There is a difference between a simple unobtrusive pendant vs. numerous Biblical references hanging on the wall , bibles throughout the office and waiting room, etc.,etc., etc.I think religion is a personal thing, and as a non religious person I don't appreciate it all being being shoved in my face. As I said, her credentials are very good and I would expect her to be quite competent. I choose to go to a doctor that isn't overtly trying to send sort of religious message to the patient. I had a different doctor that made a point of expressing his political views in an attempt to convert me. I find that type of behavior inappropriate for the office. I don't care to have a doctor with an agenda. My preference.

However, that's quite different from having Christian quotes/verses on the wall and having Bibles on the waiting room tables. Those are there to look at, or not look at, just as a doctor's framed medical license, residency diploma, and medical diploma are there on the wall or might be listed in a brochure. They are there to tell an interested looker/reader some of the main tenets and education/training that are a large part of the doctor's personal and professional formation. I have had doctors/specialists from India and other foreign nations and my doctor I've had the longest is Jewish. If they have a Hindu or Jewish or other symbol or quote of wisdom/teaching on the wall, I don't get all offended and assume that they are trying to "convert" me, a Christian, to their religion. Those things are there as illustrations of how they think and what they believe. It's a free country, and if a patient doesn't like what that person believes, the patient can choose to leave and go elsewhere. So far, I've never thought about leaving my doctors because of their vastly different religious beliefs. I don't fear hearing/seeing opinions or beliefs that differ from mine. My mind can freely accept or decline to accept things that don't register with my beliefs or factual knowledge. That's the beauty of the human mind, unless it's been brainwashed. On the other hand, if they speak political views in order to "convert" me, I hope I would learn a little more about them to know whether they were trying to "convert" me, or whether they are just expressing frustration with the way they cannot practice the way they were trained to do and want to do, due to the adversarial medico-legal climate, and the growing insurance/government bureaucratic control climate. They might speak those frustrations with politicians as a way of making it known they might soon quit practicing medicine altogether, because they've had it with the ruin they see going on. |

When Dad got his shingles shot at Walgreens they did ask him to stay in store for about an hour to make sure he didn't have any type of reaction. |

Do messy surroundings and a disheveled appearance necessarily indicate a disordered mind? Perhaps not, but running a clean, neat and orderly office is a sign of efficiency and indicates to me that care is being taken with details big and small. |
