I think the notion of forcing physicians to refer patients for treatments counter to the physician's conscience is absolutely horrific. It is an indefensible intrusion in the doctor/patient relationship, and, as far as I'm concerned, the College has absolutely no business undertaking such regulation of this sacred relationship. To say nothing of the relationship of the human being with themselves.
Isn't being a doctor challenging enough, especially right now, without them having to contend with this kind of threat from their own College? Shameful. Stop trying to impress the Feds. It's a terrible look.
