sas5814 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 It is an ethical issue. It also tends to be a snowball downhill kind of thing if someone starts looking at it. You treated a family member..issue. You didn't do an appropriate exam and testing....issue. You didn't do appropriate documentation...issue. Maybe you weren't fully forthcoming when this first came up (because we are human)...issue. It is a simple thing that can look really bad when other folks start looking at it. Heaven forbid your friend or family member have a complication or untoward outcome for the problem you treated and didn't document. I'm not saying I haven't done it. I'm saying I see where it could go really wrong under the right circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ral Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Just following up. Explained dilemma with requesting friend. She understood. She just got back from her mini vacation, and visited her PCP, who wrote her an excuse/return to work slip. Thanks again for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
