• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there ever a situation where a doctor can legally refuse to render aid to someone?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In the US, doctors are obligated to treat patients in immediate need of care (in a professional setting - an emergency department, for example - not just walking down a street.) They can’t discriminate against patients for non-clinically relevant reasons (race, gender identity, etc.) They CAN refuse care if they lack specific skills or the patient is “abusive.”

  HOWEVER, these are ethical obligations (I pulled that info from the American Medical Association’s Code of Medical Ethics.)

  You asked about legal obligations.

  I am not well versed in doctors’ legal duty of care - laws are not consistent across national and local jurisdictions.

  You also used the word “aid” so I am approaching it from an emergency context.

  In a professional setting, there are limited reasons a medical professional could refuse emergency care where the immediate outcome is death. Perhaps someone with more legal expertise could direct you - I’m only familiar with ethical constraints.

  This is what I do as a business owner. Buy insurance from the marketplace.

  So what you’re saying is we should expect Elon Musk to start a zeppelin company at some point in the near future.

  Man, it’d be crazy if humans had spleens too.

  Speak for yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you ever worry that you're secretly a psychopath that unknowingly manipulates people around you?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact you are even asking this makes me think you’re not a psychopath or sociopath.

  A (psycho/socio)path would probably not be introspective at that accusation. They would probably just dismiss it or be angry that someone could even think that about them.

  I am not a therapist or licensed to diagnose someone and no professional would/could ever diagnose someone without meeting them and interacting.

  I would strongly suggest seeking out a therapist. I am a huge proponent of therapy for everyone - everyone needs an impartial party to talk to about things, even when things are going well.

  This is purely a guess but I feel like the people who do this are probably also more likely to get into an accident where the airbag would deploy.

  At least in my state, if your employment is terminated for poor performance, the employer can deny unemployment insurance claims. If you’re just laid off, they must pay out unemployment insurance claims.

  By blaming the victim, the company saves money. It’s such scumbaggery.
