There is another issue being neglected. A patient needs to be able
to trust his physician. If he is concerned about the physician
reporting on him to the authorities, he won't seek treatment or
cooperate in a way needed for effective treatment. There is a reason
for doctor-patient confidentiality. If the government requires
physicians to report they will get fewer reports rather than more,
and more persons who need treatment, including dangerous persons,
won't get it. Classic unintended consequences. -- Jon ---------------------------------------------------------- Constitution Society http://constitution.org 2900 W Anderson Ln C-200-322 twitter.com/lex_rex Austin, TX 78757 512/299-5001 [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------- |
