This is my third time to the office. Im waiting for the Doctor to come in and whie waiting in the examination room, I spot this. I start flipping through it, and I am getting upset.

I wait for the doctor to come in. I immeditely ask him, hey what it this? why is it here? He blew me off and just said "oh its just an opinion piece" and I said, yeah, but who put it here, do you believe in this? And he just shrugged. I said, Im leaving, that is so wierd, thats weird to have in a doctors office. And I left. Ill never go back to that place.

I need a doctor who believes in science. You wanna be christain thats fine, but this literally says,for christain nationalism. gross.

Putnam CT, USA if anyone is curious. I want to post the photo in google maps reviews, but I am afraid to, even with my google account being a burner. Yes, it's the red pocket of an overall blue state, but, I just, was not expecting to see this.

It's a bit unfourtunate that I think in my search for a new doctor.. I will have to ask their belief. Im going to search for an atheist doctor..

I do believe this was the typical exam room for my lady doctor. Her family is from India, and I dont care that there were her family memeber photos on the wall, and Indian art on the walls, I didnt care she had a cross on her neck. I though it unique or maybe she was trying to fit in with the demographic, or whatever, but this is a hard line to cross.

The male doctor I was seeing on the off sick visit.. coward at my questions, and this doesnt help the situation, nor my confusion. Who's was it? he didnt answer. so, I dont really know.

It does scare me shitless, and I want an atheist doctor now, full stop
