    That’s ok. They have Dr. Cletus, who got his MD at the school of Common Sense and did his residency at the hospital of Traditional American Values.

    Red states don’t care about having physicians trained from filthy leftist academia propagandizing them with “facts” from scientists trying to sell books. Cletus is more competent to perform surgery than any blue state “Doctor,” because he knows the south will rise again, and he has gumption and a can do attitude. Checkmate, stuff in books!

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    One of Louisiana’s few doctors specializing in pediatric heart conditions is leaving the state after the Legislature passed a variety of bills aimed at restricting rights for LGBTQ people.

    Kleinmahon, who is gay, told WDSU that he and his husband had planned to retire in New Orleans, but he now feels like the anti-LGBTQ legislation passed by the Legislature has made the state a hostile place for families like his.

    Kleinmahon wrote in a post on Instagram that he moved back to Louisiana five years ago with the goal of building one of the best pediatric heart transplant programs in the country.

    He doesn’t want to leave that behind, but he wrote that he and his husband, Tom, “have discussed at length the benefits of continuing to live in the South, as well as the toll that it takes on our family.”

    “This is a wonderful new opportunity, but it is incredibly sad to leave our home, our friends, colleagues, and patients and their families,” he wrote on Instagram.


    I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    Quality physicians make a massive impact on the communities they serve, especially someone of Dr. Kleinmahon‘s speciality since it’s so rare. The fact that he and his family were literally committed to staying in New Orleans forever is so heartbreaking, and now their entire family is leaving. Great job republicans!
