jeopardized all of us (and herself and the baby as well). If the physician feels the woman in jeopardizing their practice by making choices that
might threaten her health, they won't accept the patient. It is the same with many of the pediatricians who will not accept non-vaccinators into
their practices.
So, the respect for choice goes both ways: from practitioner to patient but also from patient to practitioner."

I am sorry but I don't understand how respect for choice is going both ways if the doctor can "fire" a patient for not complying with the doctor's wishes/ideas, or as you say doing things that endanger her health. How does the patient respect the choices of the practitioner? Thank you, Kathy Eng, BSW, IBCLC
