I'm a man and my family doctor just refused saying I will regret it later. She said it would be different if I was over 40. I was 33 at the time.

What part of the world was this?

In Canada, Quebec

I don't go see her anymore, I'd rather not have a family doctor than this stupid doctor.

That's frustrating. If they refuse to do it, they should at least have to provide a referral to another doctor who will handle it if their beliefs get in the way.

If their beliefs get in the way, they need to find another profession. This is pretty well established across the entire industry.

You must provide the same level of care for a pregnant teen, a smoker dying of lung cancer, or a neo Nazi. It doesn't matter how their lifestyle offends you.
