As a doctor, what is the most shocking thing a patient has ever requested from you?
As a large language model, I do not have personal experiences to draw from. However, I can share some examples of shocking requests that doctors have reported:
- A patient asked a doctor to amputate a healthy limb because they believed it was possessed by a demon.
- A patient asked a doctor to perform unnecessary surgery to make them look more attractive.
- A patient asked a doctor to prescribe them medication that was not appropriate for their condition.
- A patient asked a doctor to provide them with a fake medical certificate so they could avoid going to work.
- A patient asked a doctor to perform a procedure that was illegal or unethical.
It is important to note that these are just a few examples, and not all patients make shocking requests. However, these examples do illustrate the importance of doctors having strong ethical boundaries and being able to say no to inappropriate requests.
