Wow, that wasn’t difficult at all.

I read a disturbing article tonight and was wondering what ever happened to the part of the Hippocratic Oath that requires doctors and nurses as well, to do no harm. I know that due to pending leangle action against The Public Health Trust of Miami Dade County, and Memorial Hospital that no one in their right mind will go on the record and comment about what I am about to say, but that’s ok; at least I had the courage to say something.

As I read the article a pair of women and their three children had no choice but to place themselves in the hands of bigoted individuals. While traveling to take one of the curse ships that sail out of Miami one of the women became ill and eventually died! The other woman was toll that “she was in an anti-gay city and state, and she could expect to receive no information or acknowledgment as family.” Further, when the surviving women attempted to provide medical history the information was refused. This information could have possible save this individual’s life. What kinds of people live in Florida anyway? Or should I ask what kind of doctors does The State of Florida produce?

The instance above has nothing to do with weather or not the two women were in a relationship that The State of Florida approves of or does not approve of. It has to do with valuable time and effort being wasted because one person made the mistake of say that she was another women’s partner rather than saying that she was a traveling companion. Someone’s live was in the balance and no one wanted to take the shortest route to gaining information about someone condition because she happened to fall ill in an “anti-gay city and state” What in GOD’s name does saving one of GOD’s creatures have to do with what that person may or may not be doing in the bedroom. It is my understanding that it is GOD’s right and only GOD’s right to judge.

To the teacher of doctor’s please remember that although you may train doctors in The State of Florida some of them will end up setting up their practice in other States where thank GOD medical care and the Hippocratic Oath are held to a higher standard.

You may be wondering why I am writing you. Well it goes like this. I currently live in the state of Massachusetts. I am gay and do have a parent. We are not married yet and I have visited The State of Florida on several occasions. I also have Multiple Scoliosis. Tell me, who would be the best person to tell you what medications I was on or what physical condition I was in than the person I live with every day of my life. I know that with this one letter I will not be able to convince anyone nor do I have any dilution of doing so, that what happened to the women and the three children was wrong but just maybe this letter will spark some conversation that will at least instill some compassion.

Thank you for your time.

1) The club manager that booked and was escorting the Jarics, Scott Bitchall, has a record of First Degree Sexual Assault, on a 15 year old boy.

2) The narrative that the Jarics provided on their website confirms that the police escort was pre-arrainged.

Why is an on duty Boston cop doing favors to a convicted child rapist? Check out the TV report that broke the story.

Shouldn’t responsible people in the gay community abhor child sexual violence, and hold those that commit such crimes accountable for their actions?

If this had been a female pornstar and straight cop, would it have been the biggest story in boston? I doubt it.

However, police of all people cannot be allowed to break the rules. Police are paid by taxpayers to enforce the law and protect society, not to escort gay strippers to a club. He certainly deserves a slap on the wrist for this.

I only hope that the punishment he receives would be the same had the strippers in question been women.

Who’d thought the police department would be put in such an unflattering light with one of their expensive vehicles being casually and inappropriately used as though it were the cop’s own “personal vehicle”? It belongs to the police department and not to him and I don’t think the taxpaying public would take kindly to him using it the way he did and his actions are a breach of the public trust.

The strippers should have hired a taxi to get to their club from the airport.

And if they were personal friends of his, why didn’t he use a non-police vehicle to avoid bringing this kind of unwanted scrutiny and potential embarassment to the police department? Being a cop is a serious, non-nonsense job and you’d think he’d use better judgement.

I think the public has a right to know when its public servants and protectors are doing screwball things on public time and with taxpayer money paying his salary and for the police vehicle.
