Another and more general point is the question of what one is invited to
sign. An argument later over not completing a form for BUPA without
crossing out the bit about "necessary" in the referral may lead to more
door slamming, and if the fee for completing that is the very reasonable
£50 it might be argued either than the fee was not for considering it
but for signing it unaltered regardless, or that the service requested
had not been performed and the fee should be returned. Unsuccessfully,
I hope.
Nevertheless, as a doctor one is expected and required to exercise more
thought over these things than simply as a citizen, and if there is no
element of professional judgement involved, then steps should be taken
to ensure that it does not appear to have involved professional judgement.
Rubber stamps should be rubber stamps, not doctors.
