Is that legal?
- hckr_news 6y agoPerhaps due to religion or culture, the doctor is allowed especially in primary care?
- ardy42 6y ago> Is that legal? IIRC, gynecologists aren't even allowed to treat men, even though they're most qualified to treat certain diseases/problems that males can have (just far more rarely than women). I don't remember the specifics, though.
- smnrchrds 6y agoIs this true? It seems like a decision that was in effect for less than three months only in the US back in 2013 and it was quickly reversed. Has this been reinstated since? https://www.cbc.ca/radio/whitecoat/why-can-t-gynaecologists-treat-male-patients-1.2790475 https://www.cbc.ca/radio/whitecoat/why-can-t-gynaecologists-...
