Because the good doctor was able to compensate for her colleague's weakness -- as it should be. Let us hope all potential patients everywhere are so fortunate.
That's kinda why doctors go into a practice together, though. To help each other out.
And calling Dr. Karam the good doctor isn't really true either, since she couldn't be professional about the situation.

Except it's not that simple, what do you do if your in a small rural county with the closest doctor with a 5-6 hour drive doesn't want to see your child because your lesbians? OR muslim, Or black, or what ever reason?

OR muslim, Or black, or what ever reason? There are big parts of the US where there is 1 pharmacy, 1 doctor, and so on, so having the option to go elsewhere can put a undo burdeon on someone. By the law where it says a reasonable acomidation can a doctor or such be forced to see a patient in such a cirmstance?
Given that this doctor was concerned about cultivating a relationship with the parents, emergency care wasn't an issue. ER docs don't cultivate these types of relationships with their patients, or their patient's family when dealing with minors.
You're making a HUGE assumption that this doctor would refuse to treat a child in an emergency situation based on the fact that she referred care at a pediatrician practice to another doctor.
Y'all REALLY need to stop with the assumptions.
Who said ANYTHING about emergency? A child still needs regular checkups, should a family have to drive hours every time they need a regular checkup? At what point is a doctor putting a undo burdeon on the family? What if your in a very anti gay state and no doctor will accept the child as a family physician and only for emergencies, should the parents have to drive out of state?
In the pharmacy example, having morning after pill isn't nescarily a life threatening emergency, but still being forced to drive multiple hours away because the closest pharmacy refuses to issue.
My drive to this pediatrician's office was 45 minutes. Big deal.
There's also no such thing as an "anti-gay state".
And if you want a morning pill and you have to drive hours to get it, I don't really care. I'd look you square in the face and say "boo hoo".
Were not talking about YOUR driving, were talking about the more rural areas, I live in a small town it's not rural, but it's pretty small and to get to the nearest other town is a boat ride, if we only had one doctor forcing people to go to another town and pay money each time puts a undo burdeon.
The general law in most states is, if a reasonable acomidation can be made a religious objection is allowed. Question is, what is a unreasonable acomidation.
And in this particular case, reasonable accommodation was RIGHT THERE IN THE PRACTICE.
Let's stick to this case instead of creating hypotheticals.
And for the last time (or maybe not ), the lesbians exposed their bigotry by calling for a law to punish (inflict harm) on people who disagree with them and take a stand on their beliefs. Punishment for violating the law is the word I got from you if you recallFor the last time, you are ascribing motivations without any actual support.
Even though the chance of any law, especially since they aren't even proposing one at this point, depend on the state they are in when calling for it. So no, this is by no means "more dangerous" at all.
Can you tell us where this remote location is that is a 5-6 hour drive to the nearest doctor?Except it's not that simple, what do you do if your in a small rural county with the closest doctor with a 5-6 hour drive doesn't want to see your child because your lesbians?
