I saw the story. A lesbian couple adopted or produced a child. They wanted this pediatrician to do the six-week well-child exam and become the child’s doctor, but the pediatrician wrote to them saying she believed another doctor who was more supportive of their family arrangement would be better for them. The child was not sick; it was not an emergency, and the laws in the doctor’s state permit a doctor to refuse a service relationship with a potential patient. The doctor did nothing wrong, except in the eyes of the PC screechers. So of course, the lesbians posted it on FaceBook to throw the hate mail floodgates open.
I agree with your analysis. The story is being spun in the media to give an entirely different impression, i.e., that the child’s health was somehow threatened,or treatment was delayed (both false), and that it is not NORMAL for both doctors and patients to seek out client relationships in which they are both on the same page about basic health issues, basic medical morality, and general philosophy of care, and even basic world view.
