  • My point is the doctor shouldn’t be prosecuted for taking a decision that the government is forcing them to take. The blame doesn’t lie with the doctors but the government the people chose to make the laws.

    This is what happens when the medical decision has to be guided by legal principles instead of medical reasonings.

    Your anger understandable but directed at the wrong entity. It should be directed towards the government rather than the doctors. They might have been the face of decision taken to deny your wife care but it is not theirs.




  • I specifically said in the case which you elaborated in your reply the rejection was wrong. My response was to what you had shared in your original post before.

    According to the limited details you had shared before one can propose why the rejection was done.

    The problem is not the doctors rejecting care, deciding to safeguard themselves. Only because when the government decides to prosecute anyone it is always the doctor. And the patients that doctor might have cared for no where to be seen.





  • There is difference between preventive investigation and diagnostic investigation.

    If the mammogram was advised because she has a history of breast cancer either familial or in her past; or if she had lumps in her breasts or other signs of breast cancer. Then that mammogram was diagnostic and should not have been rejected.

    If it was a part of preventive screening then perhaps the benefits of rejection outweigh the harm it might have caused.

    Mammogram has a greater exposure to radiation than a x-ray. And can more than likely cause birth defects. Any other place they might ve given abortive pills or contraceptive to mitigate that risk. But this was the land of the free. So it is less risky to just not do it.
