Is this doctor playing "God"?

[talloola]

doctors are not humans....they are coin operated pill dispensers

lol (they also save lives everyday, without them we would be lost), and many many pills are very
beneficial, and also save lives.

patients must be responsible for themselves, and not be totally at the mercy of everything their
doctor tells them, the body is yours, you are in charge of it, know it, learn about it, and
discuss every perscription your doctor wants to issue.

They haven't got you yet, so they don't have all the EASTERN retards just yet.

You might just be on to sumpin! -

So, when you are desperately sick you won't be looking for one? I've pretty well always had the utmost respect for the many doctors who have treated me.

Playing "God"? No. Just not doing her job.

We the citizens of the country live in a free and open society and Doctors, Police
Judges, and other professionals etc should have figured out by now in an open
and democratic society institutions cannot be the presiding judges of other peoples
values.
Yes they have jurisdiction on criminal matters but not on social values.
Booze was tried and failed, pot is next as the law will not succeed Here they are
trying to put it in the hands of big corporations to control it. Its the first step of a full
retreat. People will buy the illegal stuff because it is stronger and has first class
quality for their use,
Then there is prostitution they have been battling this for five thousand years and still
they haven't won Hmm do ya think its time to give it up?

This Doctor is one of those self righteous people who thinks their way is better and
you shouldn't be engaging in pre or unmarried sex. None of the Doctors business.
Find another Doctor and let this dinosaur fade into her rear view mirror Complain to
the human rights and the Medical Association as well.

How's yer garden this year T?

my garden is very very small, as my real garden was fenced off, with a path to the house,
and my two chocolate labradors can go there, so in the area where many lovely veggies grew,
i now shovel dog poop each day and bury it. lol

but the dog area is full of fruit trees now, so it does grow yummy things, and my dogs don't eat
meat, their food is '6 fish kibbel', along with 'no grain veggie' buscuits, so that poop in the
ground is actually doing some good.

i have one tomatoe plant in a pot, some rosemary, some mixed herbs in a pot, one cabbAge plant,
one spinach plant, in a different area, so all is not lost for the gardiner in me.

how about you.

That is one distinct possibility, the second being that she could be a devout Roman Catholic!

I'm to dominant here in Ontario. I get all the top high end work.

It's her prerogative and at least she's up front about it. Just go to another doc for the prescription. God, people are so judgemental now-a-days. We're still a "relatively" free country after all - at least we used to be. Its all much ado about nothing.


JMHO

Calgary doctor refuses to prescribe birth control - Calgary - CBC News


Is she trying to prove something?

She's not trying to prove anything, just exercising her rights as she's completely entitled to do.

The Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons has a policy that states doctors are not required to provide care that violates their moral or religious beliefs. However, physicians are expected to refer patients for care in a timely manner.

Now, having said that, I'm not entirely sure she's a good fit for a walk-in clinic. The only reason being that a doctor in his or her own private practice can set the parameters of the services they offer, to an extent. With a clinic though, since they typically see a rotation in doctors, it is the clinic that determines the services offered. So it seems like an odd fit to me, but certainly not something that is in any way wrong.

I think he said he is a window washer on apartment buildings. Either that or a roofer.

That's for sure, when people go to walk in clinics they should be able to have certain expectations, when a person goes to their family doctor it's assumed they've chosen that doctor because he/she meets certain criteria important to the patient. As far as "rights" is concerned that is usually something germane to the person, not something imposed on someone else. -

My best guess, is that he's some foreign national, and he's using an old version of Google translate...:wink:

Does it matter? An idiot is an idiot.

I do wonder why we all allow an idiot dictate the parameters of discussions around here. Are we that bored?

doctors aren't robots or machines, they are human beings just like you and i,

and they have personal decisions to make for their own lives.

like i said before, not prescribing birth control pills isn't a dangerous decision that
could cost someone their life.

have a little flexability for another person, just because she is a doctor doesn't mean
she has to bow down to 'all' patients demands, there are plenty of doctors who will
prescribe birth control pills, and for a patient to kick up a stink because a certain
doctor wouldn't do as they said, is unreasonable.

jeesh, they are only birth control pills.

Upon mulling the situation over and weighing all the ramifications I'm in 95% agreement with you. Today unlike 10 or 20 years ago doctors can be very hard to find except in an emergency situation. Much of the time here there is no doctor in town accepting new patients and then possibly once or twice a year there is a new doctor who accepts new patients but that only lasts a short while. So it's not quite like, say a hardware store or bank where if you don't like one you can pop across the street to another.

Calgary doctor refuses to prescribe birth control - Calgary - CBC News


Is she trying to prove something?

yes she trying to prove that she stands by her person belief system and that it comes before her job

now how this should be handled is unclear to me

what else won't she do in an emergency situation where someone’s life/death is involved due to her judgement or lack there of and why does she believe is it up to her to judge another’s life choices?


an interesting dilemma

She's not trying to prove anything, just exercising her rights as she's completely entitled to do.

she is definitely trying to prove her point

 

[SLM]

she is definitely trying to prove her point

How so and what point would that be?

 

[Sal]

How so and what point would that be?

that her belief system is more important than the requirements of the job...

and apparently as of yet...she is not giving patients birth control regardless of their request

to me it is an interesting conundrum that could set a medical precedent if allowed to continue

my doctor is Hindu...yet she never tells me not to eat meat, although she does not eat meat, she believes in marriage before sex, yet she has never instructed me that I should take vows before continuing in my relationship

it's an interesting stance to take publically

Yep, part of the hypcratic oath is to "do no harm", now this would be very borderline, but some might argue that to cause a person anxiety is to do harm. I know it's "grasping at straws", but I feel she is putting her personal beliefs above the patient. We could extend it a step further and say she has a right to deny blood transfusions because she's a J.W. Maybe I'm being stupid! -
