No, no, no! We have learned that medical personnel do not have the right to make personal decisions on whom they will treat nor for what. So sayeth our overlords.
Apparently, in summary, the right of a doctor to refuse to care for a patient is actually quite broad. That refusal encompasses objective issues that limit the ability of the doctor to treat properly. It also encompasses purely subjective matters that impede the smooth functioning of the therapeutic relationship. Refusal to treat is subject to the requirements that patients may not be discriminated against, either directly or through a pretext, and that a patient who is already established must not be abandoned, issues that all doctors should bear in mind when denying or ending care.
To be fair, I can understand refusing to treat Manson, or a maniac. But this? Ok...if you say so...
...but this opens up a whole new way of thinking as a consumer of health care. Two can play at this game, pal.
I don't think the good doctor realizes, in his zeal to claim his 15 mins of fame, he may have opened up a Pandora's Box for his profession.
Sometimes, this pandemic has the effect of a receding shoreline exposing all of the garbage the waters hid for years.
