A Florida emergency room doctor got the boot from the hospital he contracts with after he offered opt-out letters for $50 to parents who wanted their kids exempt from school mask mandates.
Screenshots of the posts obtained by a local CBS affiliate show that Warden implored parents in Leon County, Florida to reach out if they wanted a medical exemption for their child.
O/T St Charles is where the more upscale Republicans live, as opposed to Jefferson County where the working class Republicans live. But if you’re more than upscale then you live MO-2 which is West St. Louis County.
Funny how Jay didn’t mention which party these folks belong to. And we don’t have VBM here in MO. They made some special arrangements because of COVID.
Doctors in private practice commonly charge fees for certain clerical functions arising from patients’ visits (like sick notes for employers). That’s entirely fair and ethical.
Soliciting patient visits for the purpose of providing documents for a fee is unethical in that the service is circumventing a therapeutic assessment and therefore not in keeping with a physician’s duty to care. That is both unethical and unprofessional.
You may as well call yourself Doctor Nick and be done with it.
The Society for Creative Anachronism (the folks for whom a RenFaire is too modern, who like to wear tin cans and beat on each other with sticks) at St. Ambrose College in Davenport IA once sold indulgences as a club fundraiser.
St. Ambrose also functions as the seminary for the Diocese of Davenport; I’m not sure what the bishop thought about it, but it was apparently a very successful fundraiser. (Mortal sins cost more than venial sins, natch.)
