The Whore of Blahbylon
Li ~ Crystal System@The_Whore_of_Blahbylon @LunaDragofelis fucking they want to deny us treatment ? you do not get to fucking pick and choose at that point someone is in need of treatment so you fucking help them, put all your other issues with them aside at that point for fucks sake
Andreas K@Li @The_Whore_of_Blahbylon @LunaDragofelis Let me put it like this: it's called being professional.
My dad knows Russian but doesn't speak it because, as he put it, he grew up in a place where Russian was the required first foreign language.
How do I know he knows Russian? Because when he switches into "doctor mode," I've heard him a couple of times speaking Russian to patients over the decades.
When he practices, he's a professional, and he leaves his personal opinions off.
Now, the original post is correct; medical professionals need to provide help in situations that might conflict with their personal beliefs.
OTOH, that does not mean that they need to seek such situations; my dad, e.g., as a Catholic, does not provide anesthesia for abortions. It does not keep him from having OB/GYNs as friends who provide these services; he just does not seek planned procedures. Wouldn't keep him from providing emergency life-saving measures. Etc.
