      unpopular (?) opinion: the term “frequent flyer” is completely derogatory, and the medical community’s way of badly coping with the fact that there are patients whose needs we cannot meet

      What is the salutary benefit of not using disrespectful language, exactly? On what moral basis do you make this request/ demand?

      Replying to @md_stat @traependergrast and

      On the moral basis that patients are human beings who deserve the respect of their providers, that providers should have the humility to understand that the patient who presents to the ED once a week or every day has a life full of challenges that most of us could never imagine.

      Respect is earned. The doctor-patient relationship is the foundation. This requires respect on both sides. “Deserving” something because someone is human is not a moral argument in itself.

      Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. This would suggest indeed we are born with rights

      Also: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Our Founding Fathers believed humans are born with rights.
