Basically what esquilax said, this is the job. Why should they get paid for not doing their job. Also, what if the second doctor refuses and the third and the fourth and the fifth? What happens when, lets say a really hated person like Hitler is in need of medical assistance or he will die. What happens when everybody refuses to treat him. He dies. Sure, he deserves it, but that isn't how our justice system works and it's a slippery slope. Where do you draw the line?
