How do people’s religious beliefs affect their health care? Patients may refuse certain types of care if the treatment offered varies too greatly from their beliefs. Patients may be refused treatment by some U.S. hospitals because of their religious beliefs. Patients may be refused treatment because some doctors only treat patients of the same religious background. Patients may refuse medication but never refuse blood transfusions.
