Good medical care requires a mutually trusting and satisfactory relationship between physician and patient. No physician shall be compelled to prescribe any treatment or perform any act which violates his/her good judgment or personally held moral principles. In these circumstances, the physician may withdraw from the case in accordance with AMA Principles of Medical Ethics, Chapter 1, Opinion 1.1.7 which addresses Physician Exercise of Conscience.
