My doctor offers a service--last time I checked he was no God. My plumber also offers a service and he has no business telling me how many times to bathe in a week. I don't expect my Dr to tell me how to live. His obligation is to provide diagnosis and health care to me for whatever my condition is regardless of my circumstances. It is not up to him to judge me nor is it up to the government. You sound like a dictator and I do not know any one who wants to be told how to live by a service. How do you treat your tubbies? Tell them they best lose weight or you will not treat them? How do you treat you homo AIDS patients? I would go to a vet before I went to a Dr. with your attitude.
A doctor is for diagnosing and treating a patient. A patient who does not want to even follow the most basic advice is wasting the doctor's time and talent. What do you want a doctor to do for a patient who won't obey doctor's orders based upon diagnosis and keeps getting worse? Is a doctor supposed to keep treating someone who continually sabotages his/her own health? I say no. I'm not a doctor and if I was one, I wouldn't waste time with people who do not want to help themselves. You may not like my attitude but think about it. Someone who is in ill health losing limbs to diabetes and doesn't want to help themselves obviously wants to die. Why should a doctor have to keep treating someone who doesn't want to be treated?
Comparing doctors to plumbers is apples and oranges.
