What might be a reason why a physician or hospital would reject a patient for treatment?

admin — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 03:00:49 +0000

What might be a reason why a physician or hospital would reject a patient for treatment?

A. Uncooperative behavior
B. Inability to pay
C. Patient list already reached the maximum for the physician or hospital
D. All of the above.

Probably D.

Unless it’s a life or death situation, hospitals aren’t required to treat people. For example, just because someone has cancer and could die without chemo or radiation treatment, the hospital isn’t required to treat them unless they are coding. But if someone is in jail, and they need cancer treatment, the state will pay for their treatment because otherwise it would be cruel and unusual punishment to neglect them. Go figure.

The good news, when caught early AKs may be treated. + A dermatologist can be made available to help speak with your listeners on tips to protect their skin including available treatment with the topical cream Carac for AKs.
