In most jurisdictions, doctors are in fact free to refuse treatment for a variety of reasons. Not any reason, of course. One cannot discriminate. A current patient requiring urgent or life-saving care generally means you can't just dump them. But something like a fundamental mismatch in philosophy regarding medicine?

They can also simply just move or retire, of course.
