Re: Psych questionFrom: zygote@icsi.netSat Mar 23 08:27:36 2002
The answer is yes if you are told by a person that threats against another person are voiced then breaching confidentially is expected the Regent s of the univ of calif were sued and loss when a psych pt's threats were not relayed and that person was later killed by the pt. \Terasoff v Regents of the Univ of Calif\. A second circumstance that can occur is a pt who is the carrier of a balance translocation where the MD finds that another fam member is present and that pt does not want to inform. It is best to convince the person that info should be given; however in one situation I informed the family member and they carried the samle translocation. I told them to sue me if desired but I would be glad to defend my actions against their illogical behavior in a court. You have to be willing to stand by your principles when you do that.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
