A colleague's brother is a doctor with like two years experience in one of the general hospitals.He helped deliver a woman who already has two children.During the post delivery treatment,the curious husband asked why his wife required such.The doctor told the hubby that the woman needed all the treatment since she is HIV positive.The husband was shocked as he didint know her status.In fact,she has been positive before they got married but she decieved the husband with fake medical report which stated she was negative.The man left and never returned.The doctor defended his actions as he claimed her file clearly stated she has HIV before marriage which is over 5 yrs and has been on drugs so he thought the hubby knew her status. The question is; Was it ethical to have disclosed the woman's status to her husband and if not,What are the likely consequences of his action? Uh, it is difficult to answer the second question without knowing the pertinent laws in the nation where the doctor lives. It is possible that the doctor assumed that the husband already knew about his wife's HIV. True, we don't know the law there. But assuming is STILL wrong. Myself- while I was married. I had 2 different doctors call my husband in from the waiting room, while do the "Doctor patient post examination / testing consultation" Without ASKING me. I was livid both times, told the doctor off , had my husband leave the room. And this was for my heart. But it was MY decision. Not the doctors. Not my husbands My mothers Or any one else. It was a breech of confidentiality |

The doctor is wrong. The doctor works for his patient.And there is the " doctor patient confidentiality" MAJOR law suit exactly. 1- Health status is personal 2- And to tell or not tell is up to the person. 3-It is NOT the dortors decision to make. 4- In the USA is patient is given forms for' contact information:.. even ''emergency contact', is NOT full medical disclosure. 5- Medical status is for medical personal & anthing contagious is for the state or government to know, for spread & prevention & stats. The moral issue is between the couple. The husband could try to sue the wife. The doctor made no apologies because he is NOT sorry for his actions. And probably had passed some kind of judgement on the woman. (rarely in Africa, do women contract aids because of promiscuity). I don't believe the doctor assumed anything. If so, he is still wrong. And an apology is not enough. The doctor knew better. I think k the doctor should be sued & maybe his ' career' destroyed. After all, look at the destruction he has caused& the domino effect. |

Well...this is full of questions, but I don't understand the question?....lol I say " I don't give a rat's *** ".. I don't know why? I don't know where I got it from? It may be regional, from where I use to live. So I couldn't stop laughing at your original post..... |

Excellent point. I think the " doing nothing about it "... I just can't phantom. I lost count of how many times I have called the cops on 'domestic distubances' (I loath that phrase) & called the toll free, child abuse hot line (which can be done animosity).
And I have seen the woman's , male relatives seek there own justice (epecially if a restraining order was broken & the cops did not make an arrest). And I have seen women start their lives over, after relocating. And I have seen men move on to the next girl friend/ victim. I just don't get it. |

I think ' true love' sounds like s fairy tale.
I think love is not enough. Can't live on it. Won't keep people together. So many other factors , other than ''true love ' for a relationship to work |

step kids beaten to near death ? how is this guy not still in jail ?? injury to a child is a serious felony...in a case like this there would be mandatory jail time meted out...if she were complicit in hiding the crime, those children should be taken away from both of them before she has a chance to even consider letting him back into those kids lives.....jmo w/o knowing the full facts... I was thinking the same thing. And the OP said " step kids ". .. so who's kids? Where is the other parent, that is doing nothing? Where is the family? The neighbors? The teachers? .... No one has done anything? But what they say, is important ? I'm not sure I'm buying this.... or it is a really messed up community. |

When a person defines a relationship as lite/easy/no strings then it is highly unlikely that the relationship is EVER going to be anything else. You set the value low it is unlikely to appreciate; or inflate; in any good way at least. To have heartburn because you get disappointed that someone lived down to "low standards" agreed to is like crying that the dog ate your sandwich you left on the coffee table. A dog is going to be a dog. Apology or confession that your a dog still makes you a dog. If you sleep with a dog you should at least expect fleas. Younger women that think they can pretend to be casual about their self respect and probable responsibilities should not be surprised when the get stuck with the puppies of whatever hound dog they messed around with while he is long gone. I guess since the guy is the dog, and because she was doing the same exact thing that would mean she is a dog(the female version) as well, who knows maybe she gave him fleas It is not a slam against men... She is saying " We get what we settle for " & " what did you expect, with those standards " |

I know someone who is being told she has to take her abusive ex back because he says he is sorry now. She does not want to because he beat the stepkids almost to death. what do you think she should do? I think she should leave the area and never look back. The most dangerous time for a woman is when or after she leaves. Statically this is when they are murdered & sometimes other people are also. She must go to a shelter, file a restraining order & relocate & never ever look back. No good bye' s nothing. She is fighting for her & her children's lives. To hell with what other people think. . |

If your mate confessed to cheating the first week of your relationship, would you considered that cheating? I think you answered your own question by referring to the individual as ' mate' & the action as 'cheating'. It will always be on your mind as an offence. Which IMO, is not fair to you or this partner. Suspicion is not love it is fear & insecurity. Myself- I could not possibly be that attached so quickly. Or judge someone I don't consider I'm in a relationship with. Relationships are 'mutually agreed contracts'. Op, just so you understand, just because you are sleeping with someone DOESN'T mean you are in a 'relationship' with them, or they with you... Although i have met some women who do hold that view...but if your view is that 'if i sleep with you, then we're in a relationship' that should be made clear before you jump in bed with him.... This ^^^ Men aren't mind readers. And they don't carry s list of each woman's (unwritten) rules. Imo- The minute a woman thinks she can change a man, is the minute she lost him. Vaginas are not magical. |

MAN DICKSHUNARY: *****: A woman who HAS had sex with you. Whore: A woman who WON'T have sex with you. The preceding was for humor purposes only. Nobody get all worked up. Prostitutes don't appeal to me anymore than does "sharing" a woman with whom I am having a physical relationship. Shucks, I wouldn't drink out of a glass a stranger used much less follow him in the "batting order". I know it is a joke. And too often that is true. * If a woman would of said it., before you... oh ' man hater' & ' bitter' " |

Isn't prostitution selling yourself FOR SEX, not just selling yourself? Clear difference. We're comparing apples and oranges. ^ this and it is not just having sex it is being paid to have sex whether a man is attractive or not... dress it up and excuse it away all y'all wanna a ho is just a ho lol And some people view any woman who has sex out of wedlock is a ho. And some men think each of their exes is a ho And some people think that promiscuous women are ho's , because they enjoy it. And some people think that a prositute or porn actress is just doing a job & should get all the money she can, one reason being they don't enjoy it. They are just faking a fantasy. And some people think Call girls get the real pervs, so they deserve to have their own clients & get the big bucks. |
