Do you think that female doctors and nurses should be able to deny patient care to men if they are sexist and misogynistic?

You say this like they don’t already have the prerogative to do so. Same applies to racism

I think a female doctor or nurse should have to right to not care for a patient who, for example, grabs her ass. There are too many cases of this and women shouldn’t have to put up with it. Someone else can care for him

Everyone is allowed to deny patient care. For example if I were to try and treat someone in therapy and I didn’t believe that I could properly help them it is my responsibility to let them know this. It’s also my responsibility to let them know others who I believe would be better suited for the situation. This is the expectation.

If a patient is attacking a doctor, the doctor should be able to pass their care to another. But a doctors job is to treat patients, all opinions should be ignored (given that the patient is behaving/being respectful in the moment)

I mean they’ll deserve to get their license suspended and charged with malpractice. The hospital is not going to pity that

You are uninformed. They are better off denying service and having the next person attend them, if the person is complaing due to gender or race they will sue regardless if you leave they can’t do anything

I don’t think you understand. I never mentioned those things. I’m saying overall . Pharmaceutical laws which I don’t expect you to know. So Stop flipping the script.

agreed with this. patient is mouthing off or being rude, that's one thing, but if it goes past that I think any doctor has a right to ask for someone else to take over

Im thinking more in an emergency setting btw, as someone thats had to administer emergency first-aid. You dont really get to care about who it is youre treating, your job is just to prevent further harm

The laws you speak of are irrelevant to the outlined scenario in the post
