Psych consultant says, could you please contact patient and organise and do U&E and FBC as she's purging. I write back and say respectfully "please organise this yourself as it properly forms part of your management of bulimia, and anyway you will want to be responsible for seeing and acting on the results as the requesting clinician, so safer system if you retain responsibility" .
