didn't sign a consent form

[roscoe15]

I went to the psychiatrists last week with my dad. This doctor was supposed to be good. I had to pay 350$ to see him. Me and my dad (who I did not want in the meeting) went into the doctor's office. I was expecting a conscent form to sign stating that my dad was welcome to sit in on the conversation. Which I wouldn't have signed. But he never mentioned it and brought up a lot of my drug use and other things I didn't want my dad to know. Should I sue this doctor? My parents are high class and disagree and say that I'm twisted in the head. I'm not getting someone away with murder I'm following the laws that someone else should have been using in the first place or I wouldn't have to do this. Thoughts. I should have told the doctor I wanted him out of the room. It just kinda happened I'm ashamed

Welcome to Bluelight.

I'm not really sure to be honest as I don't know which country you are from and the laws may be different. I am from the UK and there is a strict patient confidentiality here with doctors and patients. However, if I say, brought my parents in with me then the doctors has never asked me to sign a consent form. I presume that they assume that you don't mind them being there if they are coming in with you. I am unsure as to the reason for your visit but if it was to discuss your drug use then assuming that you were wanting your Dad in the room with you the doctor probably thought you had no issue with bringing this up. If the appointment was for another matter other than your past drug use then I don't understand why your doctor would bring it up.

But I am sorry I am unsure as to whether you are able to sue your doctor. The best advice would be for you to contact a lawyer and ask them. However, if you were to put a bit more detail here then maybe someone else with a bit more understanding of this sort of thing, may be able to help you.

I am really sorry that this has happened to you and that it has caused problems between you and your parents.

All the best.
Evey
