It would be easy for me (not a doctor and living in a blue state) to say “doctors should just do it,” but would I be willing to break a law I saw as unjust if it meant I’d not only lose my livelihood, but would be put on trial for murder? I’m not sure that the answer is yes and I couldn’t ask doctors in red states to do something that I’m not sure I’d do in that situation.
Honestly, I wish a lot more people would learn this.
There are so many armchair politicians/generals/doctors that continually say “Well you should just do this or that” when they don’t have to worry about the consequences of those decisions, but refuse to grasp the concept that the situation is entirely different when the proverbial gun is pointed at their head. They refuse to grasp the concept that maybe there is information they don’t even know that is actually driving those decisions behind the scenes, making their “just do it” mantra realistically impossible.
And then there are the ones who seem to be perpetually auditioning for the top spot in /c/iamverybadass or whatever the equivalent on here would be. The ones who make unverified claims of how long they’ve supposedly been in the industry or the ones who would say that they would “fight back” in whatever Rambo-esque terms they decide to use. Those are the ones who can at least be dismissed for having no clue what the hell they’re talking about 99.99% of the time.
