Impeccable logic! What makes you think everyone in a situation like that has resources to seek help elsewhere? How is that even legal? Patients didn't seek her out for a 'favor.' Years later, when she contracted COVID and required serious help, she received full care without being turned away from any facility, did she? And she still died anyway!
@@lgbtqarchivesSo better to be treated by a doctor who doesn't respect you and no doubt will not give you the best, or perhaps even adequate, care? Do you think she would have done her best by him?
@@Pisti846 I don't believe that at all. However, I also don't think we should view cases like this as mere accidental favors that happened to fortunately benefit one person. Instead, we should look at the bigger picture and expose the underlying bigotries. The point is, when she became ill, she wasn't concerned about the medical staff's religious beliefs. She just wanted to get well. However, she did not extend the same consideration to him and potentially to other people in need. Good thing he was able to get back to his Los Angeles doctors. Shame on her, but I do agree that she would not have cared for him properly.

good on for you for name and shaming. how dare she. your honesty is activism
A Christian doctor who refuses to treat a patient on principle is neither a doctor nor a Christian.
Nor principled.
It goes to show one could graduate from the most prestigious schools and yet be the most ignorant ...
Would you want to be treated by a doctor who didn't want to treat you?
Maybe she did you a favor because otherwise she would mistreat you.
