[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This does happen when patients specificallyand politely challenge a dr's actions or plan. The dr fears liability and invokes "loss of trust." Then fires patient. [b]Doctors panic when they know they did something that can be questioned. [/b]They also do not like being involved in complicated situations that might involve court subpoenas,[b] such as when pediatricians treat a child whose parents are going through a litigated divorce[/b]. This may be happening more simply because of the consolidation of practices, more involvement of consultants/lawyers, etc.o [/quote]

:lol: Everything doctors do can be questioned. We know that. And we answer questions from the first to the last appointment. Questions aren't the problem when they are reasonable and not inappropriately presented (true on both sides, of course).

As for court subpoenas in pediatric cases, everything is already in the medical records. All someone can do is reference the record. Courtyard rarely subpoenas for that, but if they do, they do, and there is often compensation. Either way, it's already all in the record. It's not stressful. That's not it, either.[/quote]
