This is what I mean about the hysteria of medical professionals. How many people are going to die or have their conditions made worse by this hysteria.
You got into this job to help the sick. You knew the risks but now you don't want to play the game.
I think all doctors who do this should be taken upon ethics charges when this is all done.
You are coming off a tad hysterical.
Many people are cancelling appointments and avoiding proximity to anything healthcare related.
Many medical offices are reducing hours and/ or consulting via phone.
Some MDs are deploying to increase capacity in critical locations.
Someone is my community went on a public rant on the Nextdoor app about her Dermatologist’s reduced hours because she needed a Botox touch up.

It may be, as it is in Maryland, that the closure is part of a State of Emergency if your Governor declared one. Doctor and dentist offices here are closed except for emergencies.

According to this “ healthcare” is deemed an essential service in Maryland.
Thankfully you are not a physician. This is not how we think. Every doc knows that there would come a time like this and will remain in the public service.
I think that in retrospect there may be hospital or state board sanctions against those who did not do their duty. I am immunosuppressed from cancer treatment and am still showing up.
No I am not in the medical field- this is for those who feel they must be served. We do not know why that Dr closed shop - he may be ill with the virus himself, but the attitude of the client is over the top. I expect everyone to try to fulfill their commitments wether it’s medical or not. If I do not show, there must be a good reason. Should people also not give the benefit of the doubt ?
Most Drs love to help and cure people. It’s their calling or their passion. I thank God for them. But people need to be considerate of others. I think the OP is upset they are not being attended to as they are accustomed. Well we are in a medical crisis! Nothing is normal.
My doctor's office closed their doors because of the virus.
Is this legal?
Why don't you LOOK UP your local "Public Heath" site to ask advice??
Many small Medical offices ( if you are an actual patient) will notify you on alternate ways to seek medical advice or care?? Course it's obvious, you have Zero CLUE that there is a Medical EMERGENCY going on!!
Anyone with a minimum of experience SHOULD know what's going on..
OP~~ Asking about legal implications surrounding immediate circumstances> only shows your LACKINGS!!
Call your local Public Health person/ or maybe you should call 911 ?? National/International Pandemic seems rather HIGH priority presently.. Good luck with your "Law Suit" of your "Doctor", ROFLMAO
