While in my opinion Doctors have the right to refuse treatment to anyone for personal reasons, their code of ethics should play a part also.

RE a doctor dropping a chronic alcoholic, I find this distasteful. Alcoholism is a serious disease of the MIND. It's more than just a "why don't you just stop drinking" kind of treatment. It's not that easy. Addicts and alcoholics are not just WEAK pathetic people, they honestly can't stop, knowing the HUGE implications it has for living a "normal" life.
