Yes it is an ethical issue, for the doctors and the patients. I just feel like you're giving a free pass to patients that lack expertise demanding particular treatments from experts. I think they are more culpable than the doctors.
- logicchains 13y agoWell if patients are the problem then the whole thing's a moot point; patients are just getting what they deserve for refusing not only to trust doctors but also to do even a tiny bit of research for themselves. The problem is that such things can harm the whole population, even those who make sensible health decisions, due to how antibiotics overuse encourages the development of antibiotics-resistant superbugs. If doctors can't stop this, then who can?
