You're either with us, or you're a terrorist... haha, I remember that flawless piece of logic.<br /><br />Criminallopath: why stop at denying treatment to murderers? Why not suspected murderers? How about rapists, theives, kidnappers, belligerent or abusive patients, people we simply don't like, etc.? Right… You’re either with us, or you’re a terrorist… haha, I remember that flawless piece of logic.

Murderers brought into the ER can be refused treatment, and what about suspending all medical care to serial killers in jail? They're essentially terrorists for women.

Physicians are more than willing to abandon patients for a matter of a few dollars. If a few dollars can be an impetus to not provide treatment then a basis consisting of the perspective patient being a freaking terrorist should really be substantive in not providing treatment.

Did he pledge to treat them after they were already arrested? Can it be shown that he knew they were terrorists? Have the terrorists he pledged to treat been found guilty? Did the doctors treating Timothy McVeigh also get charged? Not a very good article – where are all the details? Did he pledge to treat them after they were already arrested?

He pledged to treat the terrorists. In other words, he joined a terrorist cell.<br /><br />I think that's quite different than treating a patient - this was helping someone to commit an act of terror, and it should be a crime.
