Title: Dilemmas in Healthcare
Topic: Physicians and Ethics
Discussed by Dr. Gene Rudd
with Christian Medical and Dental Association www.CMDA.org
Part 1 of 2
Few professions invoke such a sweeping array of ethical questions as
medicine. Although ethics may factor into life-and-death decisions, they can
also play a role in everyday decision-making, such as whether or not to accept a
lunch invitation from a pharmaceutical representative or ask a former patient on
a date. On many of these issues, physicians are sharply divided.
Dr. Gene Rudd, with the Christian Medical and Dental Association, discusses the
various “treats” pharama reps often dangle in front of doctors in order for them
to push their product. Doctors do not have time to research everything about
every drug that every rep gives to them; it is very tempting to accept a lunch
meeting or a weekend get-away in exchange.
Another issue which causes ethical questions to come to light is dating a
patient or former patient. Listen in as Dr. Rudd explains this dilemma and why
or why not it might or might not be acceptable. He also suggests some simple
solutions to help doctors in the process.
Did you know that six (6) U.S. states have laws permitting physician-assisted
suicide? Doctors – like much of the general public – are deeply divided over the
issue. A slim majority of doctors (54%) say they favor allowing
physician-assisted suicide. Still, a passionate minority (31%) protest that
assisted suicide violates the Hippocratic Oath. Dr. Rudd explains that most of
the physicians who are in support of physician-assisted suicide are in the
younger generation. Why?
Make sure you listen in to the next segment with Dr. Gene Rudd as he discusses
pro-life issues, concerning abortion, children receiving (not refusing)
chemotherapy, and end-of-life care.

Title: Part 2 of 2 - Dilemmas in Healthcare
Topic: Physicians and Ethics
Discussed by Dr. Gene Rudd
with Christian Medical and Dental Association www.CMDA.org
Dr. Gene Rudd says that the new
Congress – and every Congress – should advocate for life, whether or not they
believe they have the votes to pass a bill or not. It shouldn’t matter if there
is a chance that the President will veto the bill – do it anyway. Protect life –
always.

Title: The CMDA Rejects Same-Sex Marriage
Topic: Gay Marriage
Discussed by Dr. Gene Rudd
with Christian Medical and Dental Association www.CMDA.org
On September 18, 2014, the Christian Medical and Dental Association
unanimously affirmed traditional marriage and adopted its Same-Sex "Marriage"
Public Policy Statement, criticizing the “radical revisionist view” which
“ignores millennia of legal and cultural affirmation” of marriage. The CMDA went
on to write that “this skewed belief is divorced from the natural and objective
elements of marriage - physical union and procreation”.
Dr. Gene Rudd is an OBGYN and the Senior Vice President of the Christian Medical
and Dental Association. Today, Dr. Rudd discusses traditional marriage and
relationships between one natural born man and one natural born woman. He also
explains why he believes the philosophy today of “do whatever feels right” will
lead to the downward spiral of our civilization. This includes the divorce rate,
not just homosexual relationships.
If same-sex marriage becomes legal in every state in America, what will be next?
Polygamy? Marrying animals? Marrying your sister? The list could go on and on.
Many people say “Oh that’ll never happen.” Well, that is exactly what they said
about same-sex marriage. Dr. Rudd says that by trying to redefine marriage, “we
are on the cusp of losing the value and true meaning of marriage”.
Listen in as Dr. Rudd compares the objective and subjective qualities of
marriage, discusses the social agenda of scientists, and how physicians are now
being persecuted for their Christian beliefs.

Title: Will Obamacare Drive Faith-Based Physicians Away From Medicine?
Topic: Religious Liberty
Discussed by Dr. Gene Rudd
with Christian Medical and Dental Association www.CMDA.org
A national survey
revealed that 9 out of 10 faith-based physicians are prepared to leave medicine
if pressured to compromise their ethical and/or moral commitments.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is set to mandate a radical
ideological stance – unprecedented and inconsistent with federal law –
regarding conscience, contraception and abortion.
Will Obamacare drive faith-based physicians out of medicine depriving the poor
and medically underserved populations of access to health care?

Title: MOM AND DAD REALLY DO KNOW BEST
Topic: Abstinence Education
Discussed by Dr. Gene Rudd
with Christian Medical and Dental Association www.CMDA.org
Abstinence works. For all ages. But teenagers are especially prone to believe the lie that condom use is 100% safe 100% of the time. More and more parents across the country are encouraging their school districts and local/state governments to teach abstinence education over comprehensive education.

Discussed by Dr. Gene Rudd
with Christian Medical and Dental Association www.CMDA.org
The ethics committee of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists calls for all OBGYN’s to 1. refer patients for abortions 2. not to express their faith-based views, and 3. to relocate their practices closer to abortion providers to make patient referrals more convenient. Will your OBGYN stop practicing medicine before denying their faith?
