im looking for opinions on a issue that occurred. now this is something that happened a while ago but it still irks me...
i was working in a ob/gyn clinic and we had a 8 month pregnant lady that was seen every month since the beginning of her pregnancy. one day her husband calls the doctor and tells him that he has had an affair and has contracted a std . he is scared for his wife and unborn baby that he will pass this to them. but he does not want her to know that he had this affair but she needs to be checked which requires a pelvic exam and he testing itself...in order to do this the doctor must lie to the patient ... now im just looking for opinions, the doctor ended up lying to the patient and she did not find out as far as i know...as the nurse i felt like climbing in a hole in the floor so i just backed out of the whole thing...this really has bothered me a lot. what do you think about all this mess
