Hello Emil, I have a question regarding question 3. I don't understand why Dr. R declined Mr. Wang's request based on the fact that no evidence supported acupuncture. I thought that as a doctor, you need to respect patient autonomy and that even after explaining and fully informing the patient about all the options (whether traditional or alternative), if the patient still wants to pursue the alternative intervention, then you cannot force anything and must respect their decision. So, why is the Dr. refusing to give the referral if he deems that there is no evidence supporting the intervention? Isn't this going against autonomy. I believe he would be in the right to refuse if he found that the intervention is unethical or can harm the patient, then that would make more sense. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated
Yep, it doesn't make much sense. Since it's part of the question, you would just take it at face value, however the idea of patient autonomy doesn't apply here. Mr Wang only needs a referral to receive insurance payments for acupunture, he can still go regardless of whether the doctor gives him a referral or not. In this case, you are right in saying that it would be more correct for the doctor to only deny the request if he felt that acupunture would harm the patient, but since this is just a question, you would take this information as is and just answer the question
@@EmilEddy Hi Emil, I noticed that you’re Australian and I was wondering if you could give your thoughts regarding COVID-19 vaccination and body autonomy? For instance, Novak Djokovic will be deported from Australia, denying the tennis champion the opportunity to win a record 21st Grand Slam. Australia is booting him out of the country because he refuses to get vaccinated. This concept seems asinine to me because he is practicing his right to autonomy and vaccines have been proven to not stop transmission of the virus, so he was not harming anyone. How would you answer such a question if it showed up on an MMI?
Great question. Autonomy means patient has freedom to choose what he or she wants. But Patient can't force the doctor to do something which the treating doctor believe that it is not going to be beneficial. As treating doctor, the doctor have duty to explain risks and benefits of all options based on his knowledge ( he is qualified for western medicine, but not for acupuncture) but patient can make the final decision as rule of autonomy. Another ethic to apply here is beneficence ( the best for the patient) if the treating doctor doesn't believe that it is the best for patient, he should not write referral letter because writing referral letter means the doctor recommend the treatment. To be clear, the doctor doesn't write the letter means he does not recommend the treatment but not refusing patient from the treatment.
@@EmilEddy oh wow, no wonder the Australian UCAT cutoffs are so much higher than the UKs, we are told to start prep no more than 5/6 weeks before, most do 4 weeks before! Just want to say thank you so much for yout videos, they are so helpful, and your Interview book is really good aswell, hopefully I can smash my interview coming up in January :)

Hey Emil, when would you say is the best time to start preparing for the UCAT? Great videos btw!
It's a great idea to start thinking about it now, but probably start preparing in January if your test is in July/August!
