1 Year Old Scabs On Scalp

Remarkable response of a medical association in the event of a breach of confidentiality

Obviously, and one can not trust a doctor more, it goes to the legal department of the Medical Council.


concerned had sent a complaint to the local medical association. This included demonstrable confidentiality violations of a pediatrician and a clinic. The Youth Office has said the children's doctor that, in kindergarten abuse occurred, and signs were asked the doctor for information and investigation. The physician has complied with this request immediately even though pre-set from a medical point of view had no child welfare risk. Then he then noted in his opinion.

The medical reports of the clinic have been ordered by the pediatrician and sent without the knowledge of those concerned with custody of the Youth Welfare Office has been. Only on the court record, the parties have become aware of these confidentiality obligations.

The Medical Association felt that no breach of professional regulations.
was the responsibility of this Medical Association, moreover, there are other cases of similar violations of confidentiality, which also only because of a suspicion expressed by the youth office without the knowledge and understanding of those affected were sent.

CONCLUSION: When it comes to this medical association any doctor can give information to authorities about you and your children

may forget the victims appeared to these regulations.

§ 9
confidentiality

(1) doctors have about what has become entrusted to them in their medical status or known - about the death of the patient or the patient has - to mention. This and written communications are the patient or of patients, medical records, radiographs and other investigation findings.
(2) doctors are entitled to disclosure, unless they are exempted from the confidentiality or if the disclosure is necessary to protect the legal interests of a higher quality. Legal statement and notification requirements remain unaffected. As far as legal rules restrict medical confidentiality, the patient or the patient should be informed about it.

How should parents behave, whom they can no longer trust in such circumstances a doctor? There are many Doctors, who take their confidentiality very seriously. Actually, to a Medical Board shall ensure that patients trust the medical profession and the legal orders of confidentiality can. In addition, a Medical Board shall ensure that those doctors provide, which have high moral and ethical standards to themselves, are not brought into disrepute by doctors, which, as here, negligence handle their confidentiality. This harms the reputation of the medical association of medical practitioners.

Fortunately, there are also medical associations, which take the legal secrecy actually serious. Let's hope that these doctors chamber, a single case remains.
