Confidentiality and High-Risk Patients
The parents of an adult child (age 23 years) come to you in your role as the patient's family physician with concerns that they are unable to obtain information regarding their daughter.
She had received much attention from the health care community as a result of diabetes mellitus and chronic pain, stemming from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident four years previously. She had recently become increasingly withdrawn.
What could you, as the usual treating physician, tell the parents? Is there an ethical way of having them understand what transpired in your treatment plans?
Four months after their initial visit, the parents arrive at your office with a death certificate, the will of their recently deceased daughter, and a toxicology report indicating the presence of benzodiazpines and narcotics.
They are actively grieving and questioning why they were not included in the treatment interventions. Does it make a difference to your obligations, if the patient herself indicated she does not want her parents to know about her health treatments?
If the patient did not expressly state a desire to keep her information confidential, is there a legal obligation on your part to engage concerned parents in a treatment plan that will assure this high-risk individual's safety?
