    Can’t wait for a gay doctor to deny treatment for a bigot and all their heads explode.

    (They’re heads never actually explode and this bothers me.)

    That’s not what the Hippocratic Oath says. I know it’s just smoke and mirrors, but that oath still means something. Any doctor who would disregard it should not be trusted with your health, and should not be practicing medicine at all.

      And yet already, doctors have been letting women in Texas and other states die mid-complex-birth-trouble for fear of losing their license. The moral code of life, at least in America, is long gone in many states.

      Mm, nah. First, few remarks to set context:

      -the law is crap, no question about that

      -whole morality concept is also crap as fuck, but let’s say this crap did allow for some people to live longer and/or healthier

      And now for the neat part or why I won’t become a doctor unless forced by some apocalyptic shit: say, you know for sure the patient has caused and/or will cause immense harm and suffering to others (think killers and rapists, for example). Unless you are inhuman, you will doubt whether to help them and thus cause more suffering to other people or let this one die and prevent that, and there is nothing shitty about that.

      it allows them auto deny, things like non-christians, but doctors can refuse to take INSURANCE so doctors have some leverage.

    Hopefully any doctor who does this gets their accreditation or certification suspended. (I think the licenses are a state operation, so that’s not going to happen.)
