Sometimes on twitter you stumble across conversations about what doctors really think about each other & patients. Paternalism lives.

@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.

@C7RKY@Sectioned_ I guess the information is shared and then the decision is discussed. It's a complex thing, power not always balanced. -
@elinlowri@Sectioned_ I have to be honest, since I learned the rules of consent, I make sure the balance tips firmly in my direction. :) -
@C7RKY@Sectioned_ That's good. But (as I'm sure you know) hard for some patients to do with some doctors. -
@elinlowri@Sectioned_ Absolutely. Tho I think that may have a lot to do with people not realising what they ought to expect when consenting
