Mass. Hospital Warns It Could Deny Care to Patients Who Use Anti-Woke Language 'Words or actions that are disrespectful, racist, discriminatory, hostile or harassing are not welcome and will not be tolerated....'

The video from Milford Regional Medical Center’s website features Peter Smulowitz, the hospital’s chief medical officer, announcing that the hospital will be implementing a new code of conduct to guarantee an “inclusive” environment...“Words or actions that are disrespectful, racist, discriminatory, hostile or harassing are not welcome and will not be tolerated.”

including:

After garnering unwanted media attention following its Jan. 3 release, the video was subsequently unlisted from the hospital’s YouTube site but remained embedded and accessible via the website’s code of conduct page. It is now available for public view at Headline USA’s YouTube page

As several conservatives pointed out, it was not clear how Milford Regional planned to determine what was and was not “offensive,” making it likely that the policy would be disproportionately biased against speech that did not fall in with the woke agenda.

Most likely, the targeted words are not those which would be offensive to Christians, but those considered to be profane and vulgar in wokeducation.

We’ll see what malpractice attorneys have to say about that.
The cases will be child’s play. The suffering patient, under who knows what kind of medications, fear and pain, says something that offends a snowflake staff member. Staff member denies them medical care.

Go ahead dumbass.... roll the dice. LOL

including: offensive comments about others’ race, ethnicity, accent, religion, gender, sexual orientation or other personal traits..

The group that this is really about is trannies. The others were thrown in to pad it and not make it obvious.

I shudder to think of the doctors being created in our woke DEI medical schools today.

They’ll spend plenty of nonexistent taxpayer funds (tied up in 34
Trillion defections) taking care of pts with no funding I would bet

Imagine an ambulance rolls up on a car wreck. The person says something very insensitive, or even hateful. The ambulance decides to leave them there and not take them to hospital. They would get sued into oblivion and lose their license. It’s funny that this doctor thinks he’s somehow above that.

Smulowitz, I wonder if this bunghole is related to my sixth grade teacher who was a total a-hole.

Our country has lost its way. No getting it back unless God decides to intervene. We are so “last days”.

Revelation 13:16-18

16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.

Bible geek notes: Verse 18's "number is 666" could be translated as a non-number. "Number" in the Greek is Arithmos, which has two definition: 1) a number, or 2) an indefinite number (like a multitude). Obviously if it's a number then the characters after it mean six hundred sixty-six. But if it's the non-number definition, then the Greek characters after it have other meanings, which could be translated as "marked as one of the many unwed do-gooders". Or perhaps the "do-gooder" (my translation of agathoergo) might mean "marked as one of the unwed, or un-affiliated, followers of the beast that does good. Since the verses before verse 16 describes the beast as performing wonderful miracles, it may be that the mark of the beast, means marked as following the beast that does good".

So maybe instead of watching out for being marked with some physical or digital mark, we ought to make sure that we stay wed to Christ and never follow the ones who claim to do miraculous things (including healings like in a hospital) if it means having to disassociate ourselves (being unwed) to Christ. Not saying that going to the doctor is bad. I'm just saying if the Dims make you leave your faith outside the hospital (as this rule proposes), choose faith in Jesus over anything else.
