Admittedly, the UK is not Canada (and neither the UK nor Canada is the USA).<br /><br />But in this country we have this fantastic invention called "patient confidentiality". If you have someone as your patient, you are not allowed to give any personal information about your patient to anyone (with a tiny and irrelevant set of exceptions). This personal information even includes the fact that they were your patient at all, and "anyone" includes the police.<br /><br />Why is it a fantastic invention? It makes it safe to seek medical help. You can't be worried about the ramifications of getting medical help, because there can't be any. In real-life situations this is regularly a genuine life-saver for people in otherwise impossible positions.<br /><br />So, in the UK, the idea of someone "having to report a rape" is meaningless. Clinics can't even <i>choose</i> to report a rape, let alone be forced to do so.<br /><br />Do they not have these highly civilised laws in the USA and Canada, too, then?James Cranchhttp://www.srcf.ucam.org/~jdc41noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20067416.post-37818257883567548162010-10-04T08:17:52.543-04:002010-10-04T08:17:52.543-04:00"I've interacted with the staff there for..."I've interacted with the staff there for 20 years.
