I bet 95% of the people on this forum technically have a co-morbidity. The graphs would say I'm obese at 5'11" and 195 pounds. I asked you if you would've worn a mask if HIV was transmissible in the air?
Yep, and certain ones are worse than others.
It didn't stop me from sharing drinks and doing food prep together so probably not.
I'd have to look at the table but its not accurate as it does not take into account factors besides scale weight and height.
At 200+ and only 5'7" I was morbidly obese by BMI standards yet my labs were medically perfect, I had a 31" waist, I could easily carry a sofa pull out couch over my head and didn't need transmission jacks to do transmission work.
Just like urgent cares don't have to provide medical aid to you if don't have the right insurance. You want people to have a choice to not get vaxxed or not but don't want to give Doctor's a choice if they want to see the unvaxxed or not. You have an interesting thought process.
But providers are refusing care based on rona vax status which goes against their Hippocratic Oath oath. By refusing care they are doing harm and you did make the comment about dr refusing trump supporters. Its not 100% the same but the mantra exists. Cops will stop responding to family violence calls until callers profess their stance on 'defund the police'.
A dr wanting to go down that route should have the ethical scruples to provide alternate providers to customers. I wouldn't want to be seen by a dr who's views are so askew-ed of my own, that is causes me to question the veracity of their treatment they might actually provide. I actually dumped my first dr in my current city after she tried to shove meds down my throat that I did not agree with.
If we do go down that route, police, fire and EMT should stop responding to calls in bad neighborhoods.
Like the saying goes, kill'em all and let God sort them out. But my dr and her whole clinic refused the rona vaxx so I'm good to go. No harm no foul.
If a doctor decides to go that route, they should let their current patients and the public be aware so potential patients can make informed decisions.
Lastly, the AMA code of ethics:
1.1.2 Prospective Patients
As professionals dedicated to protecting the well-being of patients, physicians have an ethical obligation
to provide care in cases of medical emergency.
Physicians must also uphold ethical responsibilities not
to discriminate against a prospective patient on the basis of race, gender, ****** orientation or gender
identity, o
r other personal or social characteristics that are not clinically relevant to the individual’s care.
Nor may physicians decline a patient based solely on the individual’s infectious disease status.
Since the rona was so severe, millions dying right, Dr's shouldn't be turning people away.
(c) Meeting the medical needs of the prospective patient could seriously compromise the physician’s
ability to provide the care needed by his or her other patients.
The greater the prospective patient’s
medical need, however, the stronger is the physician’s obligation to provide care, in keeping with
the professional obligation to promote access to care.
I don't like forcing any profession to do work they deem unethical, religiously conflicting, etc.. but they should have no issue making their stance public. Its a slippery slope.
