Can doctors place limits on their medical practices?

PHYSICIANS SHOULD EXERCISE GREAT CAUTION and probably seek legal counsel if they decide to place specific limits on the work they will do or patients they will see, lawyer Karen Capen warns. The BC Human Rights Council recently ruled that a physician had violated the province's Human Rights Act when he declined to provide artificial insemination for a lesbian couple. The physician argued unsuccessfully that increased risks of litigation constituted a bona fide and reasonable justification for denying the service.
