This is for Warner Andrew Oldenburg MD about physicians caring for physicians, colleagues, classmates.in Medical School - which I couldn't discuss with him because he got married and never was around after that - I got into 'big' trouble for refusing to work up a classmate to present him on Medicine Rounds. And, I asked, but J. Refused and gave me the reasons, reasons which the attending did not understand, but which I did. So I flunked those 3 weeks on Medicine [which Dr. Oldenburg will get a 'kick' out of] simply because of this disagreement about a classmate's right to privacy, but I still got my Internal Medicine Boards on the first try.
In the present of I expect that medical students, interns and residents do not try to do care on an MD patient if that MD patient so requests, because, when you get to that point - you might request that same courtesy - not wanting your medical information in public domain when you seek any medical care - and it happens.
