    The fact that he is making a very big issue over this pin is, I posit, sufficient evidence that the entire purpose of the pin was to make a political statement. I completely agree that an AGM of the OMA is NOT the place to make political statements. It is a medical conference, not a political convention. It goes to the root of the entire purpose behind the Hippocratic Oath - to serve equally without malice or prejudice.

        There is a very big difference between internal politics and outside politics. Of course an AGM is filled with the politics of the organization. However a political statement that has nothing to do with medicine has no place at an OMA AGM.

      Legit. All these people commenting like just cause morally you are right doesn’t change the nonpolitical expectation. The more I read the article the more clearly it was this person was baiting them. That’s fine way to make a statement but saying an organization is singling you out is a bit like being upset for getting hit in the face when you were the one that hit yourself.
