Cute Gay Doc Challenges Texas Gov

After a TikTok video in which a Texas physician informed the public of their right to not respond to a citizenship question on hospital intake forms went viral, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) fired back on social media.

In a post on X on Monday, Abbott wrote, "Hey Texas Children's Hospital & Baylor College of Medicine, this doctor is putting your Medicaid and Medicare funding at risk. You better think twice & have crystal clear records. There will be consequences for failing to follow the law in the Executive Order." In the video, which is no longer available, Tony Pastor, MD, said he sometimes goes viral for "cute videos of my boyfriend and our dog" and "fun stories about residency," but "this video is a little different."

"I'm hoping the algorithm will do its thing because it's very important," he added.

He goes on to explain that "any patient who comes to a hospital has to click a box, basically, that is on the intake form. It says, 'Are you a U.S. citizen?' 'Are you not a U.S. citizen?' There's no third option that says, 'Rather not disclose.' It's either or."

"It has made all of us physicians and providers super uncomfortable," Pastor said. "No one has told us what people are going to do with this information."

He noted that "we were told today that people do not actually have to answer the question ... but no one is telling these people this, right?"

Maybe the law is "just a deterrent" for people who are not documented to go to a hospital, he said. "But even if that's the motive, it's really messed up. You should come to a hospital if you're sick. You should get healthcare if you're sick."

"So, my proposal to everyone ... is just know that you do not have to answer this question," he continued. "And my second sort of proposal is, wouldn't it be amazing if everyone who comes in doesn't answer it, and it really messes with whatever data that they're looking for?"

"Anyways, I hope the universe helps this video go off and people get this message," Pastor concluded. "We're gonna still keep advocating for our patients, because that's why we went to medical school."

Cute doctor speaks like a teenager.

Probably not a message you want to put your name and face to. Let some anonymous Reddit posts get that message out to everyone.

He actually says exactly what the law allows. The hullaballoo is the Texas gov doesn't want people to know that law

R2, Texas is a state existing in the United States of America, where constitutional law & Civil Rights

The first Amendment protects his freedom of speech , & his Hippocratic Oath protects him as a doctor who has sworn to “First, do no harm.”

I’m noticing a trend that is currently plaguing social media & even DL, where people are suggesting that Americans should censor themselves due to the incoming administration. That bullshit should not fly for any American, Liberal or Conservative.

Correction:

Texas is a state existing in the United States of America, where constitutional law & Civil Rights allow all Americans constitutional protections.

I know him personally. He always want to Jack off online with me while his husband is away. Seems super smart, but is also one of “those gays”. Good for him for doing this but as soon as he dumped his husband I blocked him on the socials

It's funny how the right wing loons think infectious diseases give a shit who is a US Citizen or not. Covid doesn't care what your passport says. An infected person will spread disease no matter who it is. It's smart to combat disease among all populations.

But then - who ever said Republicans were smart

IDGAF who this physician wants to J.O. with, or what he does on GRNDR. It is not any of our business, unless he’s engaging in illegal activities.

Pregnant women are dying in Texas when their pregnancy becomes a high risk pregnancy. Imagine living in a place where you fear visiting your OBGYN or giving birth in a hospital, because you’re an undocumented migrant, and you are pregnant, while at risk to losing your child and/or dying as a result? Even women who are Americans are dying due to high risk pregnancies in Texas.

It’s a shithole state, and it is NOT a shithole state solely because undocumented migrants are crossing Texas’ border. It’s a shithole state because the governor & his political cronies are a bunch of sadistic hypocrites, who claim to fear the Lord their God, yet don’t allow pregnant women who also fear the Lord their God to live.

Abbot is an evil, evil little man who has zero compassion for others & is drunk with power. Fuck him.

R16, maternal death is what they voted for cycle after cycle.

I have no empathy anymore

by Anonymousreply 17November 28, 2024 3:49 PM

R17, well, then I will have empathy on your behalf, until your shock & numbness goes away regarding our recent elections.

Empathy is what allows us to survive as a species, R17. It’s what makes us sorta special. Please don’t dismiss yours.

R18, this is what they want, along with school shooting.

I have no fucks left give for the women of Texas. They had a shot to stop all this nonsense. Instead they voted to care for their sons, not their daughters.
