Greetings Merriam-webster dictionary decribes a 'physician' as: 1 : a person trained in the art of healing specifically : a health-care professional (such as a dermatologist, internist, pediatrician, or urologist) who has earned a medical degree, is clinically experienced, and is licensed to practice medicine as usually distinguished from surgery : a doctor of medicine or a doctor of osteopathic medicine 2 : someone or something that has a beneficial effect or influence. Mandating such language as "effective referral" to CO standards will add in the destruction of the physician ("beneficial- art of healing"). "Many patients want providers whose values fit with theirs, and a large group of patients want to be served by providers who decline to offer certain procedures" ei... MAIDS and Abortion. Albertians want health and care, a mandate death referal is neither. Please do not lower a physician role to "deathsician". The "right to healing" needs to replace "effective referral" thank you.
