DoctorsNS, which ostensibly "speaks for” physicians in NS, recently sent an email missive on how upset we all were about the Dobbs decision in the US which repealed Roe v. Wade. But many physicians who spoke with me had a much more nuanced understanding of this subject, and were not on board with the release, which seemed to have all the elements of virtue-signalling and bandwagon-jumping without a sense of nuance or even a basic demonstrated understanding of US law or what the decision actually means. Many physicians were disappointed that DNS deigned to “speak for them”.
Thanks to Aris for taking the time to speak with me - I hope those who listen find the conversation thought-provoking, whether-or-not you agree with our points.
This discussion is supplementary to my latest Substack post on the (warning - understatement!) “thorny” issue of abortion.
