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.

Doesn't mean its his. God bothers often leave their trash laying around hoping someone will read it.

I asked, and it is a thick almost book like, $7 mag, found in the examination room, not the waiting room, not a pamphlet. It was along side another less obvious christain mag.

When asked, the Doctor did not deny it belonging to the office.

edit to add, I was in the "car visit" room. I think a less used room, as it was full of personal items like photographs and art.

Okay it was what I thought of first. The local library picks up a couple of way out there magazines on the shelf regularly. Several religious magazines and one is some pro china rag that makes china seem like a glowing beacon of decency. Someone is bringing them in and putting them on the shelf. The library throws them away every month.

He didn't deny it though.
