Re: Dr. Bob doesn't have obligations here *trigger

Just wanted to give another example.

Just because Dr. Bob is a pdoc doesn't mean he has any obligations here, right? I mean, if someone were to threaten suicide and it really seemed that that person was going to go through with it, Dr. Bob isn't obliged to do anything. Dr. Bob wouldn't break any ethical rules by letting the person die. Right? This is because he's not a doctor *here*. He's just like everyone else. He doesn't have to do anything whatsoever to help. It's perfectly understandable for him to sit back and watch someone kill themselves (so long as the person isn't a current patient). Right?

Let's say he was walking home and saw someone getting ready to hang themselves on a tree, he doesn't have to stop and call the police if he doesn't want to get involved. Right? He certainly won't get into any trouble. I mean, it is pretty cold to just see something like that and walk away, but he still doesn't *have* to do anything.
