But lets roll with it, the necessity of a profession determines whether or not people in that profession are capable of waiving rights/ought to waive rights. All of my "objectionable organization" responses apply. And even moreso......do I have to join some organization or association? Some needed profession? Why can;t I just waive my rights as a "non-necessary" joe?
We need doctors. Everyone. All of society. They must be required to drop their personal issues at the door and do their jobs. It's a necessity.

They can be held accountable for malpractice - but if they refuse treatment, that's a non starter - and they -can- refuse treatment, for a variety of reason.
I explained where I went with this earlier. To recap simply. A consistent application of this sort of justification would probably slit the throat of some other sacred cow you wouldn't want me to touch. Normally I;m okay with slippery slopes - we'll handle the permutations as they arise. But this is about our rights - which are fundamental to law. If the slope is so much as covered with dew when it comes to rights -it's time to close down the mountain while we troubleshoot.
