When information is not disclosed to the patient
Patients have the right to the information in their medical record. In exceptional situations, physicians can refuse to disclose the information in the record to the patient, but only if they reasonably believe there is a significant likelihood that disclosing the information will have a substantial adverse effect on the patient’s physical, mental, or emotional health, or cause harm to a third party. The onus in such circumstances is on the physician to justify denying a patient access to information in their medical record.

Thank you ‘allyoops’
My psychologist makes up rules as she goes along. I have not been suicidal or threaten to harm anyone. I have decided to stop seeing her.
Other practitioners tell me things that are confidential. They clearly state they are not supposed to tell me. I trust them more than someone who makes up rules. She does not care she is causing me more stress. At four hundred dollars a week I will go bankrupt.
Another example she does not give me receipts when I pay cash. She told me that’s not her job. About a week later someone from Admin emails me a receipt. Twice Admin stated I did not pay. Too much hassle for me.
