Your belief of banning Drs. that have contracted AIDS is quite Valid,
Rubber gloves just don't cut it.
 
On the other hand (no pun intended), what if you were a doctor... let's 
say 20 years inpractice, and you contract AIDS from a blood transfusion
necessary from a recent operation that you had?
Who would pay for your re-training for a new career? The taxpayers are 
burdened enough with welfare, etc... .
One solution that I see would be to put a special tax on medical & 
surgical supplies...let's say .05%. The half-percent is small enough not
to produce sticker shock and the volume of supplies sold is plenty to
enable the fund to be functional.
The fund would be used to assist afflicted doctors in training for a new
career.
 
What do you think? Despite your belief [which I agree with], you can't 
just drop 'em on the street corner.
