I was in my doctors office this morning and they had Focus on Family
James Dobson pamphlet mixed in with a couple of other magazines in the examination room.

:wtf:

I think that I will have to change doctors.

:scared:

Hope it wasn't an OBGYN.

on edit: Nevermind on the OBGYN part. ;)

2. I hope it was a patient who put in there.
If I had a doctor who supported FoF I'd definitely be looking for a new doctor.

3. Well if you weren't sick when you went it.....
You are now!

Was it just one pamphlet? Perhaps another patient left it there?

5. It's the magazine I think. Whenever I see that,
I run away real real fast! Fortunately they had a Smithsonian magazine which was pretty interesting!

I have no idea where it came from. Could have been planted by another patient.

8. I briefly worked at a magazine store...
Like a newsstand, but we don't have those here....

I always wanted to relocate those types of magazines with the porn- Seriously, if we're going to be calling ANYTHING offensive....

Just sayin... :silly:

11. Yeah, I made that point, too.....
but the owner didn't agree. No matter- my last night working there, I inserted various naughty mags inside all of the FoF copies that were on the shelf. My parting gift, I suppose.

15. Oh, they'd never buy the porn, anyway.....
the same guys (typically with wedding bands, driving mini-vans with miscellaneous fundie slogans on the bumper stickers) came in weekly to look at the adult selection. They'd stand there for an hour or so (ducking their heads if the door opened) then buy a pack of gum or something similar and head out.

4. If it wasn't left by a patient, it's time to switch.
Unkindness, bigotry, and a lack of critical thinking skills aren't really good characteristics in a doctor.

7. My doctor is pretty cool. A younger guy!
He was bitching about an insurance company and how they were cutting what they paid the doctors 30%.

9. It could have been left by a fundie patient
Not unlike gospel bombs, aka Chick tracts.

Was the office name on the address label?

12. I was afraid to look at it.
I just covered it up and moved onto the Smithsonian magazine!

14. Did you think about taking it with you when you left?
You'd be doing future patients a favor :patriot:
