Hippocratic Oath? Not for patriots and infidels.
Fanatical, thoroughly indoctrinated leftists believe that their political agenda will lead to peace, justice, and equality for all, and that opponents of the left, as guardians of an old order that made for war, injustice, and oppression, deserve nothing more than to be crushed as ruthlessly as possible. Fanatical, thoroughly indoctrinated Muslims believe that they are the exponents of the divine will on earth, and that those who oppose the advance of Sharia are enemies of Allah and allies of Satan. They also should be crushed, as the Qur’an directs Muslims to be “ruthless” to unbelievers (48:29).
And now, adherents of both fanaticisms who happen also to be medical professionals are taking this inhuman imperative to heart.
Erik Martindale, a far-left registered nurse in Florida, recently announced: “I will not perform anesthesia for any surgeries or procedures for MAGA. It is my right, it is my ethical oath and I stand behind my education. I own all of my businesses and I can refuse anyone.”
No, Martindale, that’s not actually how this works, as the former nurse himself found out when his license to practice was quickly revoked. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier explained: “Healthcare is not contingent on political beliefs, and we have zero tolerance for partisans who put politics above their ethical duty to treat patients with the respect and dignity they deserve.”
It is good that Martindale lost his license, but there are many, many others like him. Another Florida nurse, Lexie Lawler of Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital, recently responded to news of White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s pregnancy as only a leftist can: “As a labor and delivery nurse, it gives me great joy to wish Karoline Leavitt a fourth-degree tear. I hope you f**king rip from bow to stern and never s**t normally again, you c**t.” Lawler is no longer employed at Baptist Health Boca Raton Regional Hospital, and has also had her license revoked.
Still, there are many others. And then there are the jihadis and jihad sympathizers, and medical professionals who are marinating in Islamic Jew-hatred. Dr. Feras Hamdan is “a family medicine physician in Cleveland” who is “affiliated with medical facilities such as Cleveland Clinic and Ashtabula County Medical Center.” Cleveland’s WJW reported in August 2025 that he has been charged with “threatening to kill U.S. Rep. Max Miller (R-Rocky River) and his family in an ‘antisemitic’ rant on a local highway.” --->READ MORE HERE
Common sense, foundational faith and ethical responsibility must guide our healthcare system
We all have deeply-held beliefs, and, thankfully, we live in a nation where we can freely express our ideas without fear of government oppression. That freedom is one of our nation’s greatest strengths. But freedom also comes with responsibility — especially for those entrusted with the lives of others. Recently, several shocking incidents have brought to light a disturbing trend: Doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals are putting politics and ideology ahead of their duty to protect the health and safety of their patients.
The examples are legion. A nurse in Florida posted on TikTok wishing White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt a severe fourth-degree tear during childbirth.
A nurse in Virginia uploaded a video suggesting ways to injure ICE agents, urging viewers to "make their lives miserable." Detectives in New York City who were injured while making an arrest were reportedly treated rudely and disrespectfully by hospital workers because staff suspected that they were ICE agents.
Even internationally, in Sydney, Australia, two healthcare workers threatened to kill an Israeli man and claimed they had harmed Jewish patients in their care. Antisemitic conduct by health care providers in Britain is so pervasive that the secretary of state for Health and Social Care admitted it was "completely failing to protect Jewish patients." These incidents are more than just shocking, unacceptable lapses in judgment. They are violations of the trust and ethical responsibility that are central to medicine.
Trust and morality are the bedrock of good healthcare. Unfortunately, that trust has already been tested and broken in recent years. The poor handling of COVID-19, combined with widespread misinformation about vaccines and the efficacy of masking, to name just two, left many Americans skeptical of the health care providers and the public health establishment generally.
Now, when medical professionals publicly express hostility or wish harm on individuals, it deepens a rift that puts the public at risk. Common sense tells us that no one should have to worry that a healthcare provider’s political or religious beliefs will affect their ability to care. Yet these incidents make that concern all too real.
Medical misconduct includes breaches of ethical duty and intentional bias. When health care professionals publicly wish harm on someone they have never met, they violate the most fundamental principles of their profession. How can patients be expected to trust a system in which those entrusted with their lives might treat them differently because of their views, religion or background? And what happens when a patient challenges them or is perceived to be "difficult"? Because of this fear, patients may delay seeking care or choose to avoid care entirely. This breach of trust is a tangible threat to public health. --->READ MORE HERE
