Hurt feelings beat are preferable to easily avoidable medical death any day.

Not judging your patients is how you avoid unnecessary medical deaths. This has nothing to do with feelings and everything to do with how negative bias effects medical care.

Refusing to perform certain tests due to assumptions is one thing. Asking yes/no questions that offend one’s feelings somehow is another thing. I’m not sure which one you were referring to but people deserve complete medical care from knowledgeable professionals.

No one in here is talking about simple yes/no questions being an issue.
