So telling people the truth is considered a fireable offence?

    A doctor wishing for people to die is never a good look.

    Strange that a doctor can't wish for people what they wanted for others.

    While true, part of being a doctor is empathy and showing dignity to all of your patients. That includes the ones you detest, whether they be hippies, pregnant teens, atheists, or Nazis.

    It's unfortunate that they are unable to voice their personal opinions outside of a medical situation. This is only going to get worse with basic statements of fact being politicized.

    But the pediatrician was right:

    In the post that preceded the end of her time at Blue Fish Pediatrics, Propst alluded to how Kerr county had – like Texas as a whole – voted in favor of Trump as he defeated former vice-president Kamala Harris in November’s White House election. Trump’s administration has since eliminated mentions of the ongoing climate crisis and its consequences, one of which is downpours like the one that devastated Kerr becoming more common. He has also mused about “phasing out” the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema), in part so that the president’s office could be in charge of distributing disaster relief funds and ultimately “give out less money”.

    It might be nice to have this pediatrician's skills in another state, perhaps a blue one.

    She added:

    “Kerr county Maga voted to gut Fema. They deny climate change. May they get what they voted for.”

    Yes, I'm in agreement. May we all have the day we voted for.
