I swore I would provide care to anyone who needed it.
When I retired, I did not renew my license. I no longer feel bound by that oath.
If Trump or any GOP official were gasping for air or bleeding, I would just walk away.
Apparently I am not much of a Christian either but I am OK with this decision. I guess I think this is a war and different rules apply. A war to save this country.

(22,048 posts)I believe you are selling yourself short. I suspect that your professionalism and fundamental decency would prevail in the scenarios you projected.
Your disdain for Republicans is entirely understandable, however.
The oath was just a formality; TNNurse would most likely help and then question herself about it. This is a great point of discussion, though.

He is a bottomless pit of vile putrid ugliness.

i do inderstand how loathsome these people are, and since you made me consider applying cpr to trump (yeeech!) you owe me one......
