I don't know if people can access this thread without joining the forum.
I was wondering if people are doing this, either openly or privately.
One practical reason is obviously with M.E. we may miss some important information in the consultation which we could listen to again at home when we feel like.
It appears to be perfectly legal in the UK and some US states (although I am not a lawyer and just going from this threads contents).
Privately recorded messages CAN be submitted, if the judge agrees, as evidence of abuse or negligence.
However it appears there is hostility to the idea from the medical profession especially doing it openly, where you maybe subject to bullying or being banned.
If anyone wades through it all I liked the story - Take Two Recorders Into your G.P...
One was overt and the other private. During the consultation the G.P. told his patient to turn off the recorder, which they did, at which point the Doctor began yelling at the patient (all recorded on the private recorder)
Of course , so long as the Doctor is behaving in a professional manner, and practicing medicine in a scientific way, then I can oonly see this as a win win situation and in any good doctors favour?
I was wondering what people think....
