The Christian Medical and Dental Association has a weekly newsletter that can be read without subscription on line. The content changes each week.
This week there are two of the three topics that I'd like to point out.
The first is the article on conscience in medicine and CMDA's policy on the actions of our members (I'm a member.)
Although we ask each member to affirm their belief in, we don't tell them how to be a Christian, or make them promise or swear that they'll follow a set of do's and don'ts. However, there are those who would smother the conscience in all of us, since they believe that (and their beliefs are so much more compelling),
The door to "value-driven medicine" is a door to a Pandora's box of idiosyncratic, bigoted, discriminatory medicine.
Hey! I was just doing my job!
The second is a comment on "Designer Babies," by fellow Texan and Chair of the Texas Physicians Resource Council, Linda Flower, MD.
