4. dr go - doctor go to guns

In the alternate bizarro universe there's a pro gun org called Dr Go, standing for doctors for (cough) responsible gun ownership. Despite its name it's radical & likely smiled upon by nra bigwigs & henchmen like wayne lapierre-head.

Three blind mice, three blind mice, see how they spin, see how they spin:

Arthur Z Przebinda, MD, DRGO project director: DRGO Seeks Gun-Friendly Healthcare Providers
Patients want to trust their provider to not make mistakes and to not lie to them. Unfortunately, when it comes to guns, medical organizations have not been living up to that expectation. Medical associations have been insinuating an anti-gun political agenda into the patient-doctor relationship for decades. Patients are routinely being asked about gun ownership. Worse, many physicians commit boundary violations by pressing anti-gun messages on patients.
Frankly, medicine has an institutional bias against guns. To counter this, DRGO has launched 2Adoc.com, a referral service that will connect patients with healthcare providers who respect their second amendment rights and who won’t engage in anti-gun activism in the patient exam room.


Personally, I would prefer that there are firearms in the nursing home where my mother-in-law stays. The patients and and their caretakers are vulnerable soft targets.

I can see mum in law now, rolling to the floor & snap firing at that man with the syringe trying to sedate her so he can go all the way with her, eh?
