This physician provides a logically incoherent sequence of consequences to a decision the student has made. One could regress consequences as far back as one wants and never provide a logical causal relationship to explain consequences of decisions patients may or may not choose to make during their lives. It is reasonable that the physician-to-be make clear up-front her reservations so patients can make informed decisions regarding the physicians concerns. The physician-to-be will, in any case, be obligated to conform to standard of care practice.
Agreed on all counts.
