if a doctor spends time in court, that’s time they’re not spending saving lives… public health is about making sure the resources of public care are allocated to as many people as possible
Doctor’s would much rather save patient’s, but that’s also harder when you’re in court instead of the office or hospital. In the meantime they have to cross their fingers that the patient hangs on long enough to come close enough to death that they’re allowed to save them.
They can save them at any time. They choose to force them close to death so they can avoid spending time in court.
At least if a doctor takes the day off to spend time in court the hospital can find a replacement to treat the patients. If the doctor stays, but decides to deprive their patients of care to avoid court, then the hospital isn’t going to replace them.
Overall, more people suffer and more people die.
I don’t blame them, I choose to keep my head down to not sacrifice myself too, but let’s not pretend it isn’t happening.
