Why? He's not refusing to treat them. For decades, there have been pediatricians who have refused to treat children who are unvaccinated. And doctors all the time will refuse to schedule appointments for patients that don't have insurance or who have an outstanding bill or who are just downright difficult people. If her DH is an ER doctor and refuses to treat someone, that's different. But I don't think that's the case. And in many hospitals now, they ARE refusing non-vaccinated people from ICUs and ERs because if they only have 2 beds, and there are 10 people who need them, they are going to choose the patients with the best possible chance of reecovery, which is NOT unvaccinated COVID patients. But this is the situation they created, so they can't really be upset about it. And I don't understand why people who don't trust doctors to know how to prevent COVID suddenly trust them to treat it.

Your husband should have his license to practice medicine taken from him. Regardless of his or anyone else views, he took a hippocratic oath of ethics.

I just now realized a cruel streak in my husband that never reared its ugly head til now. He is a doctor and hates anti-vaxxers, and now that all the states with low vax rates are getting hit from the scary Delta virus, he is having a field day laughing.....WTF?? He is actually laughing that so many people are dying but he says it serves them right and we are "culling the herd". I feel like leaving him..

Can you say what your meds are?

I have a confession and it's so top secret I can't even post it here. But it's good news. Soon the cat will fully be out of the bag and I'll be able to share how fricking excited I am. :D

Got my dad in assisted living. All seemed well for a month. Picked him up this week for a doc appointment and he was a mess! Stumbling, fatigued, short of breath. Doc wouldn’t admit him and I took him home and sat while he slept for three hours. He work up alert and hungry. Turns out my dad may very well be abusing his pain meds. Of course he gets pissy and his defense is ‘what difference does it make if I am? I’m almost 87.’

Congrats! Or perhaps a bike, helmet, and lock?

because my new meds are appetite suppressors, i have to be weighed every sunday afternoon to make sure i am not losing too much weight. i am already on the underweight side medically because of some disordered eating in the past and my family knows this. yesterday my dad told me to go binge because i was getting weighed in a couple days to make sure i wasn't losing weight. this is the same man who used to yell at my sibling and i for snacking during the day.

My kid is starting college in the fall. I'm so happy for him. It's crazy to be the parent of an adult! I know he'll still depend on us for some things for a while, but he's excited about having some freedom and so am I! He doesn't drive yet though. I told him that I'd help him figure out the bus route, lol

I quit drinking a few years ago because I got really sick. I couldn't have had a drink even if I wanted to. I was sick for almost a year, but I never drank again, eve though I totally could now. When I stopped drinking, it made me see how bad it really was. And I didn't even drink that much. If you have a couple glasses of wine, you think you're fine. You're not. Anyone who's not drinking can tell. You are a little louder, a little more brazen. Nothing outrageous, but it affects you. And not in a good way. Kids notice this. Kids hear the wine o'clock and Mommy's Juice Box jokes. Honestly, when I kind of saw the behavior from the outside, it was sad. And embarassing. I'm ashamed that I behaved like that. And I don't want my kids to think it's OK.
