Description
Hypothetical Situations based on Real Life
This one deals with the dilemma of the G.P. in various situations. Should the doctor preserve secrecy or should his/her duty be to Society? A 15 year old girl wants the G.P. to put her on the pill but not tell her mother. It then transpires that incest is involved. A woman smuggling diamonds has medical problems. Should a doctor tell the police if he treats a possibly suspicious person when someone was wounded in a robbery?
