The only religion that my patients see me practice is medicine

Dr. Jennifer Gunter’s article on the KevinMD website does a very good job of clarifying some of the boundary issues physicians face when it comes to various religious beliefs.

The notion that physicians should be restrained from discussing the full array of treatment options with patients because of the religion beliefs of someone not even in the room is ludicrous. This is censorship.

Physicians should be able to provide patients with the whole array of treatment choices and let the patient make the decision based upon the patient’s religion.
