I would never sacrifice my individual beliefs as a citizen to my corporate responsibilities.

Well, I would never do a study because I'm a practicing physician. I mean, all I do is treat people.

I don't necessarily want my physician making all my decisions.

When I took the Hippocratic oath and was effectively 'sworn in' as a doctor, I took the same vow that doctors have taken for generations. Patient autonomy is core to this oath.

I'd make a terrible practitioner of any religion in any formal setting.

I would never want to disrespect my beliefs. There are certain, obviously different, areas you wouldn't go. It's not congruent to who I am as a person, and it would be insincere, and it wouldn't be based on truth.

I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong.

One of the first duties of the physician is to educate the masses not to take medicine.

If I'm at the front line and refuse to treat a patient, it's considered a crime. As a physician, this is my oath. I'm going to treat everyone regardless.
