| Abstract | In the wake of the passage of new healthcare legislation, Dr. Jack Cassell, a Florida urologist, put a sign on his door advising supporters of President Obama and his views to "go elsewhere" for their healthcare needs. Critics charge Dr. Cassell with violating his Hippocratic Oath and acting unethically by making political affiliation a factor in caring for patients. Dr. Cassell argues that he is not turning away patients, he is merely exercising his right to express his own opinion. |
