Assuming the worst, that it is all true, and that you would no longer do business with him...... would you take a similar attitude towards your:

1. Accountant
2. Dentist
3. Hair dresser
4. Newspaper delivery person
5. Next door neighbor
6. Card playing companions
7. Entertainers at the Town Squares

Going back to your health care provider; would you leave him if you discovered (for sure) that he was:

1. Homosexual
2. A shoplifter
3. A Jew
4. A Catholic
5. A Mormon
6. An Atheist
7. A Satanist
8. A racist
9. Formerly in a mental institution

OR............ are you better off to simply get assurance that your doctor is competent, functioning within the law, without a history of incompetence or malpractice, and is striving to keep you healthy and treat your illnesses?

Each of us must follow his own conscience in our relationships with others.
