Extract

In a letter in the February issue of JOGC, Rebecca J. Cook and Bernard M. Dickens state, “Physicians who feel entitled to subordinate their patient’s desire for well-being to the service of their own personal morality or conscience should not practise clinical medicine” (emphasis added).
The statement is unsupported by their own legal references, and it has little to recommend it as an ordering principle in the practice of medicine.
