Can a dr refuse to treat a patient in the er even when it hinders that persons quality of life?
Yes, a doctor can refuse to treat a patient in the emergency room under certain circumstances, such as if the treatment is not medically necessary, if it goes against the doctor's ethical or moral beliefs, or if the patient poses a risk to the staff or other patients. However, emergency departments are generally required to provide stabilizing treatment for patients in critical condition. If a patient's quality of life is significantly affected, the doctor may discuss alternative options or referrals rather than outright refusing care.
