Some practices do; some don't. The better managed ones have a practice
leaflet that describes their information sharing practices and gives
the patient a chance to opt out. OK, so you might have to forego a
couple of IoS claims a year, but what's the big deal?
I am a lecturer in computer science; my brother is a lecturer in
surgery. He gets paid about twice what I do, for a similar job with
similar hours and comparable qualifications. A significant part of the
reason for this is that the public perceives doctors to be `ethical',
to be particularly trustworthy, to be super-respectable. Will you risk
that for the price of a round or two at the pub?
