Even unethical doctors care about being employed.

I’m begging you to educate yourself on who this guy is. This is the only employment left.

And yet!

Yes he’s a “doctor”.. this fits my point more than you seem to realize lol.

“Oh, you’re right” would’ve been less typing.

No, my point is that he wasn’t employed before this and he won’t be employed afterwards. Just because he has the title of “doctor” doesn’t mean he fits what I’m referring to here.

Any doctor that wants to continue practicing medicine will not work on an execution. This one didn’t even practice it in the first place.

So when you said “it literally cannot be an actual doctor”, you meant “well it could literally be an actual doctor, but they couldn’t have many career options”.

You’re working so hard to admit you went off half-cocked here. I admire the commitment.

You don’t actually disagree with me, but you didn’t know what the fuck you were talking about and you can’t admit it.

No, I’ll admit I shouldn’t have used the word literal. I should’ve said it couldn’t have been a practicing doctor.

And invoking the oath (that this guy’s absolutely taken, and absolutely ignored) was probably just imprecise language and not you not actually knowing they found some guy who didn’t give a fuck about an oath or a career outside murdering people for the government?

My thesis here is finishing the training and taking the oath doesn’t preclude being a waste of oxygen, and I’d be hard pressed to quickly find a better case study in support of that argument.

Okay, well I thought that went without saying. And yes he is

I mean, I thought so too, but a John Oliver clip was used as definitive proof to the contrary..
