“I’m just doing what I am told” is basically the operating principle of everybody now no matter what.
Everyone saw this coming everybody talked about the implications of it it was very well understood, it was very well known.
If you’re in this position you have a choice to make: Do what is good for your patient or keep your job
The fact that the entire medical (and almost every) industry is like this should be an indictment of our entire society but the fact that nobody, not even doctors, are going to put their job on the line for someone else even if they might die tells you what you need to know about who you live around.
- ok_dad 5mo agoThis isn’t a job risk, those doctors will be imprisoned for a very long time, or worse, if they perform anything resembling an abortion. The voters of Alabama wanted that, apparently.
- AndrewKemendo 5mo agoYeah thats part of being in a job that has mortality as a part of it If you’re in the critical path of someone else living or dying, you need to be prepared to take the same risks I’ve done it myself and was willing and enthusiastic about putting my life at risk for something I thought at the time was worth dying for. If you’re not willing to die to save/help someone else then you’re really just committed to your own survival which imo is just narcissism
