The Podiatrist Who Cites His Christian Beliefs To Avoid Touching HIV-Positive Feet
The chances that touching a HIV-positive man’s foot would get him infected was enough to scare a Christian podiatrist out of fulfilling his oath to medically treat other human begins. And so Steve Hardie now appears before London’s Health Profession Council on claims that he discriminated against gay men, sometimes asking a colleague to switch patients with him because, ewww, HIV is grody. Then there’s the time Hardie allegedly walked out of a training session because he thought the instructor was coming on to him. Or how about the time he made one “effeminate” patient wait an excessive amount of time for his appointment and refused to properly examine an ulcer on his foot. UPDATE: He’s been banned from practicing for a year.
This British Doctor needs to be “struck off” (i.e.- removed from
practicing medicine).

My, My, with each passing case like this, with each passing week, with the sacking of each passing christian bigot, christians stand revealed as nasty bigoted hypocrites.
Where’s the love?
Where’s the compassion?
Nowhere, because judiasm, christianity and islam are nasty, death cults which hate sex and have no love or compassion.
It’s do as we say or we’ll persecute you.

Once again, somebody claims to be a Christian and yet does the exact opposite of what Christ actually did. I’ve never read the Bible in my life and yet I know that much.

Grow up! We went through this in 1984! I admitted the very first patient with AIDS to a local hospital as a 3rd yt. medical student. Younger nurses did not want to care for him…. older ones told them to grow up and buck up. They had treated TB and Polio victims who were nearly as deathly contagious!! And it is in their oath to care for anyone. Ours too as a doctor!

Yes you can refuse a patient care, but not for a discriminatory reason.
