Allison has asked her doctor to prescribe a "morning after" pill to prevent a pregnancy. Her doctor, Dr. Williams, tells her tha
t he cannot prescribe the pill, which has the ability to abort a pregnancy, based on his own moral beliefs. Allison tells his medical assistant, Amy, that she thinks it is wrong of Dr. Williams to impose his religious beliefs upon his patients. She says that he should not have become a physician if he could not separate his personal values from patient care. In your opinion, what should Amy say to the patient?
What is her role as an allied health professional?
Should Dr. Williams let his patients know what his religious beliefs are when they are fist seen by the practice?
Is there an ethical or legal problem with Dr. Williams' action?
Amy should tell the patient to ask a different doctor to give her the prescription.
Her role is to provide the patient with the facts, side effects, and rules. Her role is to give the patient what they need (as long as it's safe/necessary) without judgement.
Dr. Williams should let his patients know so that so they can find another doctor if their beliefs don't match and their needs aren't being satisfied.
It is a patient. The doctor can't tell her no if she asks him and if it will work for her. His career is to help the patient, not to judge them
