Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Trust my rage
Was yours a Sunbeam?
Not sure - it doens't appear to have a brand name anywhere on it. It has a blue top and the water resevoir looks a bit like a chamber pot. It works just fine for us, although if I were being critical, I might complain that I wish i had one that was slightly quieter.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Because it sounds and is such an uncompromising position, and I do have sympathy, but my sympathy for someone who just wants basic healthcare outweighs that.
Eh, I really don't have any sympathy for them -- now, people who choose to leave a profession because they can't square it with their ethics? They have all the sympathy I can muster, because whatever I think about the ethical question that prompted it, it's a hard and scary choice with real lifelong consequences. This is more, "I don't want to serve the icky people", and I don't care if you dress it up as a question of religious "freedom".
ION, poor nose.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ah, see, the quiet thing is a problem for me. I may see if I can find the Sunbeam around here.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
About the pharmacists, what amych said, every word.

I'm so sorry, bt. It's always an extra-shitty thing to deal with, that last jab of pain in a wound you thought had mostly healed. I'm vibing hard for huge good things for you in 2006. The universe totally owes you.

I'm sure there are doctors who won't perform abortions yet see that their patients are responsibly referred.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are abortions things that your general doctor performs, or is it a more specialist sort of a procedure?

My doctor's practice performs them outpatient at the hospital or refers you to a private clinic. It's entirely possible, however, that someone in his practice DOESN'T do them -- I never asked.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

See, that's an excellent point. A patient goes to a pharmacy with the tacit understanding that, as long as they are willing to pay, they can obtain a legitimately prescribed legal medication. There aren't separate pharmacies for different types of drugs.
It's not the pharmacist's decision as to who should be allowed to receive a given drug -- and it's not just EC anymore; there are reports of pharmacists who won't dispense mental-health-related medication, for instance. The pharmacist isn't the prescriber; the doctor is. They don't make that decision together.
Honestly. A vegan can't get a job at Outback Steakhouse and then refuse to cook anything with animal products in it. Pharmacists are no different.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. It would be funny if that happened, though.
