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.

I was at a walk in clinic and perusing their pamphlets when I noticed some that were in a different style than the rest. They were by Focus on the Family and included anti-abortion and anti-LGBT propaganda. I scoffed, collected them all out of the wall holder thing, and threw them in the trash -- the receptionist gave me a weird look.

A few minutes later she comes out and pulls them out of the trash can. She skims a few, frowns, and takes them to the back. I never saw those pamphlets in that waitingroom again.

So at least in this case it seems like it was one asshole (that possibly didn't work there) put them out. Good call on questioning them about it.
