Guest guest Posted February 20, 2002 Report Share Posted February 20, 2002 Bob, I was rather moved by your response to Jame's protocol. However, I don't think we have to worry about who else may or may not be watching the dozen or so of us who write here. In my view, we need to write honestly, the inquiry for more information is valid but taking issue with another person's presentation means fewer and fewer people will make use of this group. Generally those things are better done in personal emails. Bob wrote: We're talking about a pretty serious situation here, and I don't feel that you've presented your treatment protocol in a very professional manner. I know it is something of a cliche and a canard on this list to criticize each other for unprofessionalism, but, as I mentioned in a response to another posting, who knows who may be reading this discussion? I'd like members of other health care professions stumbling across this list to think that we act in a mature, professional manner, and, in this medium, the only way to convey that impression is to communicate in that way.

I think what Bob is saying about our professional image and communication on forums such as this list is very important. However, why is such obvious clinical exaggerations a taboo in public forums. Seeing CURE rates for biomedical diseases such as OCD, schizophrenia, primary anxiety disorders, and such is truly laughable. Are we going, as a profession, start to publicly address these type of ethical issues. To me its just as much a question of ethics as treating a patient beyond one's or our professional ability.
