GPUkers, may recall the last thread that we discussed on this,
regarding releasing medical information for patinets who need
treatment/re-patriation. Have just had another request for this which
initially I declined. They were persistent however and asked to speak
to me. The usual emotional blackmail re the patinet not getting
treatemnt unless I provided the information ASAP. Did we reach any
conclusions re this?? did we not suggest that the BMA should look into
this?? If so has anything been done?? I am likely to provide the
information for a peaceful life, but fear the repurcussions if the
patinet is not covered. however by not releasing the information, no
doubt I will get the wrath of the patinet. When I mentioned to this
girl that no fee was mentioned, she said 'er no'. When I mentioned
that if I did it then a fee would be required, she said 'er, yes'. She
seemed amazed that I was getting so irate about releasing this
information and when I stated that I knew many other GPs who would be
unhappy about releaasing the information, she stated that she had not
come across one!
