BROOMALL, Pa. (AP) — A teacher says she went to her doctor for a physical but instead got booted from the office by her Donald Trump-supporting physician after she disagreed with him.

Heidi Kravitz Dunn tells The Philadelphia Inquirer (http://bit.ly/2fQxAF3 ) it happened Friday in Broomall.

She says Dr. Joseph LaBricciosa ranted about the inner city kids she teaches and criticized protests over Trump’s election.

Dunn says she told him they had a right to protest. She says he replied if she didn’t believe what he believed, his practice wasn’t for her and she needed to go. So she left.

LaBricciosa says he didn’t kick her out. He adds he sent her a letter of apology and won’t talk politics with patients anymore.

Dunn says she has a new doctor.

  1. This is going to become more nasty across the whole spectrum. This is not going to be fun.

    (he really does have freakishly small hands for a man his size.)

  2. I’m sure the good doctor recognized the error of his ways … once he saw it in print.

  3. It didn’t say whether he billed her for his precious time.

    And it works both ways. I used to warch Sunday Housecalls, the only thing I ever watched on FoxNews. But after those two clownish doctors spent the week with Hannity falsely diagnosing Hillary, I haven’t watched them since.

  4. The patient knows the symptoms better than the doctor. Good for you, Ms. Dunn.

    Pretty sure I wouldn’t want to be treated by a doctor who is dumb enough to vote for Donald Trump. It’s actually probably a pretty good litmus test.
