>and we followed the treatment, why wouldn’t we have the right to say, “I’m doing everything I’ve been told to do and the docs say it’s OK”?
That is exactly correct.
and the SCOTUS has already ruled on this and it is settled law. - Doctors are bound by that and have little to no recourse.
It isn’t cover, it is what they are legally obligated to do.
Your commentary would be better directed to the legislature to try to pass a law to challenge that SCOTUS decision but I would not hold my breath waiting for action.
Oh I think you’re right it would require new legislation. Someone, somewhere needs to start holding these characters accountable.
