It also reduces the Dr’s credibility.
Morally yes, I don't know if the Hippocratic Oath has any legal obligation to offer aide. If it doesn't in most states the "Good Samaritan" laws should protect him. Put he doesn't seem like the type of doctor I'd want to have work on me.

And I'm sure to the dismay of a lot of motorists I've been able to reach 30MPH's on straight/flat roads.
