Better learn to treat yourself. You might find there are more of "him" than you think.

I think he should add this underneath the sign:


“Please visit the Neurologist down the hall. Tell them I sent you and I’ll pay for your lobotomy.”

I've seen it all now. I guess he's protected by the first amendment freedom of speech. I wonder how the medical board will handle this situation. His wife is a lawyer so I assume he consulted with her before posting this sign.

I don't discriminate against loonies. It is not thier fault, as many were born that way.

I am not sure about this but I think he could exclude them if he is not taking payments from the government

It is not about balls. It is about money. Most companies or mom and pop stores can't afford to alienate half of the population. Only in a business devoid of competition can a company or sole proprietership get away with doing this. It would make no difference if he had a sign out saying if you don't support Obama take you business somewhere else.

THe example is a classic example of what is wrong with the health care industry. You either need to have total government control or a competitive capitalist market. We have neither...something in the middle which is terrible. A lot of specialist get their referrals from Insurance companies and hospitals and the patient does not pick where he goes. It is very telling that a business owner does not worry about getting or keeping customers.
