The National Medical Commission, in its draft professional conduct regulations, has proposed doctors may refuse treatment in case of abusive and violent patients or relatives. The registered medical practitioner (RMP) attending the patient will be fully accountable for his actions, as per the draft regulations. The draft further says that a RMP is free to choose whom he will serve, except in case of a life-threatening emergency.
