I very much understand that, but it is not what I meant.

Let's out a hypothetical example, just to make the point. Let's say that a white doctor refuses to treat a Muslim patient because of his religion. Or let's say that a Muslim doctor refuses to treat a women, even though he could because his religion doesn't allow him to do that.

That lady one sort of happened a long time ago in my town

My point is not that a doctor must perform all procedures whether they can or not, my point is that they must perform all procedures to help a patient, irrespective of what they think or fell about that patient.

A nice opposite of my example, and how it should be is that rather famous picture of a black doctor saving the live of a KKK asshole. That is how it's supposed to be. You are a doctor, you do what you can and you don't opt out ONLY because you don't like something about the patient or procedure they need
