@Cleverestcookie I understand why you say that, but being surprised by attitudes towards consent has become a regular thing for me. :-/
@Cleverestcookie V much so. I think this emphasises the futility of that choice to be responsible tho, if you don't have the neccesary info.

@Cleverestcookie Not sure I understand that? If paternalism brings the greatest personal risk for HCPs, why do so many still engage in it? -
@C7RKY a lot of effort to change. IME people don't think things through logically -
@Cleverestcookie Ain't that the truth. And it doesn't just apply to medicine, but the power granted to clinicians makes it more concerning. -
@C7RKY other professional person or expert. 'Show me your worth' I say -
@Cleverestcookie Oh no Cathy. They have very real and terrifying power, trust me. Esp with the MHA & poor regulation. V much open to abuse. -
@C7RKY I don't think the majority would consciously practise abuse. A minority perhaps, and some through ignorance -
@Cleverestcookie Whilst it's admitedly a tool of last resort & I can't know scale, its abuse is alarmingly common among complainants/WBers. -
@C7RKY that's why they're complaining and whistleblowing. Defensive response & cover up likely to go hand in hand with other poor practice - 2 more replies
