MOUNT DORA, Fla. — A central Florida urologist has posted a sign on his office door warning supporters of President Barack Obama to find a different doctor.
The notice on Dr. Jack Cassell’s practice says, “If you voted for Obama, seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your health care begin right now, not in four years.”
Cassell, 56, told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday he wasn’t questioning patients or refusing care because that would be unethical. “But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it,” he said.
A spokeswoman from the Florida Department of Health, which licenses physicians and investigates complaints, said Friday there was no law prohibiting Cassell from advertising himself this way.
Cassell says most patients have been extremely supportive, though three had complained.
“They know it’s not good for them,” Cassell said. The Associated Press
