Sometimes on twitter you stumble across conversations about what doctors really think about each other & patients. Paternalism lives.
@elinlowri @Sectioned_ Never quite sure about shared. Doc decides what options are clinically appropriate but pt makes the decision, surely?

@elinlowri@Sectioned_ ...patient capacity assumed, of course. -
@C7RKY That's an easy rider to add, unless you've experienced psychiatry where capacity can mean agreeing with the doctor's view.@elinlowri -
@Sectioned_@elinlowri I don't add it lightly, honestly. I recognise what an unscientific nightmare dealing with psychiatry is. Sorry... -
@C7RKY There's plenty of science in psychiatry. The problem is the fallback of coercion facilitates the lazy use of paternalism.@elinlowri -
@Sectioned_@elinlowri I don't personally accept that observation/opinion without clinical test is scientific, but I bow to your experience.
