Ethics: Pharmacist refusal to give drugs
true story long story short.
in TX woman is raped doctor gives script for morning after pill. she goes to eckards pharm says no i wont fill this based on morals and ethics. she goes elsewhere for her script.
Gay Dodson, executive director of the Texas State Board of Pharmacy, said state law allows pharmacists to decline filling prescriptions if the medication could harm the patient.
"The law does not say that the pharmacy can decline because of moral ground," she said.
and the pharmacist is now in trouble possibly getting revoked.
IF an MD refuses to see a patient what happens? should it matter? how bout a DDS?
