What if it doesn't cost you anything? In a universal healthcare system, all providers should cost roughly the same.

My point is that they should not be picky about who their doctor or nurses are, especially when it comes to things like their gender, sexuality or ethnicity.

They're in a position of vulnerability and fear and every effort should be taken by the 'caring' professions to make the patient comfortable and relaxed while they recuperate,
Whatsp are your thoughts though? Should patients be able to discriminate in their choice of healthcare professionals?

In an emergency I don't think you would be picky about who treats you, just that you want to get better as quick as possible.

That's a good point. But in the unlikely scenario that the man having a heart attack wants to have a white doctor, it might be a good idea to focus more on treating him than arguing with him.

Nobody should just feel lucky just being treated because doctor's are WRONG more often than not, when diagnosing illnesses and what not.
Getting a second opinion is important and if you value an Asian doctor's advice over an Indian doctor's, there shouldn't be an issue.
