SteveThaiBinh Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Jolly good. There was a furore in the UK some months back about Muslim student doctors refusing to learn about, or treat, alcohol-related illness. I imagine Mr. Bush would support this whole-heartedly?

Meshugger Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Yes, finally. Doctors who cast moral judgement on what they want to treat on their patients. This is exactly what lies on the interests of the patient, right?

Guest The Architect Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Why would a doctor deny medical services on anyone when there's money to be made for them? Or don't American doctors get paid on a fee for service basis any more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgon Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 What does this mean, that there are doctors who won't perform abortions. I don't see this as a problem unless they would actually refuse to save a woman's life and perform an emergency abortion. That would be criminal.

Walsingham Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I do understand that a doctor should be free to exercise their right to choose, in the same way as I believe a woman ought to. However, a slight side-issue occurs to me: how do you plan emergency services with doctors picking and choosing what they do? What's to stop some white supremacist from refusing to treat black people because he believes they are "tarred with the sin of Cain" or whatever? "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.

Moatilliatta Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Doctors should have the right to choose unless it is an emergency where time matters. My problem with this sort of thing would be information. If a doctor refuses work because of bigotry or something equally ridiculous then I'd like the opportunity to know that and avoid that particular doctor.

Gorgon Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Nonsense, doctors are public servants, we don't allow other branches the right to pick and chose how they treat people. If you have a private clinic and suck fat out of the wealthy you can do as you like, but a public hospital... Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

thepixiesrock Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I have a hard time believing doctors are going to be denying people service, and if any do then they probably wouldn't be doctors that are working in places that require patients to be treated in a super timely fashion. So the people would be able to go somewhere else.

Gfted1 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I know here in the states weve had several pharmacists refuse to fill orders for the abortion pill (iirc, RU-482).

samm Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Oh man, I can't believe it... This is really bad. "Nah, you're a musilm, no treatment for you", "Infusing someone else's blood? That's immoral! Forget it!", "You 'need' the pill only to kill potential life. Not with me..." If capital G will ever have an accident and should be treated by a surgeon, this doctor should refuse. It's immoral and against any belief in humanity and all that's good in the world to let that source of disaster live. Also, it would be ironic, and that's always good Citizen of a country with a racist, hypocritical majority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Nightshade Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 What does this mean, that there are doctors who won't perform abortions. Or anything else they feel is against their "religious or moral beliefs" - the title of the piece is misleading in that respect. "Geez.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Maybe it's just me but I don't think anyone should be forced to kill a baby if they don't want to. Fine, that is why there are abortion clinics, but what about prescribing birth-control pills or treating alcohol-related diseases? Those are just two of the infinite number of things "doctors" could withhold for "moral" reasons. What about this, would you support someone who believed that Canadians were evil and deserved no care? If not, how is that any different? "Geez.

samm Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) Krookie: Yeah, the pill is killing a baby... Just like condoms. Real abortions however that are not necessary for the survival of the mother are allowed only for a few weeks (about 2 months I think) after becoming pregnant and for certain reasons. At least that's the law in my country, as far as I know.
