Today I had to go to the doctors for a physical exam in order to finish my paperwork for my new job. As he was doing the regular checking of my lungs and throat, he began to go off on a tangent about health care and Obama. He's a hardcore republican, and makes that apparent, but i dont really give a shit when it comes to my doctors. Give me my medicine and I'll be out of your way.

Only this time he decided to talk for a good 20 minutes, his voice escalating and fingers pointed quite closely. I usually don't have a comfort level, and it takes me a long time to get generally pissed off at a stranger, but I was EXTREMELY uncomfortable. I told him, "look, I dont give a shit about your political views about Obama so lets just fill out this paperwork and I'll be out of your way." These are a few things he said afterwards: "I want to kill all democrats for voting for Obama. He's stupid, he-blahblahblah *ignore moment*. YOU SHOULDNT HAVE VOTED FOR HIM!!!!" I was pretty shocked.

"What makes you think I voted for him or that I'm even a democrat?" I say calmly, which is about the only other thing I said. He preceded to stare me down as I asked him, "oh its because of the way I look?" and he said "WELL YEAH". After this I just gave up, walked out and told the people at the front desk what he had said and that I will be changing doctors after tommorow (i have to go back in to get a TB test from the nurse). The people waiting just nodded their head and said, "hes just like that honey".

That's not an excuse, and I'm tired of people agreeing with me but nothing is to be done. Yeah he's annoying, yeah he preaches about god and politics and bullshit like that but the moment I get uncomfortable in a situation where he's prescribing ME medication and checking out my health, draws the line. My mother and I are going to sit down tonight to see what could be done because I know there are plenty of patients that go through the whole thing too, but when you say "democrats should be killed" at a doctors office to a sick little tattooed girl, it's a little out of line.
