Thread: Should Doctors be made to offer treatments they think are wrong?

Most doctors would do a treatment they didn't want to for the right price. Its good to hear that there are good doctors left in the world.

true they make people pay a lot for some small thing that is because they only care about mony

yo dont feel bad no one should have any right to force someone into doing something they dont want to esp if it goes against their moral values

however... you are both... thusly the issue gets tough... i would suggest... as a doctor, you tell her about the abortion... as a human, you advise her against it...

but remember, it's the patient's decision wether or not to have it... you cannot force them or unforce them... however, it may cost you your job if you refuse...

so just keep that in mind...

I am pretty sure I won't lose my job. It is quite possible that I may get sued. In the future, depending on how legislation goes, I may go to jail.

I'll try to stay on topic and not blab on about my opinion of abortion lols
It is wrong to refuse her an abortion, It was her choice and as a doctor you would need to respect that choice ( depends if it is life or death), but it's not as if you can't give her advice or even better refer her onto someone she can talk to, to give her unbiased advice, a counsulor or sumthing, so that she can be sure of the descion that she makes.

someone once said "doctors are idiots, too"
