But his statements on climate change have been atrocious.

Arguably 600k+ Americans have died due to the jabs that Trump pushed and RFK warned against, so I wouldn’t consider that trivial.

By far, I’d prefer a real conservative as Trump’s veep. But another Pence/Haley type? No thank you.

Unfortunately, I believe they are *all* compromised and controlled at this level, but we can only vote for whoever’s on the ballot.

Most of the staff must be barely able to speak English.
