Houston Doctor Fired After Flood Victim Comments

Dr. Christina B. Propst, a Houston pediatrician, was fired by Blue Fish Pediatrics after posting a controversial message on social media that targeted Kerr County residents for supporting Trump and denying climate change in the aftermath of deadly Texas floods. The floods killed over 80 people, including children, and Propst's since-deleted post stated that the residents 'got what they voted for.' The post gained widespread attention after being shared by Libs of TikTok, leading to public outrage and condemnation from medical professionals, officials, and community members. Blue Fish Pediatrics clarified that Propst's comments did not reflect their values and expressed support for all affected families. The Texas Medical Board said it would thoroughly investigate any complaints about Propst, emphasizing compassion and unity. The incident has sparked debate about the politicization of tragedy and the responsibilities of professionals on social media.
