NJ Doctor thinks gay patient deserves to die of AIDs.

I don’t usually call the internet to arms but REBLOG THE EVER LIVING FUCK OUT OF THIS.

Joao Simoes is HIV positive. He went to Trinitas Regional Medical Center in Elizabeth, NJ and for an undisclosed reason, was admitted to the mental health wing.

According to a complaint filed with the state of New Jersey, Dr. Borja of the Department of Behavioral Health and Psychiatry approached Simoes and after looking at his file, asked how he contracted HIV. His response was, ”I got it from unprotected sex.” The complaint then says that “Dr. Borga closed the plaintiff’s file, put it down and looked at plaintiff with disgust on her face and asked, coldly, “Is that from sex with men?”

Simoes says he responded affirmatively and that, “immediately after hearing this, Dr. Borga proceeded to exit the room.” After this consultation, no nurse or doctor came to see Simoes, even though he told them that he needed to take his HIV medication, according to the complaint. (source, Courthouse News Service)

According to Simoes, three days passed before he was allowed to contact his personal physician. It was at that time he learned that Borja had already spoken to his doctor. “You must be gay, too, if you’re his doctor,” accused Borga. “Additionally, apparently realizing that plaintiff’s doctor had an accent, Dr. Borga exclaimed, ‘What, do you need a translator?’ to which plaintiff’s doctor had again responded that Dr. Borga needed to give plaintiff his HIV medication,” the complaint states. “Dr. Borga responded to plaintiff’s doctor by stating, ‘This is what he gets for going against God’s will,’ and hung up the phone on plaintiff’s doctor.”

Borja even refused to allow Simoes’ sister to visit. His sister, did, however, leave HIV medicine at the nurses’ station. The nurses eventually gave the medicine to Simoes, but not before he had missed five doses.

HEY LOOK WHAT’S EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC:

DR. SUSAN V. BORGA

TRINITAS REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER

655 EAST JERSEY STREET, ELIZABETH NJ 07206

PHONE: (908) 994-7166

Don’t let this thing continue practicing medicine. Imagine a child’s life in the hands of this monstrosity.

 PLEASE NOTE that the contact information above is taken from a completely public, online directory, and the phone number is probably shared with other staff at her hospital. Don’t do anything that would obstruct her coworkers from doing their job and legitimately helping other people, but if you feel the need to make your opinion known to her employers, the info is there.

Letter-writing is probably less obstructive and harder to ignore. They can always delete voice mails.

Dear Dr. Borga:
