Whichever the case, and you may be right, if a physician said that to me, I would stand up, walk out of that office, and return the next morning bright and early with an attorney of my own, and ask that Doctor if he would care to repeat what he said the day before.
Call me whatever you want, a statement like that from a physician is a violation of a man’s civil rights.
Sure enough I could go to another physician, but along would come another guy, and the physician would do the same thing.
This would be a great test case, and put that to bed for all time.
When my wife gets sign off on my carcass, it’s going to be room temperature, and not a damned second before.
Don’t blow your top but what the doctor is asking is in fact biblical. 1 Corinthians, the wife has authority over the body of the husband and vice versa. Whether this can be abrogated by certain sins isn’t discussed, but asking about the marital situation is what any ethical doctor would do. For you to be an @$$h0l3 about it is unfitting. Just go see another doctor.
