an ethical aspect
a fiftytwo years old man comes to me, he has h/o primary infertility. semen analysis report says he is a case of "azospermia" patient requests to hide it from his wife. he says dr plz don't let my wife know about it. and persuade her to allow me to re-marry. i have simply refused him. what are ethical aspects to his request, which is otherwise un-ethical as far as i m concerned...... plz do guide me ...
Hi,You have no obligation to tell anything to anyone.You are his doctor not hers,and you need to stay clear of those types of personal problems.If not you could end up in a Lawsuit.Good luck.
A physician can't give out ANY personal health information to anyone other than the person it belongs to, without written consent. At least, that's how it works in the US.
Your wording sounds like you might be from another country. If so, I don't know what your customs/culture dictates you to do.
