Doctors should be able to decide what treatments or procedures they recommend or refer patients to based on their conscientious beliefs. These decisions are between a doctor and patient and should not be interfered with. If CPSA takes this right away from doctors , we will continue to see more good doctors leave Alberta for places they can practice with less interference. The system prior to Covid worked better as it allowed doctors more freedom to tailor care to their individual patients rather than a one size fits all top down policy approach. Doctors need to maintain the right to practice as per their conscience.
