By that logic it's up to you to die or not from being shot in the face. That's like 18th-19th century or earlier model of world. > A dentist ... have no obligation to help you. btw, this is region dependent. Medical services are just businesses in the US, but doctors are obligated to provide emergency cares by law in many regions. |

No that’s an issue directly caused by a 3rd party. Hunger is imposed not by an individual but by biology.

There’s some confusion around what is the responsibility of an emergency room and individuals, but UK, USA, Canada, Singapore, etc don’t require doctors to act in an emergency. The US requires emergency rooms to protect treatment in an actual emergency but not everything qualifies. https://www.acep.org/life-as-a-physician/ethics--legal/emtal....
Every country is different but few require doctors to act in an Emergency and non for general care, it’s basically a handful of European countries and Australia. Even then it’s a minimal level of treatment.
