You told me that doctors who don't want to participate in MAiD can willingly opt-out of it and refer any patients to other doctors.
This seems completely opposite, unless you mean doctors are being forced to not throw up barriers to access to MAiD to be the same as being forced to participate in MAiD, which seems totally backwards.

- notatoad 4y agoHealth care in canada is limited by availability, and there's often a wait to be able to see a doctor. If a patient has waited in line to see a doctor, but the doctor they draw fails to treat them, a referral allows the patient to see another doctor instead of being sent to the back of the line again. A doctor should not be able to impede or delay somebody's legal right to medical care just because they have a personal objection to it.
- govg 4y agoGood thing they're using your abilities as a medical professional, not your beliefs in your personal moral sphere. As a professional you're required to provide the same service to everyone without any regard to your own beliefs. Otherwise medicine as a national service doesn't work.
