I’m gonna come out and say it again — if you feel the need to refuse standard of care medical treatment for religious or moral reasons, you don’t belong in medicine. Just fuck off and find a career where vulnerable people relying on you don’t suffer because of your selfishness. I treat nazis. I treat pedophiles. I treat people of all stripes. I’ve treated drunk drivers after I took the radio call to pronounce time of death for their victims.

We. Don’t. Refuse. Care.

And it is not just fear, fear of standing alone, that restrains you; it is also genuine uncertainty.

It’s not so easy replicating genuine human emotions with authenticity when your only tools are mimicry and wild speculation.
