Both of these doctors should be reported immediately to the local medical association - this is *not* their business, nor is it professionally appropriate under any circumstances. I would find this sort of religious buttinsky stuff to be offensive coming from an acquaintance or even a friend. From a *doctor* who is responsible for your care, it is unconscionable.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Unbelievable!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I'm not quite sure how far this topic would go; but we would ask that you once again look over our group's Guidelines. The Guidelines are posted on a regular basis (once a month), and they are also provided to all new members who join us. Paragrapah 4 of our Guidelines reads as follows: (snip) we ask that religion (snip) be discussed off the Board; your Moderators reserve the right to delete/edit/modify without notice to you. Saying a prayer for a fellow afibber is one thing, but going off on a topic of *Religion* in general is quite another. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I don't think any of us were talking about religion specifically... We were just discussing some outrageous comments made by doctors! It would be no different than saying a doctor told us if we stared at the moon for an hour each night we wouldn't have afib. My own point was simply that I do not want any doctor blaming my non-physical behavior or lack there of, for my afib.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I've been monitoring this Board too long not to realize that anything along these lines can take on another life of its own. My thought was to nip any such discussion (whatsoever) in the bud. If you wish to discuss this topic any further, please direct your message to the Moderators only ------ Thank you, Ellen ********************************* I don't think any of us were talking about religion specifically...

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Actually, even though our guidelines are right on about religion, I agree with you on this one, Stef, didn't feel that it was a particularly religious question, and not offensive in any way that I could see.
