Do People's Politics Affect Patients?

The big question of our study was, do people's politics affect how they treat patients? And the answer yes, for sure. The scenario the doctors were given about helmet use went a little bit like this: A healthy male in thi thirties comes into your office for a physical and he doesn't have any known prior chronic medical issues. It's hard to imagine a doctor telling their patient it's ok to ride without a helmet. For instance, when it came to guns, we give a vignette about firearms.
