I completely disagree with the proposed changes! If a person has a request for a certain type of care and the physician is unwilling to provide it or refer it based on his or her ethical and moral stance, then it should be up to the patient to find another doctor on their own. Doctors should be allowed the same rights and freedoms as the patient and should in no be forced to act outside of their conscience or personal standard of practice. If doctors do not feel they have the ability to provide care in a way that aligns with their moral standards I believe we will see a mass exodus of doctors and be left in an even more dire state here in Alberta.
I do NOT support the proposed changes!
