[quote]A gay HIV-positive man says in court that a hospital denied him treatment and visitors, as the doctor remarked, "This is what he gets for going against God's will."
Joao Simoes sued Trinitas Regional Medical Center in Union County Superior Court. He says that the hospital admitted him in August 2011, but that "requests for his lifesaving medication were not honored," and his sister was denied visitation rights.
Susan V. Borga, M.D., from the Department of Behavioral Health and Psychiatry, allegedly approached Simoes while he was confined to the hospital's mental health wing. Borga is not named as a defendant.
Simoes says Borga was unfazed when another patient told her that he had just gotten out of prison, where he served time for murder. But her reaction was allegedly different when Simoes said that he did not work because he planned to go back to school and because of his HIV status.
Borga then allegedly asked Simoes how he got HIV, to which he responded, "I got it from unprotected sex."
The complaint then says that "Dr. Borga closed the plaintiff's file, put it down and looked at plaintiff with disgust on her face and asked, coldly, "Is that from sex with men?"
Simoes says he responded affirmatively and that, "immediately after hearing this, Dr. Borga proceeded to exit the room."
After this consultation, no nurse or doctor came to see Simoes, even though he told them that he needed to take his HIV medication, according to the complaint.
When the hospital finally permitted Simoes to call his personal physician on the third day of his stay, he learned that the doctor had already spoken with Borga about Simoes' medication, according to the complaint.
Borga allegedly responded: "You must be gay, too, if you're his doctor."
"Additionally, apparently realizing that plaintiff's doctor had an accent, Dr. Borga exclaimed, 'What, do you need a translator?' to which plaintiff's doctor had again responded that Dr. Borga needed to give plaintiff his HIV medication," the complaint states.
"Dr. Borga responded to plaintiff's doctor by stating, 'This is what he gets for going against God's will,' and hung up the phone on plaintiff's doctor."
Simoes says his sister had been at the hospital when he checked in, but the hospital refused to let her visit.
When the sister came to the hospital again on the day Simoes spoke with his personal physician, she brought her brother's medication.
"Plaintiff witnessed his sister leave his medication with the nurses' station and it was not until this time that the nurses, seeing that the plaintiff had witnessed his sister give his medication to the nurses, that the nurses eventually gave plaintiff his medication," the complaint states.
The hospital's conduct allegedly caused Simoes to miss five doses of his medication.

So much for the Hippocratic Oath
So much for 'do no harm'.
should have raped the doctor in the ass.
who's gay now
That doctor needs euthanizing.
Any doctor who uses religious reasons to deny a person for treatment should be fired.

It's actually illegal to deny treatment based on religious or moral grounds I'm sure.
He must have taken the Hypocritic Oath instead

The doctor should have their fucking medical license revoked and never be allowed to practice medicine again.
These doctors should be ashamed.
But for fucks sake stop sleeping with every guy on craigslist and especially without a condom.
A guy I went to school with in 9th grade 7 years ago facebooked me and revealed he was bi and i was excited to hear that somebody else in one of my classes wasn't straight. 5 minutes later he's asking me to have oral sex with him. I told him he was nasty and blocked him. What's with people these days?
this goes way against the ethics of medicine
I hope she gets fired and can't ever find a job in medicine again
its not your job to be a self righteous cunt and to bring your stupid personal morals into it

What if the patient is the norway mass murderer?
[QUOTE=TonyP;36169204]What if the patient is the norway mass murderer?[/QUOTE]
He's still a human being, and thus worth saving
[QUOTE=TonyP;36169204]What if the patient is the norway mass murderer?[/QUOTE]
it doesn't matter if the guy is hitler's clone baby you treat him because that's your job
I think that if a doctor refuses potentially life-saving treatment for personal reasons, and the patient dies, they should be charged with manslaughter. Does that sound a little extreme?
[QUOTE=Scar;36169216]He's still a human being, and thus worth saving[/QUOTE]
Human being only in the genetic sense.

Gay people are 2 times more sexual, it seems to be normal among our population from what I learned in experience and a college course. Even those gay guys who hang out with other gay guys are generally getting involved often. I don't even know how many I been with.

Homosexuality is a bit of a moral controversy..

He doesn't follow our morals, doesn't make him less of a human.
Being capable of self-reflection and learning is what makes people human, not genes or believes.
[QUOTE=TonyP;36169287]Human being only in the genetic sense.[/QUOTE]
STOP!
[QUOTE=Bomimo;36169549]STOP![/QUOTE]
HAMMERTIME?
[QUOTE=Bat-shit;36169540]Homosexuality is a bit of a moral controversy..[/QUOTE]
Not for people with a basic clue.
[QUOTE=Bat-shit;36169540]Homosexuality is a bit of a moral controversy..[/QUOTE]
It really shouldn't be one.
We can thank iron age dogmas for that
[QUOTE=Bomimo;36169549]STOP![/QUOTE]
YOU VIOLATED THE LAW!
[QUOTE=Bat-shit;36169540]Homosexuality is a bit of a moral controversy..[/QUOTE]
How so? It's two consenting adults doing something that has basically no affect on other people.

Guys, just a hunch, but I think J!NX is gay

I don't know about the iron age dogmas, and I don't hold history in too high regard for some known reasons, but as far as nature goes there are males and females with genitalia that go together for evolutionary purposes.
So in that sense, homosexuality, or just sexuality (which is weird and wide in humans) without having procreation in mind, is a bit of a moral controversy. Imo anyway.

You know, doing something for fun which has no impact on our people shouldn't be a moral controversy.
The only reason why polygamie and hedonism are always viewed in a bad light is christianity, or abrahamic religions in general.
