Tuesday, October 8th, 2013 Discussion Topic

Thanks, Ryo! I did have a good Teacher's Day.

As for the topic for today, http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/autistic-girl-turned-away-by-b-c-dentist-1.1871733 makes a return.

Do doctors have the right to turn away patients? Do patients have the right to see any doctor they choose? If there is a personality conflict between the doctor and a patient, is that a good reason to turn away the patient? Or as a professional, should a doctor treat the patient despite his/her feelings?

An interesting fact: Teachers can't turn away students because of personality conflicts.

Please make sure to read some of the comments below the article.

See you tomorrow!
Matthew
