    This law doesn’t really restrict what doctors do. If anything it gives doctors more power.

    It restricts hospitals and pharmacies, basically preventing them from vetoing prescriptions from idiot doctors.

      I appreciate the nuance. I suspect it still puts doctors on a difficult position though, when patients can basically go to their physician and demand that they poison them.

        They can still catch screw ups (check to confirm if the doctor really wants something). But if the doctor insists that they want it, then the hospital/pharmacy has to provide it.
