What are you talking about? All of medical professionalism is an opinion then. It's still enforced by state medical boards. I think you're attributing motivations and opinions to me that I don't hold.
While I do love the cute picture, my point is what she did to that family after they interviewed and filtered thru many pediatricians , both accepted eachother, had a prenatal pediatrician visit, and then suddenly drop them the day of the 6 day visit to suddenly be stuck with someone else they didn't want, was unprofessional. It hits at the core of medical professionalism - that u wouldn't treat and evaluate a 6 day old baby, who u interviewed with and accepted, bc her parents happen to be lesbians. It is the action here.
I stated that it is my opinion, to be nice, and not get attacked. You can test out this scenario with a complaint to the medical board under medical professionalism and let me know which side they rule on.
Is that your answer? Your meme made more sense. Do u really not see any ethical, moral, or professionalism concern in this case?
You think her error here is being awkward in communication?
I think if she would have communicated with the parents better, we wouldn't be having this conversation
I disagree, the baker communicated and so did the florist...
The baker was a complete dick. I mean communicate without being a complete dick.
Yes, by not accepting in the first place. She knew they were lesbians when they interviewed her and she accepted.
Well then we'll agree to disagree.
I've given a script about 6 different times about a way the doc could have communicated that wouldn't be as inflammatory as what she did. I'm getting sick of repeating myself
Honestly I know essentially nothing about the florist case so I can't speak to that
I think you're missing the point. The doc could have handled this better, but telling the parents that she couldn't treat the child because the parents are lesbians would result in outrage no matter how nicely you say it.
Well duh, that's why you don't say that.
So then why accept them post-interview and do a prenatal visit? She knew from the very beginning they were gay.
No, what I'm saying is that you can refuse politely without saying the exact reason why.
You never lie 100%
It's a personal failing. I'll work on it.
Love you long time.
Eh... that I disagree with, because too many people are dinguses basically. But I get why you think that way
That part has kinda confused me as well. As best I can tell, after the prenatal visit she prayed on it and decided she couldn't care for the kid after all but that's pure conjecture on my part.
And thats the issue. That is why i am shaking my head that this is bc of her opinion and not action. There are several "checkpoints" in which she could have said no in which there would not have been a problem. The prenatal visit established a relationship with this family. She was a devout Christian before this and knew they were gay. The family went thru all that trouble so that they wpuldn't have the situation that ended up happening anyways.
Yeah I'm sure they tried to use gay voodoo on her during the prenatal visit. There were certain checkpoints where she would have been fine. She missed those checkpoints.
There are specific procedures in place to ending that relationship properly. detailed by the AMA's Code of Ethics.
I never said the AMA had certain checkpoints. You should read what I wrote.
I didn't say the AMA had checkpoints. I said in this specific case there were, where she would not have gotten the blowback she did.
