I have not commented on these threads, but have been reading them with interest. Assuming that the poster who identified himself as Dr. Heasham truly is Dr. Heasham, I am really rather shocked that a doctor would divulge so much personal and detailed information about a patient on a Forum like this.

Does doctor/patient confidentiality exist in England? Perhaps I'm expecting too much. I feel that the above response from the Dr. smacks of unprofessionalism. A doctor can publicly defend himself on a Forum like this without divulging the detailed information on a patient as was done here.

I guess the code of ethics for professionals is much different in England than it is in the United States.

Just my sorry old two cents.
